      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      An intriguing tangle of mystery and melodrama, what The Society lacks in levity -- and at times clarity -- it makes up for with its surprisingly thoughtful exploration of community, culture, and what it means to grow up. Read critic reviews

        Truly awful. The plot is old and tired having been done in many series already. The so called teen actors all look 30 plus and they cant act.
      • Nov 28, 2022
        The acting was beyond bad. Not a single likable character in the whole show. I true pain to watch.
      • Oct 04, 2022
        Started out so promising until episode 3 where it showed it's true colours. Just another political show pushing it's woke agenda. Enough is enough already. I miss the days when we focused on making a good show rather than personal political views.

        I am mad it left on a cliffhanger. I think I would've been less angry if Netflix didn't already confirm a second season before canceling due to covid. It gave me false hope :').
      • May 26, 2022
        THIS IS DEF MY FAV SHOW!!! I will forever be disappointed that they canceled the society. I mean they even put out a post saying that they were going to make a season 2, then they just cancelled it and never put out the season we would all deeply enjoy?? Whatever tho, all I can say is its amazing, BUT if you don't like being left on cliffhangers with shows and knowing you'll never find out more, I don't really know what to tell you. I mean I guess check it out. I was so mad for like 3 months because none the many many many questions I had could be confirmed nor denied. WHATEVSSSSSSSSSSS I LOVE THE SOCIETYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

        THE SOCIETY NEEDS A SEASON TWO! The Society stands alone as an excellent and amazing series. It tackles sensitive topics like physical and mental illness head-on while twisting the traditional survival of the fittest. It carries a lot of weight. What did I enjoy about the series? How it relates to me as a teenager. Other shows tend to glamourize life as a teenager. For the most part, this one was relatable. Although at some points, things were unrealistic. A prime example is the actors who are in their early to late 20s. In general, it was entertaining and fun to watch. The show delivers a spin on the literary classic "Lord of The Flies." This makes it interesting for viewers since it's a Netflix series and brings this concept into 2019. Another thing, the show intrigued me so much, because I love mystery and dystopian! It's also really really tear-jerking! Without spoiling too much, at some moments it's really emotional. Of course, since they have to set down new order after the chaos ensues, there's bound to be some fighting and a lot of the moments are either tear-jerking or just plain emotional. Individually, the characters are so complex and that's why the fighting (verbal, physical, or all-out street warfare) is so deep. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! At one point, a character poisons another. Something about that moment just makes me super sad. When you watch, you'll find out why they do that and it's really... really emotional. Anyways, all-in-all, it was really good and I'd recommend it to any teenage friends. Some things could've been improved of course, but it was a great series. I wish we could've gotten to see more of these characters in a season two, but alas c'est la vie.

        Can't believe they cancelled this instead of Emily in Paris

        A magnificent tale about the inner workings of society and growing up, The Society is one of those rare phenomenal shows that gets you craving for more. What it lacks in flashy visuals and mediocre acting from some, it makes up in beautiful storytelling and realistic, superb chemistry. All you can do is marvel at the heart touching scenarios that play out, whether it's drama between family members or horrific actions done by people out of desperation, it's all flawless and perfect. I still can't decide what my favorite aspect was; The realism behind the actions of characters and how others respond to those actions, how it explores a plethora of deep and existential themes in an incredible and thought-provoking way, the truly sensational acting performances delivered by Allie (Kathryn Newton) and Harry (Alex Fitzalan) or how it makes you think about what you would do in such a scenario. It's truly wonderful to see how the brilliant minds behind The Society could turn such a simple premise into an exemplary and high-minded show like this. It's truly tragic that it was cancelled before it could ever take off.

        i really am enjoying this show, but i am hoping that they are able to do a season 2 for sure some day!
      • Jul 08, 2021
        I will never stop being angry this show got cancelled. This will forever be one of my favorites and I will always go back and rewatch it wondering what would have happened if we weren't so brutally robbed by the industry. This show is amazing and has wonderful representation of various different communities and has abuse awareness as well as teen pregnancy. this is the show everyone should watch.
