There's a minor disappointment to be had with this story. It looks and feels impressive, and we shall certainly go on to see where this story succeeds. However there are one or two things that fail to make everything work. One such thing is the decision to have a giant rat as a monster. On paper, it sounds like a good idea. Rats are creepy looking animals, and could easily frighten youngsters. However, in creating the special effects for the rat, we end up with an unconvincing prop and a shot that is blatantly a normal sized rat climbing over a model. It's disappointing because the serial promises us so much from the outset, with a fantastic design and intriguing story. Still, nothing is perfect and I've got a feeling that this serial will improve...
