In an attempt to survive in the horrible world, where humans have to live and deal with the characters of the old mythology, who struggle against survival among people, who seek to destroy them, in order to live in peace. A newly discovered Hairy People, do a series of attack on people of the city.
It's at the very least, a fairly interesting premise and just compelling enough to keep one watching, especially with the limited pickings during the summer months.
Cleverman has a rough immediacy in its pacing and cinematography that helps to make up for its deficiencies elsewhere, and if you have an appetite for sci-fi conspiracy thrillers, it's worth sampling.
In an age of television (and film) where those qualities are sorely lacking, especially in the superhero genre, Cleverman isn't just refreshingly original, it's groundbreaking.
Despite its shaky themes, Cleverman is still a quality sci-fi drama fit for both aficionados and newbies of the genre. It may rest in familiar supernatural tropes, but its original take on Australian culture will grab American attention.
Cleverman is unlike any other TV miniseries you've seen before. The gritty Australian production uses a sci-fi backdrop to test notions of racial identity and integration with a twist of supernatural terror.
Like WGN America's Underground, about a group of runaway slaves on a Georgia plantation, Cleverman pours an underdog minority tale into the superhero mold.
Cleverman is clever in many senses: it's thought-provoking near-future science fiction delivered through pacy storytelling with an indigenous twist, but it's also witty as well as bittersweet.
