Its familiar elements are ordered and executed with above-average intelligence and polish, enough that you can overlook a couple of gaping coincidences that keep the plot moving. Most important is its strong cast.

This show will not equal the artistic impact of the original film, but it retains its meditative qualities while upping the horror and the narrative intrigue, and it may be the case that it attracts more American viewers in the end.

If the user reviewer "shoulderoforion" would have watched a bit more of the opening show he would have found out that the father of the young man who got toasted in the opening scene had been working on a cure and was sure it would be successful. Thus the experiment in the sun at the start of the episode. I would suggest to "shoulderoforion to not give up so easily and hang in their for a bit longer. He might be pleasantly surprised. I've seen both movies of Let the Right One In and liked them both. And this new version seems interesting with some promise.

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.

The show is most interesting when the kids are at the center; each has what the other needs. Foreman and Baez are genuine and touching, and it’s easy to invest in their story, with fingers crossed for a good outcome.

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.

Read the book and see both movies first. Once you know the story and accept that this isn’t definitive, its complementary merits have some value, even if the show doesn’t offer the devastating variations on a fertile theme that I would have hoped for.

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.

Suffers from the same ailment of needless elongation due to a surfeit of subplots padding the original text. A feature’s worth of story cannot always be made to fill a serial run time, but it seems that that’s not going to stop anyone from trying.

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.
