I've read some of the negative reviews, and I can assume is they watched one or two episodes and judged on that basis, having gotten through til the end I would say it starts off slowly but develops into something rather good. Nightvisiting is the best of the early episodes, but the latter episodes are exceptional, the finale is brilliant.
The series perhaps suffers slightly by the confines of the School, but there is so much more mileage here, I genuinely think with a new team this could be turned into something memorable. A definite failure by the schedulers, putting this on at absurd times, it was never going to build a following. A Saturday evening slot would have been so much more effective.
Solid performances I would say, the show benefits enormously when Pooky Quesnel arrives as the new Headmistress. Her last scenes contain a true squee moment.
Series two is a must, this show really does deserve a second chance, it's so easy to axe a show after one series, especially sci fi, give it a chance. 8/10
