    I thought it was pretty freaking great, I've been trying to find something to watch, and haven't found anything in a long time that kept me interested like this show does. It's a bit like The 100 but it's so much better, I lost interest in that show after the parents showed up.

    This series is good. not great but good. On the positive: the acting is good in most case, the plot is captivating enough and the cinematography is good. On the not so good: the drama is way over board and silly throughout the series, the "antagonists" are silly stereotype "bad people" with no other motivation then i'm bad because that is all I am. Worth the watch if your are in need ofThis series is good. not great but good. On the positive: the acting is good in most case, the plot is captivating enough and the cinematography is good.

    Interesting. Group of students get to some parallel universe kinda place and have no idea where the place which looks like home but with Missing parents and limited boundaries is. It's interesting how teens make political rules to survive and the crazy suspence that keeps going through out the series. Although, the relationship part could have been better.

    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.
