Keeping those Halloween shivers alive, this chilling British series (adapting John Wyndham’s sci-fi classic) gets scarier by the week, especially now that the town’s creepy children — all born the same day after inexplicable “miracle” pregnancies — have grown enough to exhibit hive-mind and mind-control abilities. Cross them at your peril. When family therapist Susannah Zellaby (Keeley Hawes), grandmother to spooky Evie, investigates a particularly disturbing incident, she becomes their latest target.
