If a nightmarish survival scenario, dual timelines, hints of the supernatural and a cast of fascinatingly complicated characters sounds like a fun time, you’re in for a treat. One of the best seasons of television I’ve seen in years just landed on Netflix and as far as I’m concerned, it’s a must-see TV series.first aired back in 2022 on Showtime where it quickly found a cult following thanks to its twisty-turny story and compelling cast.
In the first, the girls crash-land in a vast wilderness on their way to a soccer tournament. Here, they not only face starvation and the elements, but strange visions, creepy discoveries and other horrifying encounters which often leave both the characters and the audience wondering whether some supernatural forces are at play, or if there are more mundane explanations for all the bizarre things that happen. The mystery is compelling.
On top of this, the original score for the first season of the show is one of the most intense and haunting scores I’ve heard in a television show. Only Season 1 is out now on Netflix, and here’s where I have to throw in a pretty big caveat: The first season isbetter than the second, which remains on Showtime/Paramount+ though it will come to Netflix at a later date. Frankly, as a standalone season,is absolutely brilliant and one of my favorite modern TV shows. The second season wasn’t all bad, but it was nowhere near as good as the first, and it really felt like many aspects of the story fell apart rather spectacularly.
I still recommend you watch the first season and if you like it, you can always make up your own mind about Season 2. I’m still hopeful that Season 3 will get the series back on track, but no matter what I’ll always be a superfan of the first season, which I’ve already watched three times over. It’s one of the best female-led shows out there, in large part because it never engages in silly girlboss tropes and treats each of its characters like well-rounded human beings. It’s great.
