The Society is an American mystery teen drama television series created by Christopher Keyser, that was released via streaming on Netflix on May 10, 2019. It stars Kathryn Newton, Gideon Adlon, Sean Berdy, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Jacques Colimon, Olivia DeJonge, Alex Fitzalan, Kristine Froseth, Jose Julian, Alexander MacNicoll, Toby Wallace and Rachel Keller. Although it was initially renewed for a second season, it was ultimately canceled after one season as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Society follows the story of a group of teenagers who must learn to run their own community after the rest of the population of their town (West Ham, Connecticut) disappears. The mystery begins when the students of the local high school return early from a canceled field trip and find that everyone else is gone. A dense forest appears surrounding the town; the outside world apparently no longer exists and cannot be contacted by telephone or Internet. The teenagers must come up with their own rules to survive with limited resources.
The group of students of the Connecticut high school were kidnapped to a town that is exactly the same town they were living before with one difference, their parents disappeared. The town was completely empty.
There they learn how to live together and after face the death of Cassandra, the first ruler, they create their own law. Allie, her sister start to rule and in the end her rivals take the power by force.
One of the suspects is this bus driver below.
In the end of the movie shows that they found a suitable land to cultivate and one of their parents reading Peter Pan for some children with their names in the wall, like they were dead. I believe they did this to their own good, to create a new society.
Has some interesting topics to observe such as abusive relationships, how to start a democratic society, and the insurgence of Anarchy.
