This is a non-spoiler review for all 10 episodes of The Society, which premieres Friday, May 10 on Netflix.
It’s hard to pinpoint which Netflix Originals are going to catch fire and become a one or two week buzz with the streaming crowd, but if you’re a fan of The CW’s The 100 or William Golding’s Lord of the Flies – or even if you just wished CBS’ Under the Dome was good – then The Society is the new “teenagers forced to make really dark and difficult choices” show for you.
Produced by Amazing Spider-Man’s Marc Webb and created by Party of Five’s Christopher Keyser, The Society is part Lost, part Kid Nation, and all disturbing. Admittedly, it has a clunky couple of intro episodes, and from time to time the stale small-town setting can create a feeling of monotony and bloat, but inside it all is a sinister look at what human beings will do when forced to create their own community from scratch.
