SyFy's "Childhood's End" 3-part miniseries

[Lincoln6Echo]

SyFy is airing a 3-part miniseries based off of a classic 1954 Arthur C Clarke novel called "Childhood's End." It's about the coming of age of Earth as an Interstellar traveling culture but is interrupted by the visitation of 'V' or 'ID4' style ships that hover over most major cities on Earth. The alien(s) supposedly come in peace with an offer to fix all of Earth problems like
Disease, War, Political Strife, Handicapped people, etc. Except there's one catch...they won't reveal their true identity to the people of Earth...at first. Only a voice is heard, because the people of Earth aren't ready for the Truth. But after 15 years on Earth, the alien reveals himself to the People in an special arena type event.

[Show spoiler]The alien is a stereo-typical Devil-type figure...a red 7-8 foot tall, muscular goat humanoid with curved horns, huge dragon-like wings, and hoofed feet. Think Tim Curry's Devil figure in Legend, but a bit scarier.

A part of the miniseries airs each night starting Monday 12-14-16, but the whole 3-part series airs Wednesday starting at 4pm ET.
