Reception

Movie guide.org wrote: "The series' first six episodes have an overall moral and biblical worldview, with the premise of helping those in need, working as a team, and being kind. On the other hand, there is a subtle occult worldview, as the characters resemble traditional Halloween monsters, and even their city has a monster-based name."
