The exciting events of the science fiction series 'Childhood's End' that follows an invasion to earth by the peaceful Aliens, who wants to transform the poverty and sickness to happiness and peaceful, but the question that revolves around that, why they do something like that? and what they want from the people of Earth?. So, this season starts with peaceful Aliens on the Earth and their attempts to lead the people to Utopia but they doubt about that because these creatures refuse to show their appearances.
Syfy's adaptation plays with Clarke's plot and themes but does so in such a leaden, DOA way that it's almost like a grade-school paper from someone who didn't read the assignment.
Some of the original tale's poetic, deceptively detached tone remains, but this miniseries ends up feeling derivative of the films and TV shows that have come in Childhood's End's wake.
Will everything come together by the third night? Will Clarke's visionary book make sense? (Or will this turn into total nonsense?) Unknown, but at least there's enough promise here to hint that it's worth waiting to find out.
Although it may favor those less familiar with the classic source material, Childhood's End provides anyone willing to take a chance on the series a complex, weird and undeniably shocking sci-fi trip.
