A teenage boy named Paul is haunted by apocalyptic dreams that nobody can explain. As if that weren't terrifying enough, he begins to see spirits of the dead, known as The Fades, all around him. The Fades can't be seen, smelt, heard or touched by other humans. When an embittered and vengeful Fade, Polus, finds a way to be human again, it's up to Paul to stop him - and all of the dead - from breaking back into the world and destroying the human race. (BBC)

This is ok. Watchable, barely. A bit muddled. And, the worst thing about it, it's British. The land of non-creativity! Lots of vomiting though, if you're into that.

Only 6 episodes long, The Fades manages to take established tropes and crafts a delightfully demonic mythology with an intriguing plot. With strong writing, a great cast on the verge of much bigger things, and a dark tone with the occasional moment of levity, the show was fun watch and ahead of its time. A shame it was cancelled because it didn't "attract the right demographic".

Good comic interludes but flawed overall.
