The Society

I started this series with very little to none expectations, and as I saw the first few episodes, I thought that my expectations were quite right. But as the show goes on, it really caught me. This isn't some stupid teen-mystery show. Instead of focusing on the how, it focuses on the what-are-we-doing-now. It's kinda like an psychological experiment. Last but not least, the fact that characters are NOT making stupid decisions really appealed to me. So, you gotta give this show a chance, it's worth it! Just hope there will be a second season.

The first 3-4 episodes are slow to many viewers. You'll probably say to yourself..."come one let's get going here." But saying that after episode 3 I believe the slow slow slow burn ends and it gets much better. Some of the acting isn't Oscar material but some is quite good including the lead female character.

I recommend this if u like mystery drama slow burns with some character development and interesting sub plots. I'll give 4/5 stars. Enjoy!

The concept would have been intriguing. But it's inconceivable how little they seem to worry about what happened and where they are. They party hard and drink all the time, yet don't seem to notice that power and water are coming from nowhere? With occasional references to "going home" they just play politics, stumble through adult problems they seem incapable of handling and live in the usual angst filled teen drama.

I loved this series! In the first episodes I wasn't enjoying it much, but then I loved the developement of the characters. This whole "building a new socety" thing is crazy and the tension between the characters is believable.

I'm really mad that Netflix cancelled it, especially after leaving the cliffhanger at the end of the season! There are too many questions that need answers.

Binged this in about a day. Yeah yeah, its mainly only teenagers this season (because that's the plot line y'all) and while that may not be everyone's cup of tea (i'm looking at you low-voters complaining about the age of the characters), its realistic that a large group of teenagers being stuck in a world alone together are going to have teenage problems, they're not adults so don't try to treat them like they're supposed to be. Also, I find it unfair to rate/review a series until you have finished the full thing. Its just a little pretentious to have such strong opinions about something you didn't put any time or effort into finishing.

Its not just rich kids/poor kids, popular kids/unpopular kids, its a full range of characters with different viewpoints and personalities that many times clash. I find that when comparing the range of characters to the nine alignments (lawful good, chaotic neutral, neutral evil, etc), you can find at least one character that fits into one of the alignments, creating an interesting dynamic throughout the group and storyline.

The story was all together interesting and entertaining to watch. While they give you clues throughout the episodes about what may have happened to them the last episode leaves you with even more questions. I am certainly eager to know what happens and hope that it does get a second season.

All in all, if you're looking for something entertaining with a dash of mystery, definitely give it a watch. However, if you're not at all a fan of shows with a primarily teenage cast and that is a show ruiner for you, skip it.
