The Neighbors. (short&simple)

This my first post here, and first time ever reviewing something other than for school.
I first heard of this series a while ago, but never gave it attentions, until the other day. I spent the day watching all the episodes.

The show follows the Weaver family, Marty (father), Debbie (mother), and the three Weaver children Amber (oldest), Max (middle child) and Abby (youngest), moving to a town house in 'Hidden Hills'.

Debbie and the kids were very upset about the move, But Marty says its a good thing for his family. Once moved in to their new home, they encounter their new Neighbors who show some rather odd behavior.

The Bird-Kersee invite the Weavers over to the house for dinner. At dinner the Weavers are the only ones that are eaten, as the Bird-Kersee family are reading. They later find out that that is their way of eating, as they 'feed the mind.'

The youngest child of the Bird-Kersee is Dick Butkus, who shows his true self to Max and Abby. Later that night, after the young ones told their parents what had happened, who thought they were lying, the whole neighborhood shows up, claps over their heads (that is how they turn into their alien form) revile themselves.

Over the series both the Weavers and the Bird-Kersee learn about each others way of life, and really come to be great friends.

While watching i couldn't help but feel that there was something about Amber's eyebrows that just didn't fit well with her. I know that isn't a huge thing just really bothered me!
Also with her acting it felt a little overwhelming to watch.

Besides, my little troubles with Amber, i thought the rest of the cast was really good, sometimes Dick Butkus was a bit overwhelming also, but not as much!

I really like the houses in the series, i don't know why I've just also been interested in houses!

I also loved how the writers come up with all these different things that the aliens do, eg, when crying, green goo comes out of their ears. The leader, Larry bird, whenever he feels upset the whole town feels it too. Alos, growing plants in their bathroom!

Over all, i really enjoyed watching the show, and hope that it has a second season, its disappointing about the rating it has gotten, but i hope it improves because it would be a shame to see such a great show get canceled. So much hard work has gone into the show, and im thankful for all the people who have helped made is possible.

I rate this series (so far) 4/5 ****

I know my writing needs improvement, but this is my first shot at this, and its something ive always wanted to try. It will get better once i keep at it. :)
