In the most recent posts I mentioned this trend in the current television season underway on new U.S. TV series that are tied to the supernatural in ways and forms. fall somewhere between those heirs Twin Peaks, the series Happy Town ABC. The small town
of Haplin (which does not exist but has several references to the geography of Minnesota although the first season was filmed in several Canadian locations), is also known as Happy Town for its tranquility, but not everything is as it seems. Every seven years the people disappear because of the Magic Man feature of the town is its bread factory overlooking the village and spreads a pleasant smell in the air and detail.
The series is created by Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec Scott Rosenberg and colleagues already in Life on Mars, and the first two, in Alias. The first season consists of only 8 episodes, the last two exchanged only in streaming, because the series was canceled in the race.
The atmosphere of the series is not without charm but perhaps the risk of this kind of show is just what groped too many references to the best-known predecessor, that Twin Peaks but moving on different tracks and he saw, with the presence of Lynch, a proven and authorship beyond doubt. In this case it incurs in the normal risk, to not groped a net approach to fantasy, but leaving things too open, as well as the choice of genre to follow, as a successful pastiche is not easily achieved.
worth noting in the cast as a household name Sam Neill (Jurassic Park , the Mouth of Madness, The Piano and, for television, The Tudors ) and a name like the cult of David Cronenberg , guest star in an episode.
