After peaceful aliens invade earth with the intention to end all suffering and guide humanity into a utopia under the indirect rule. but does this utopia come at a price? And if yes, what is it?
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.
