Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, sci-fi fans and action fans. If you loved Creature Commandos or The Walking Dead, start here.
The mood: Tense, feel-good.
The pace: One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, short, snackable episodes, about 3 hours in all.
What might put you off: No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.

Scientist Alec Holland invents a growth substance that could end world hunger, but a plantation owner obsessed with immortality tries to steal it and causes an accident that turns Alec into a human-plant mutant, protector of the bayou.
