Season 1 Review: It’s creepy, especially when the children talk to the unseen Drill. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Spielberg has always had a facility for casting children and a fondness for the supernatural. In The Whispers he also gets the adult mix right in a bracingly good and shivery serial drama with much to show and tell in the first three hours. Read full review

Season 1 Review: True, the series is marred by some very lazy writing.... Despite it all, this is seriously addictive stuff. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The Whispers has a polished feel, enough twists, and moves just well enough to steadily build on its central mystery. So for now, anyway, even if the kids aren’t all right, the show is. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The show is no great shakes. The ostensible drama and tension rarely feel earned, and people's attitudes about child development seem under-informed. But as the show digs harder into its sci-fi elements (it's loosely based on a Ray Bradbury short story called "Zero Hour," in which children facilitate an alien invasion), and pushes into the whole global-mayhem option, it picks up a little juice.

Season 1 Review: The Whispers (created by Soo Hoo and claiming Steven Spielberg as an executive producer) is too slow and self-consciously creepy to hold my attention for long. Your response may vary. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Elements like design, atmosphere, casting--the things that produce tension beyond concept--are absent. And Rabe is a surprisingly ineffective lead, although it is mostly due to the horrendous dialogue she’s been given. Read full review
