THE SOCIETY
STARRING: Kathryn Newton, Rachel Keller
A cross between Lord of the Flies and Wayward Pines, this 10-part series has an intriguing premise – a group of high schoolers on a 10-day class trip returns home hours later to find all the town’s other inhabitants missing and every exit blocked. Where has everyone gone? Is this even their town or a replica? What happened to that terrible smell everyone was complaining about? Will this series succeed where others have failed and come up with satisfactory answers to its myriad questions? When not preoccupied with its central mystery, The Society indulges in plenty of teen angst – unsurprising given it is the work of Party of Five creator Christopher Keyser. (On Netflix from Fri., May 10)
