Poor little Marshall Teller. First, his parents uproot him from his home in New Jersey. Then they move the whole family to Eerie, Indiana, population 16,661, where nothing is as it seems. Strange things happen in Eerie (which Marshall could have expected from the name); however, only Marshall and his new friend, Simon, seem to notice. As they explore the town, they try to keep evidence as proof of the weird goings-on (such as still-living Elvis showing up). Marshall's father, Edgar, is a scientist who works at a product-testing company; his mother runs a party-planning business at the Eerie Mall.

You watch Eerie for the small-screen spectacle of it all - to see the way feature-film directors like Joe Dante and Tim Hunter oversaw episodes that summoned up an atmosphere of absurdist suburban dread. Go to Full Review Gwen Ihnat AV Club 05/30/2019
The warm, brave performance of the young leads helped ground the town's spookiest elements, preventing the show from spinning off into too-sinister territory. Go to Full Review Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 05/30/2019
Eerie Indiana cleverly towed the line between light-hearted, quirky humor and its underlying darkness, but its unforgiving time slot and expensive production ultimately relegated it to a single season. Go to Full Review Sarah Dobbs Den of Geek 05/30/2019
3/5
It's like a kiddie counterpart to The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits - tamer, with less depth, but that's what you'd expect for something aimed at children. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 05/30/2019
4/5
For older kids, Eerie, Indiana is a fun, off-the-beaten-path throwback that's so entertaining you'll want to take in with them. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
