Based on Joe Hill's New York Times best-selling novel of the same name, "NOS4A2" is a different kind of vampire story. It follows Vic McQueen, a gifted young woman who discovers she has a supernatural ability to find lost things. This ability puts her on a collision course with the evil and immortal Charlie Manx. Manx is a supernatural villain who feeds off the souls of children and then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland -- a twisted place of Manx's imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law. Vic strives to defeat Manx and rescue his victims -- without losing her mind or falling victim to him.

Critics Consensus

Though Nos2a2 strains to build the necessary atmosphere to pull off its ambitious premise, it does capture the spirit of Joe Hill's singular work and provide a new psychopath for Zachary Quinto to sink his teeth into.

Though the series feels like it's about to take off at any moment, it struggles to get into gear.

Cold opens don't get much more chilling than the first scene of AMC's new supernatural horror drama NOS4A2.

NOS4A2 was an opportunity for AMC, an assortment of promising literary kernels that could have really come to life in a different medium. Instead, it's a bridge to nowhere and the only not-so-magical escape is changing the channel.

It's not a perfect series, but it is an entertaining binge that will put you in the Halloween mood.

Devoid of emotion or an imaginary that justifies its 10 episodes installed in disinterest for its scattered narrative.[Full Review in Spanish]

This is excellent horror telefantasy. Check it out as soon as you can, and be aware that a second series is very much on the way.

Vampire motifs mingled liberally with equal parts Christmas and Stephen King's Christine. A riveting psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. Binge-worthy.

NOS4A2 is a very solid horror / thriller. Led by excellent performances from Ashleigh Cummings and Zachary Quinto, the series moves along at a fast pace with plenty of creepiness and intrigue. I purposely have not watched the second series given the poor reviews and departure from the source material covered so well in this first series.

Every character in this show is insufferable except Charlie Manx.

I gave 2 stars to be generous. This is so bad, it's unwatchable. I grew up in Iowa. They got the scenery and the accent entirely wrong. What the hell is this supposed to even be?
