A lot of low scores are because the cast isn't all white considering it's meant to be based in a middle England village. One of the earliest scenes is a character going on a date in London, it's not a middle England village but one of the commuter towns. They've basically made Midwich Amersham (where it's filmed). I also pity anybody who's so racist that the second they see a brown/black face they get angry.
The series had enough to start with that it keeps me in suspense throughout, some of the decision making by the people is questionable but then so is the decision making of people in real life.
My biggest gripe is the ending dragged on a bit and then ends abruptly. There were also a couple of minor bits were the attention to detail with how the kids interacted with each other changed with no explanation. Until the last couple of episodes I'd have given it an 8 or 9 rating.
