everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I have now watched all 3 seasons of Granite Flats and I was impressed overall. The third series came to a very good climax although I did guess who the "Plummer" was long before he was exposed. Very thought provoking program. Was Lee Harvey Osward programmed to kill President Kennedy? I suppose we'll never know the real story behind that but who knows what dirty dealings went on then and still do to this day. Granite Flats shows the good and bad in all people. Here we have characters who do a lot of stuff they think is for the good of mankind but deep down they regret what they do. Certainly a family type show but the storyline might be too complex for the under tens although I may be underestimating the intelligence of many of them. My main criticism is how the story switches about so much it's often hard to tell what's happening. In between series two and three we learn that Arthur's mother is dead and he is suddenly not very friendly with Timmy and Madeline and we realize how much we have missed because of the huge gap between each season and I wish we could have had more episodes. I was hoping that Arthur would be reunited with his father and I'm not sure there will be another season. Shame if there isn't because there are still a few loose ends. Very enjoyable viewing.

This starts out as a rather somewhat predictable story of a group of 11 year olds, one of which sees something in the late night sky. They all work together to determine just what happened. When they get together with one of their fathers (who happens to be the chief of police in a small town) things grow from there. The story matures each season, the acting improves, and the story line grows deeper and more complex.The 3rd season is really good, as the young characters show a great degree in maturity (probably too much for 13 year olds), and the adults are puzzled and confused as well (both with themselves, their associates, and children).Some times overly dramatic, yet --- still an outstanding series for the whole family. I personally loved the old cars. There were a few costume errors. Filmed in Utah, which resembles Stratmoore/ Ft. Carson, CO (just outside Colorado Springs) in the mid 1960's.

Episode 1 of season 3 was enough for me to turn it off forever. Terrible writing. Loved how it was developing till then. Never seen writers/directors/producers turn a show into a different direction so quickly abruptly and senselessly. Seasons 1 and 2 had rough moments as actors grew into their roles but the storyline was engaging. Bringing Christopher Lloyd in was great. So 5 minutes into season 3 episode one, I realize the show is scrambled. I look up on the internet to confirm. Yes, they have purposely complicated the series. No reason other than the screw with the audience. I realize the kiss at the end of season 2 is the end of the series and I turn this show off forever.

This is BYUtv's first attempt create a family series on a limited budget, so I was concerned it would be cheesy or poorly done. That was true at first, but then they learned from their mistakes, and things got really interesting...Season 1: 5/10 stars. A few good moments. Persevere.Season 2 (first half): 7/10 stars. Improving. Important changes in scripting and acting make a *big* difference.Season 2 (last half): 8/10 stars overall. Added some big name talent, impressive script developments, characters start to come to life.Season 2 (finale): 10/10 stars. Brilliant! They are hitting on all cylinders now.Season 3: Can't wait to see. I feel like I *must* watch it.You'll have trouble understanding season 2 if you don't wade through season 1. IMO it was worth it. Think of it as an example of "agile" business methods (like they used for the iPhone, etc.)--get it out there quickly, learn from your mistakes, improve rapidly based on actual feedback.
