Intruders is a science fiction suspense drama television series that premiered on BBC America on August 23, 2014. The series features an impressive cast that includes John Simm, Mira Sorvino, James Frain, Millie Brown, and Tory Kittles. The show follows an interconnected set of characters, including husband and wife Jack and Amy Whelan, played by Simm and Sorvino, respectively. Jack is a former police officer turned writer who is struggling with writer’s block, while Amy suffers from a mysterious illness. When a stranger shows up at their door and tells them that their former address is the site of a spiritual ritual, their lives are turned upside down.

James Frain stars as Richard Shepherd, a mysterious and ruthless banker who seems to be connected to Amy’s illness. Millie Brown portrays a young girl named Madison who is on the run from a mysterious organization, while Tory Kittles plays an ex-cop named Gary Fischer who becomes embroiled in the strange world of supernatural occurrences.

The show takes place in the Pacific Northwest and explores the dark, hidden corners of human existence. As the audience is introduced to each character, their interconnectedness becomes apparent, and the supernatural secrets they each hold start to unravel.

From the first episode, the show sets the stage for an ominous and mysterious exploration of the human psyche. The use of flashbacks and dream sequences keeps the audience guessing and heightens the suspense of the show. The cinematography is also particularly striking, with beautiful shots of the Pacific Northwest landscape that both entice and unsettle the audience.

The show also has a unique take on the traditional ghost or supernatural story. Instead of relying on jump scares or traditional horror tropes, Intruders delves into the more philosophical and psychological aspects of supernatural occurrences. The characters are forced to confront their own mortality and the morality of their actions, creating a deep and thought-provoking storyline.

In addition to the exploration of supernatural occurrences, Intruders also touches on important societal issues such as class struggle and corruption within institutions. This adds an extra layer of complexity to the storyline and gives the show a broader appeal.

The acting in Intruders is top-notch, with brilliant performances from each member of the cast. John Simm and Mira Sorvino deliver particularly powerful performances as the struggling couple. Simm portrays Jack’s inner turmoil with intense vulnerability, while Sorvino brings a strong emotional depth to Amy’s character.

James Frain also delivers a chilling performance as the ominous Richard Shepherd, radiating an unsettling presence that adds to the show’s suspense. Millie Brown’s portrayal of Madison is equally impressive, perfectly encapsulating the fear and desperation of a young girl running from an unknown entity.

Overall, Intruders is a thought-provoking and engrossing sci-fi thriller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The strong acting, stunning cinematography, and unique take on the supernatural genre make it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a suspenseful and philosophical television series.
