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.

What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

Cold opens don't get much more chilling than the first scene of AMC's new supernatural horror drama NOS4A2. Go to Full Review
Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter 06/01/2019
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. Go to Full Review

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

Jason T. @SlasherFan82 Dec 15 Amazing show! I watched season 1 from start to finish🍿 See more Jeff C @JeffCraig Nov 17 Every character in this show is insufferable except Charlie Manx. See more Summer V Nov 11 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? See more KerryWhite's S @KerryWhite77 12/04/2024 Rating: 7/10. 74/100 See more Yoga at home with S 01/20/2024 As a huge fan of the book, this show was a huge disappointment. I understand needing to make SOME changes to adapt to tv, but they changed the entire story, everything except the names and the premise. The beauty of making a book into a tv series is you have the ability and time to stay true to the book, unlike a movie where you have to squeeze whole book into 2 hours. The show was boring and slow. See more Lee H 04/20/2022 Very unique storytelling and I loved it. Not at first but each episode gets more suspenseful and heart-pounding. Was captivated the whole time. See more Read all reviews
