1 February 2018
Eight weeks of Christmas, eight hours of thrill, comedy sci-fi , action and drama , eight hours taste like The Nutcracker of Tchaikovsky which i'm writing this review while listening to. This show needs to go bigger , oh it will go bigger,, the Idea is so original , the script is strong and mixed yet so easily followable ,, the whole thing of an imaginary friend seeking for the kids father to save his daughter was home-run for the creator/writer the Scotsman Grant Morrison which was that average writer in Gotham and Batman series till he drop this genuine masterpiece.

As i mentioned the show talks about an imaginary friend who try to find his kidnapped "kid friend" by being visible to the father of that kid , and then the chase begin and the story unravel itself with more and more fast comedy mixed with action and emotional scenes.

The cast choice was the best i'v could have wished for ,,,Christopher Meloni is one of the best actors who excelled in serious spontaneous dark comedy, but he hadn't had much luck since he left Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and since then he stared in one series "recommended" comedy "Surviving Jack" were he was amazing in ,, up until now ,, this needs to be his door for an Emmy or a Golden Globe or any major award, because he is damn worth it ... the other who played "Francisco Scaramucci", "Det. Meredith", "Hailey ", "Amanda", "Mikey ", "Bad Santa" and the amazing Patton Oswalt who was the voice of Happy ,, the all were engaging and brilliant.

Cinematography and special effects perfect, soundtrack .., well of course ,.,

Finally, the series has officially been renewed, "no surprise in there" ,, but i really wish for more episodes, this is SyFy ,, it's not HBO or Netflix or any of those who are bound and limited by 10 or 13 episodes ,, we need a 20-22 episodes second season ,, i know it would be a struggle as i believe it suppose to premiere next December :D but still please more episodes per season. see you next Christmas ;)
