    NOS4A2 S01E01 Review: The Shorter Way – Just enough spookiness to hook viewers

    By Salome G
    | June 2, 2019
    TV News

    NOS4A2, developed for television by Jami O’Brien (known for her work on shows like Fear the Walking Dead and Hell on Wheels), is based on the novel by Joe Hill. Even if you’ve read the book, though, there are still surprises to be found in the AMC series. That’s partly because some of it will be taken from the spin-off graphic novel Wraith. In addition, the book takes place over decades, and we don’t have enough time for that, at least not in one season. So we fast forward a bit.

    Nos4a2 S01 Poster

    For example, instead of meeting protagonist Vic McQueen (Ashleigh Cummings) as a little girl, we meet her as an 18-year-old, about to graduate from high school in Haverhill, Massachusetts. She doesn’t have the worst life imaginable, but it’s not that great, either. Her parents, Chris (Eben Moss-Bachrach) and Linda (Virginia Kull), care for her in their own ways, but their relationship is far more volatile. It leaves real bruises.

    And in fact, it’s one of their rows that will propel Vic out of the house and closer to what I guess we can call her destiny. But at the moment, it just looks like an old covered bridge. That’s because it is, or at least, it was. As aspiring artist Vic finds out when she shows her dad a sketch of the bridge, “The Shorter Way” was demolished years ago.

    Nos4a2 S01e01 Chris Mcqueen Ebon Moss Bachrach Vic Mcqueen Ashleigh Cummings

    That’s an unnerving thing to learn, obviously, after you’ve both seen the bridge and ridden across it. But that’s not the only mystery afoot. The first time Vic encounters the bridge, it gives her a clue about a missing object. The next time something’s lost, riding over the small bridge takes her to it, to a location in another state.

    Unsurprisingly, though, there’s a price to pay. Right now, Vic just gets headaches and burst blood vessels in her eye, but unbeknownst to her, she’s forging a connection to something ugly. Apparently, The Shorter Way is a bridge out of our world and into other ones, other “inscapes,” or inner landscapes. We don’t know all the places it can go yet, but unfortunately, one of those places crosses Charlie Manx (Zachary Quinto).

    Nos4a2 S01e01 Charlie Manx Zachary Quinto

    Who is Charlie Manx? He’s a ghoul, a child predator who roams the country abducting kids. The title of the show refers to his Rolls-Royce Wraith’s license plate, a word puzzle that hints at his nature. He’s a vampire, you see–not a blood-sucker exactly, but a thief of souls, of life-forces. And he lures children to the Wraith with the promise of a visit to “Christmasland,” “a very special place where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law.”  (If a predator who uses normally innocent tropes of childish joy as his Venus flytrap sounds familiar, one of the inscapes on Manx’s personal map of horrors is “Pennywise’s Circus.”)

    We join him in Here, Iowa, where he goes after young Daniel Moore (Asher Miles Fallica). He gets away with the boy, but the operation is largely a mess, due to the incompetence of his helper Ives (Michael Maize), who leaves clues behind. So Manx kills Ives. He’ll need another helper soon.

    Nos4a2 S01e01 Maggie Leigh Jj Smith

    Also in Here is Maggie Leigh (Jahkara Smith), a librarian who can use Scrabble tiles similarly to how Vic uses The Shorter Way–to find out info or to find objects. When she asks for information about Daniel, the tiles returned spell out “WRAITH.” Later, they’ll spit out “THE BRAT” as a source of help for Maggie. As this is Chris’s nickname for Vic, it would seem as if the two strands are going to be joining together.

    And that’s a good thing, because Manx is now prowling around Haverhill. Having put an ad in the back of a comic book, he’s now luring in a new helper, a gentle but troubled man named Bing Partridge (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson). It’s unclear whether he’s cottoned on to Vic yet, but it’s only a matter of time. She may be the help for Maggie, but it seems as if it’s only a matter of time before Vic herself needs some help. A nightmare is coming.

    7/10 – Although the series kinda gets off to a slow start, there’s still enough spookiness about to hook viewers. One reason is that Manx is an interesting villain–although he is objectively doing bad, he appears to view himself as the hero of his own story, rescuing children from neglect. So far he’s not overtly terrifying–in fact, he’s almost kindly. The worst monsters sometimes are.

    The whole first season was available for a few days on Xfinity On Demand as one of their binge-viewing releases. I didn’t have time to see it until today, but last night must have been the last day the show was available because it’s no longer showing up. I’m bummed!

    That’s too bad. I also see the rating on IMDB and get slightly worried about the series. I guess it won’t hurt to give it a try since nothing catches my eyes lately anyway.

    This pilot episode is both interesting and boring. I want to just jump into the supernatural elements right away because most people around Vic are just flat. Maybe I’m judging them too fast; we’ll see.

    When the name popped up on my telly, I assumed NOS4A2 was Leet Speak from some new version and I settled in to watch a hacker themed programme. I figured out pretty quickly that it was no such thing, but I wasn’t at all disappointed. So far I really like this series and Vic’s character is especially compelling.

    This is the first I’ve heard of the programme. I’ve read the book that it’s based on and it was rather entertaining. I’ll set my telly to remind me of this series when it comes on again.

    I haven’t watched this one yet, but the description gave me the creeps. A ghoul prowling the countryside abducting children? Yikes. I’m a wimp, if it involves kids getting hurt, even fictional kids, I don’t want to see it.

    I think it’s going to be a brilliant series. Manx is likable, a bit like Villanelle, you know what they’re doing is wrong but you can’t help but understand where they’re coming from.

    I agree! I’m really excited about this series. I love a good vampire story. This combined the spookiness with a good story. It didn’t just on the spookiness, it was complimented by it.

    Perhaps I’m a lightweight when it comes to spooky but I felt this was certainly “spooky enough” for the initial episode. It left them plenty of avenues to explore which means they just might take the opinions of a hopefully growing fan base into consideration with future seasons. It is sort of like pushing a boulder down a hill, you don’t need a bazooka to achieve momentum, just a nudge in the right direction.

    Ha, my spookiness meter is probably like my spiciness meter–I like both in excess. But that’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy this episode, of course.

    I can get on board with the spiciness meter! How about “cornyness” thought? I rewatched the episode and didn’t get too much more out of it which is a little disappointing for a premiere, but it really got me thinking about how ridiculous the show’s title is! 🙂

    Sadly, I wasn’t able to pick up the references right away, but I kind of liked the title. Despite the “cornyness”, it made me curious about the meaning and what kind of show it wants to be. I’d say it’s ridiculously effective!

    Sometimes I wonder if “good enough” is really good enough. It is always hard for a new series to “get off the ground” and let the actors really get into their characters so I haven’t lost hope yet. There actually seems to be some interesting potential here but that brings me back to my point. Does anyone else ever feel like we just expect too much from every episode, every show, every character, etc, to the point that we’re not happy with a decent performance?

    I do feel like that sometimes, so I try to be lenient in the beginning. As long as the pilot makes me feel somewhat curious, I’d say it’s successful enough. The rest has to carry that momentum for me to keep watching.

    I haven’t seen this episode, but the recap/review is already intriguing. A new type of vampire? Count me in. Hopefully, I can find some time to watch this one soon; otherwise, I’m camping here for Salome’s recaps!
