Chocky (1984)
7/10
Intellectual sci-fi

Warning: Spoilers
A very different kind of kid's TV show from the 1980s. Based on a book by John Wyndham, this takes a literate and intellectual approach to the material, so no budget STAR WARS heroics or ray gun action here. No sir. Instead we get a quiet, thoughtful and often slow exploration of extraterrestrial intelligence on earth. Well acted by the kid throughout, not much in the way of action or peril, but lots of drama and occasional melodrama.
