It is a moody, misty drama that stays compelling even when it veers toward the obvious, with characters you care about even without knowing them well because they come across, most of them, as soulful even when they are not particularly nice.
As enticing as the shapeshifting is, it's the simplicity of June and Harry's authentic love for each other that makes The Innocents so dreamy.

Just when I was losing faith in "Netflix Originals", The Innocents drops. It's shot very well and the cinematography is great. The Innocents looks more like a film than a TV series. I was entertained right through to the end and the 4K HDR format is always appreciated. My only qualm is why they retain their reflection when the change is physical. Its a plot device that is never explained.

SEASON 1
It can be a little on the nose at times, and a few of the situations Harry and June get themselves into feel like distracting side stories--but it does offer up a unique blend of genres and influences. It’s John Green meets a more modern version of Jack Williamson’s Darker Than You Think, and for the majority of its first season it’s a compelling, moving contemplation of what it means to reckon with who you are.
The show is at its best when it does very sincere, persuasively performed versions of familiar genre themes.
At times, this lack of establishing a sense of place and motivation makes the series feel unmoored, but the action moves along rapidly all the way up to its last-minute sick twist.
At its core, this is a show sweetly more concerned with reaffirming the power lovers draw from one another than watching the world tear them apart in dramatic fashion. And even if what plot surrounds it is ultimately too shapeless to make you crave the too-eagerly teed-up second season, that’s an aim too refreshingly earnest not to embrace.
Like so much YA fiction, everything here is over-directed and over-written, allowing no room for the teen audience to interpret any deeper meaning. ... And it’s a particular shame that this is so frustrating because the young leads are charming and have solid chemistry. It’s the construction of everything around them--including a flat performance from the typically-solid Pearce--that lets them down.
Undeniably campy and mostly predictable don't slow this surprisingly fun and immersive first season down one bit. Somewhat forgettable and kitschy, this show is perfect for you if you're looking to check out of reality for a bit.

SEASON 1
Por muito mais que eu ame a história, a maneira como ela foi criada é muito superficial. Nenhuma mensagem profunda foi transmitida e tudo parece despretensioso. Continuei a ver a série para ver se melhorava, mas isso não aconteceu. A única coisa que eu admiro bastante em "The Innocents" é a fotografia, as paisagens que são exibidas e as músicas que se ouvem nos episódios.

SEASON 1
As much as I loved the idea of the story, the way it's been set up is extraordinary lame and superficial. No deeper messages to be transported and the plots are shallow. Still i kept loving the idea so i kept waiting for the change, only to be disappointed. Waste of money and time, thought lovely made. It's a disgrace to the actors, the pictures, the music and the landscapes. A photo story would have told a better story than watching how this one has been directed.

SEASON 1
This show started **** then began its descent into oversexed and perverse chaos like so many other recent short-lived series. There may be enough people devoted to such amoral trash to watch this one for a while, but if you want to see something to remind you of that which is good and worthwhile without garbage over and over again, avoid it.
