It started off very like "Survivors" but with kids | As a result there is no internet, no phone networks, no police or any sort of governing body and no one to make them dinner |
---|---|
So we have two story lines each episode | This was really good fun! I started watching it with my little brother but I got quite hooked on it myself I'm 22 and made the effort to watch it even when my brother wasn't around |
After the first few episodes the group of children we have been following splits up, one group staying behind in the hotel they have found to live in, one group going off in a camper-van on a quest to bring the adults back.
8So kids in their early teens have to take on the role of parent to children they hardly know and the children all need to take on adult responsibilities in order to protect the world | It's a really good children's adventure series! There are some children who react badly to the crisis and misuse their newfound freedom but the majority of the children we see are very concerned with helping each other and particularly looking after younger children or children less able than them |
---|---|
Children everywhere see the need to work in groups and so tribes are formed all over the country | With "Sarah Jane" still running and "Just William" airing over the holidays and now "The Sparticle Mystery" things are definitely looking up for children's TV! There is a mystery to be solved and once it's solved hopefully everything will go back to how it was before |
Unlike Survivors the catastrophe is something that most of the children imagine is reversible.
One is about the hotel kids setting up home and a life, the other is about the questers meeting other groups of kids and seeing how children in different areas are adapting | The characters are all developed rather well considering there are 10-11 main characters and the episodes are only half an hour |
---|---|
As such it becomes more like "Madigan's Quest" or "Star Trek" with imaginative one episode story lines about other groups of people |
