    The premise is interesting, if derivative. But the whole show reeks of social engineering. All the bad guys are white males and the good guys are women, non-white males and disabled people. The lead woman is particularly self-righteous and irritating.

    It’s easy to sneer at The Society, awash as it is in teen-series melodrama and a perpetually unsatisfying central mystery that only truly serves as a high-concept hook, but there’s something oddly seductive about the show as it comes into its own – the kind of series you only realise around its midpoint you’ve become unexpectedly invested in. Just as long as you don’t think too hard about it.

    A brilliantly average, perfectly imperfect show for bouncing teens, cankered fortysomethings and nothing in between.

    There’s an irrepressible optimism to this guilty-pleasure watch.
