Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
As I alluded to in my non-spoiler review of the miniseries, the conclusion of Childhood's End was incredibly grim, but at least we got (most of) the answers we were looking for. And similar to Syfy's 2014 miniseries Ascension, a lot of the resolution was determined by children with powers -- which also explains the title, I suppose.
Here, we jumped ahead another four years or so, when Jennifer was old enough to link the "hive mind," as it were, and call on the other kids to unite. If nothing else, this certainly made for an unsettling start to Night Three. This of course spurred the Greggson family to move to New Athens, the last free city, which we had heard mentioned in the previous episode. I was almost half-expecting (and kind of hoping) that Colm Meaney's Wainwright might return here since he was so obviously in favor of rejecting the Overlord's utopia.
Instead, we met yet another lifeless side character, Jerry the Mayor, who set the Greggsons up with a new home. While these scenes weren't particularly stimulating, Jerry's notion that, "to the creative mind, peace is stupefying" seemed to ring true with Jake and allowed us glean a bit more of the differences between the free world and the Overlords'.
To say "The Children" ended on a bittersweet note would be, in Karellen's words, "sugaring the pill." Indeed, Syfy's miniseries didn't pull any punches on Night Three, as literally every single character died. (Though, in fairness, we knew the infinite sadness was coming.) As for whether it was successful or not, I'd say a bit of both. Emotionally,...

I quite enjoyed the ending. It leaves you to interpret whether this was a good ending for mankind. If you have the faith to believe in their evolution and merging with a universal consciousness and that the children have reached the next stage, then the whole thing can be interpreted as a painful but positive outcome; Otherwise, perhaps you might believe that the overmind is nothing more than ...
