cannibal schoolgirls and secrets
A high school girls soccer team is flying to Nationals but crashes in the middle of a wooded area. 25 years later, the survivors return to remember the dark secrets that they thought were well kept.
The adult cast is monopolized by the 90s universe: Melanie Lynskey (HEAVENLY CREATURES, TWO AND HALF MEN), Christina Ricci (ADDAMS FAMILY, CASPER, SLEEPY HOLLOW) and Juliette Lewis (CAPE FEAR, NATURAL BORN KILLERS) who are joined by Tawny Cypress (HEROES, THE BLACKLIST), they play the survivors who 25 years after coming back to relive their secrets, because nobody has a clean ass here.
What is clear is that something happened there, somehow they survived more than a year and a half in the middle of impregnable forests and with little it is assumed that they sent the great VIVEN but in a slightly more sectarian way.
The series alternates two temporalities: 1996, the year of the accident and with the characters in their adolescence in high school, and 2021, when the anniversary of the tragedy is celebrated and mysterious postcards that reach everyone and an alleged suicide bring them the dark memories that they believed buried by a pact of silence and the years.
The young cast includes Ella Purnell (ARMY OF THE DEAD, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children), Sophie Nélisse (THE BOOK THIEF), Sophie Thatcher (THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT, PROSPECT), Jasmin Savoy Brown (SCREAM 2022, THE LEFTOVERS) and Liv Hewson (SANTA CLARITA DIET) among the best known.
The combination of survival + mystery + horror + sense of humor + good characters, with ingredients with some LOST, some LORD OF THE FLIES, some ALIVE! And the student-oriented adolescent narrative, but with a touch of gore, led Stephen King to award it as the best series of the year.
Far but sooo far the best is Ricci playing Misty, that raving madwoman but who ends up causing tenderness, followed by Lynskey who fits right into Shauna's skin, the chubby girl who never raises her voice and is impassive even when she has to dismember a corpse, finally Lewis who, emaciated and wrinkled as he is, suits Natalie, a recovering drug addict who drives a Porsche with a shotgun in the trunk.
Luckily they have already renewed for the 2nd season because they do not expect answers to all the questions raised in these first 10 episodes.
