It makes the cast of Jackass look like Rhodes scholars.
    I wanted to like the show, but it was taking too much energy to do so.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Whispers had a great start, but it's now the extremely dumbest show on TV. Imagine this, you discover that there's some entity using kids to attack you. Not all kids, just the kids of HIGH LEVEL politicians, military and scientists, and, this is the kicker ... the PRESIDENT!!!!

    Now, we have to allow for some delay in combating this, because, it's kids you know?

    But the FIRST thing you do, is SEPARATING THE KIDS FROM THEIR parents, who are all HIGH LEVEL politicians, military and scientists At the very least, you do NOT allow the kids to be near ANY electricity. But none of this. The adults allow themselves to be manipulated by their own kids, even after everybody knows their kids are being used to manipulate the parents. It's the height of stupidity.

    One excruciation example is Minx, who is threatened to be killed by Drill unless her mother kills someone. How stupid do you have to be as a parent, for your kid constantly doing what their imaginary friend tells them, instead of you?? If your kids are THAT stupid, perhaps they deserve to die.

    This has got to be the dumbest show EVER.

    It’s creepy, especially when the children talk to the unseen Drill.

    The Whispers (created by Soo Hoo and claiming Steven Spielberg as an executive producer) is too slow and self-consciously creepy to hold my attention for long. Your response may vary.

    The Whispers is ultimately a frustratingly hollow experience, an assortment of familiar genre cliches and a stubborn insistence that its primary mystery will remain enticing for us even without hints or the gratification of answers that, in theory, would only elevate the stakes.
