"October Faction" on Netflix [View all]

This is season one of a series about a mom and dad, with teenage kids, fighting monsters for a super-secret, vastly resourced org called 'The Presidio". Even though the premise was intriguing, I was put off by the mostly charmless cast, unlikable characters and lame dialogue but I stuck through it past episode three because there were enough teasers, and great aerial shots, to make me want to see how things turn out. It was actually worth it. The story evolves into an interesting contemplation on identity and genocide, and your character allegiances will change many times but if you like monster stories and shoot 'em-ups (there's a startling high body count), this might be worth some patience.
