The series and its actors evoke a different spectrum of emotions. In some ways it scares, in some ways it irritates, but in general, I liked the plot, the characters too, it was interesting to follow the story, but of course the story is not finished, the application for the 2nd season. Something between Lost and True Detective, but obviously weaker Translated to English
Season 1
Watched
It is interesting to see this season (as the trailers promised) the transformation from ordinary teenagers to a community of cannibals. This episode shows another survivor, Lottie, who founded an entire commune in the present day. So far, nothing is clear. I’m waiting for the next episodes. Translated to English
Episode 1 (season 2) — "Friends, Romans, Countrymen"
Watched
I started watching, and my wife finished. I don’t see anything terrible, the girls wanted to eat, but there was no food … Translated to English

Watched
Cool girls. The bunch is still the same.🫡 A few cool twists in the last episode and the end doomed us to wait for the next season.🫀 Translated to English

Watched
Rated for idea and atmosphere. But the show was very disappointing! Such an intriguing start, a most interesting non-linear structure … Then an increasingly sluggish narrative and, as a result, a completely moronic ending like with a hook for the new season. Not a single question was answered. That’s not how it’s done. Translated to English

Watched
A double series – on the one hand, it is interesting to know how cute girls came to such a life and became cannibals, and even murderers. On the other hand, the everyday life of survivors 25 years later is often drawn to simply squander. Under the season finale, you understand how the survivors are finished women. Translated to English
