Endlings

 

Set in 2040, Endlings begins when fourteen-year-old runaway orphan Julia is escorted to her new foster home by two policemen. At the farm, Julia meets her new housemates Johnny, Tabby, Finn and her new foster parent, Mr. Leopold

Soon after, Julia, along with her housemates, gets swept up into a supernatural world. They discover aliens really do exist and that they need to save them and other endangered species before they are all really gone. 






During their adventure, they encounter one of the world's last remaining elephants, Tuko. She was thought to have vanished mysteriously from her sanctuary earlier on.


Endlings had a great way of delving into the past by using flashbacks. A really great way of telling important parts of the story whilst connecting it to the present.

Finn's connection with the alien pilot was really touching, the aliens can't communicate with words and neither can Finn. Meaning a mutual understanding is formed. 


I loved how we got to see the adult's backstories, as well as the children's. Many kids shows, only show one perspective, that of a child's or their friends. Endlings shows us the children's perspective, the adults and animals. 






Against all odds, the foster children that were once outsiders to the rest of the world, manage to come together using their knowledge to save the Endlings and surrounding endangered wildlife. 


All whilst being investigated by Hewes and her team, who is researching these extraterrestrial beings for experiments for an unknown reason.
