I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when the second series aired. What was a magnificent, mysterious and unsettling series became a rubber monster of the week kiddies show, with Maya as a get out clause every week.
I agree it was a bit faster paced, but it was awful. |
The two parter
Bringers of Wonder was my fave of the whole series. I remembered it as a child and thought it was great all those years later when i watched the dvd's. Those monsters freaked me out big time.
