Wiley Day (played by Disney darling Jennette McCurdy, star of "iCarly" and "Sam & Cat") has plans. The pregnant teen, daughter of a pastor in the town of Pretty Lake, intends to give up her baby and leave her small-town life behind forever. But when a mysterious virus starts claiming the lives of all the adults in town, the government-imposed quarantine means Wiley must stay put -- at least for now. As the living continue to struggle for survival, Wiley and her best friend, whose college plans are also in jeopardy because of the quarantine, know that the only way for them to escape is to try to find the source of the virus. "Between" is the first Canadian series to air on Netflix from its inception.

Critics Consensus

A poorly acted regurgitation of post-apocalyptic cliches, Between falls short of Netflix's other high quality offerings.

Most of the action in the opening episodes is familiar ensemble soap opera with conspiracy-theory embroidery. Go to Full Review Kevin P. Sullivan Entertainment Weekly 11/12/2015

Despite the intriguing premise, Between's writing winds up being as deadly as the show's virus-except this sickness affects viewers of all ages. Go to Full Review Chris Bennion Independent (UK) 06/02/2015
What is it that the adults of Pretty Lake are dying from? It's not excitement, that's for sure. Go to Full Review Poppy-Jay Palmer SciFiNow 07/20/2015

Unlike previous Netflix originals, this one doles out its episodes one per week, just like network TV. It's also different in that... well, I've already run out of what makes Between something special. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Oracle C 01/20/2025 By far THE worst acting I have ever seen in my life. I don't even have words..wtf See more Eliana V 04/28/2024 bad acting terrible lighting. sometimes you cant even see the actors cringey lines, the trope of main characters made no logical sense terrible medical facts ( i know thats not the main thing of the show but some of it is just common sense) weird tropes, ronnie saing one of the characters was just straight up random and out of line See more raul R 06/21/2023 Totally AWFUL. Bad scrip, bad accents, bad acting, just terrible. See more James F 06/09/2023 I am sorry to review and have to say that I believe this is a classic example of a good idea that was executed VERY poorly. Most of my criticism comes from the very wooden acting of Jennette McCurdy playing Wiley Day. I am by no means capable of doing the acting gigs but as a viewer her performance was a total distraction to the series itself. While Jesse Carere as Adam does a respectable job he simply cannot overcome the poor casting choices made. The IDEA and premise of the series is workable but this should be a lesson in proper casting for future shows. Just because someone is capable of playing a silly pre-teen / teen does NOT mean they are up to the task of taking on a serious more toothsome role. Sorry, but Jennette McCurdy was the giant albatross around the neck of this show. See more 01/28/2021 Great concept, but terrible writing. Seems as though just like the show is about what happens to children, children were the writers of the series. See more 01/04/2021 Omg, the acting in this show is terrible. Everyone's story is all over the place. Its so cringy I couldn't make it past 5ths episode See more Read all reviews
