*NO SPOILERS*

The new series gave breath of life to an older classic. Not many were fans of the previous ending. I fit that criteria. This new mini-series was a fun adventure with new problems to face with returning and new characters to chase each other around a tree. All in all, it took some time (a few episodes) to get off the ground, and begin to instill fear and anxiety. I'd say by episode five you are fully vested into the characters and the suspension of disbelief is set. With that said, you are already halfway through the season, so it would be foolish to give up now that you have dedicated that much time into it. Needless to say, by the end, I'm not certain this was the wrap up that was supposed to cure the abysmal ending of the original show. It still left plenty of unanswered questions, and frankly desiring more. I will say if they are attempting to leave it open ended for additional spin-offs, even that was sloppy. It was overall a good experience, but not sure I would pose it as a memorable one.
