The Sarah Jane Adventures

This was great family viewing to attract a new generation of viewers to a franchise. The plot wasn’t predictable at all, and the only thing that let it down was that the characters were overconfident at times and they didn’t seem to embrace fear when battling monsters as well as everyday issues, though most of the activities are planned in the attic and we rarely get to see the rest of the house. That said, it was a very enjoyable drama of extra-terrestrial  activity spurned on by someone who had done it all before and knew the cost of what is to be done. There’s some original characters as well as some old favourites and the series is well on point with its continuity. I love it when aliens turn into gunk when they decompose and the expressions the actors use when they brace themselves for it. There’s also some great guest stars in its villainous cast. It’s a shame that the series had to cease so abruptly.
