After watching the first episode of Intruders, I instantly tweeted about it. I was excited!
A few episodes into it, I find myself becoming more and more a fan but at the same time increasingly frightened that it is a relationship not worth investing in.
This is my plea to BBC America.
Please, please do not fuck Intruders up.
It might be the best sci-fi/mystery thing out there!
On this side of LOST, anyway.
Please keep it within the 90’s feel that was established in the first episode.
Within american gothic fiction.
With acclaimed TV-series like Twin Peaks, X-Files and the rightly named but perhaps to early forgotten TV-series American Gothic.
Do not screw it up by regurgitating LOST.
I beg of you!
True Detective successfully walked down the winding road towards an american gothic feel. The viewers stayed true through the madness.
Do not hide anything in fear of us not wanting to watch the next episode.
We are not children.
We know the monsters are real.
We do not need them explained.
Or psychoanalysed.
Keep it simple, mysterious, dark, gritty, surreal, personal. And relish in the darkness.
But most of all keep us clued-in.
If I even feel a faint whiff of LOST (wow, I really DO have a problem with it. Read more here) during this series, I will walk away.
To never return.
