When I first saw the preview for October Faction I was thinking this was another show targeted at the teenage audience, then i realized the TV-MA rating. When I saw that I decided to give it a try, and I was not disappointed.
The series is based on a comic series created by Steve Niles, and published by IDW Publishing. I personally have never heard of it before the Netflix series. That being said I have not heard of a lot of comic books outside of Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse comics.
At the time of this review there is only 1 season with 10 episodes. This series follows the Allen family, parents Fred and Deloris, and twin teenagers Viv and Geoff. The basic plot of the show is the parents are essentially secret agent monster hunters who take some time off when a family member passes away. The globetrotting family return to Fred and Deloris's home town to settle the affairs.
The primary "bag guy" in this season is a Warlock that was accidentally awakened. Her primary target is the Allen family because of events that happened in the past that will be made clear in later episodes. There are a lot of great parts to this series, but it is difficult to talk about without massive spoilers.
If you are a fan of Supernatural or other similar shows I have no doubt you will enjoy this series, and I am looking forward to another season in the future.
