The Midwich Cuckoos

The atmosphere, script, story and dialogue were all great. Genuinely creepy. The Midwich Child actors were all amazing at what they did indeed.

The series has moved away from the Novel somewhat. We don't have the pale white haired bright eyed kids here. The kids (maybe the program was trying to be woke?) are no where near as creepy and as uniformed or as one because they've moved them away from the novel. They look like average kids. The village atmosphere is lost too. More a community than a small village that's taken over by blackout.

It's okay for what it's worth but no where near as good as some of the original films that stick to the creepy vibe of the novel.
