The Society

Some reviews are so harsh when really, this show exceeded my expectations. Sometimes it gets a bit big for its boots with the political/philosophical commentary but all in all most of the story lines and characters are pretty engaging.

This show was wicked good and I haven't seen one like it. I was so looking forward to the second season before Netflix changed their minds and decided to just cancel it cus of covid. It sucks viewers will never have real answers after that ending. Covid or no covid, Netflix always manages to cancel good shows.

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 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.

A bit soapy but it holds your attention especially after episode three. Like I said in the headline it's like if the show the 100 meets the novel the Lord of the Flies.
