    Yet another mundane and unnecessary serialisation of what was already a solid original. If you're going to make a series out of something like this, you gotta make sure you have something special, which this is sorely lacking.

I've seen both movies of Let the Right One In and liked them both. And this new version seems interesting with some promise.… Expand

    In this day and age, if you open a vampire show with a scene showing a vampire who's never experienced a sunrise, standing in the middle of an open area, unprotected in any way, just waiting to be fried, and of course gets fried, I'm going to take a very dim view of the minds behind the entire enterprise. Took me about 10 minutes after that to say, nah, and shut it off.

    Some of the choices series creator Andrew Hinderaker makes to expand the story into a TV series land beautifully, particularly the emphasis on Mark's fatherly care for Eleanor and the toll that keeping her safe takes on him. ... It takes a while for the adrenaline to kick into these subplots, and the ordinary familiarity of Naomi's investigation of missing people and unsolved murders around the city adds to the sense of narrative ambling in the slacker portions of these episodes. But the restrained intensity and warmth in Rose's performance bridge well with the rumpled grief Bichir presses into his.

    Thanks to a raft of solid performances and some promising possible paths forward, there’s reason to believe that things may yet grow more intense and bizarre. It’s hard to shake the nagging feeling, though, that Hinderaker’s small-screen remake is too defanged for its own good.

    Let The Right One In is a bit uneven, mainly because some stories are less interesting than others, even if they’ll all get connected somehow by the end of the season. We just want to see how Mark and Ellie manage Ellie’s unusual life, and we want to see more of that as the show goes on.
