I must admit I slightly agree with how people are rating this show. Mainly in the sense that I probably enjoyed this show as much as the next person, but I still believe it is ranked much to high. Anyway now for the plot. A group of friends head home late from playing games. And wake up the next morning only to find that their friend William has gone missing. The local sheriff begins to investigate and he begins to firmly believe that the government has something to do with it. The characters are so well executed m, which is probably why I couldn't help, but watch all 8 episodes in the span of 20 hours. From the main character to each and every supporting character, they were pulled off incredibly well and each characters screen time is not wasted at all. They all have some reason to be talking and not to just increase the length of the show. I think what has made this show so love able by everyone is because it has characters from literally every age bracket except elderly. This allows a much wider audience than your typical teenage drama series. Hats off to Netflix for making yet another stellar Television series. Also the hardcore horror movie fans might enjoy this because it has some similar properties to a great horror movie known as "Insidious" I mean with the whole parallel universe and stuff. Along with a solid ass plot with some originality and some inspirational scenes involving telekinesis powers and a wicked ass soundtrack that resembles one of "Tron Legacy". Also the length of the show is perfect. The only thing that I think I disliked about the show was that nothing was doing extremely well. Nonetheless My friends and I enjoyed this and I'm sure anyone who watches it will as well. |
