Season 1 Review:
A bit like The 100 meets The Leftovers, with a bit of Under the Dome thrown in for good measure, The Society is one part dystopian, political drama and one part existential examination of whether life's hardships are retribution from a higher power or just an inescapable consequence of living.

Season 1 Review:
“The Society” rarely takes shortcuts while the teens figure out what it means to build a community from the ground up, and what the dynamics of their old world mean in this new one. Much of the series’ best material comes when the characters have to confront their privilege or lack thereof. ... Few of the characters register as particularly compelling beyond their loglines; not even the aforementioned time jump, usually a storytelling device meant to shake things up, does all that much to meaningfully shift anyone’s particular arc.

Season 1 Review:
The Society is not especially fresh and it's clumsy and clunky in a number of frustrating ways, but it's also occasionally thoughtful and perceptive and, as it progresses, it builds moral quandaries and tension well. Throw in a flawed-but-solid cast and by the end of the season, I was ready for more.

Season 1 Review:
It’s easy to sneer at The Society, awash as it is in teen-series melodrama and a perpetually unsatisfying central mystery that only truly serves as a high-concept hook, but there’s something oddly seductive about the show as it comes into its own – the kind of series you only realise around its midpoint you’ve become unexpectedly invested in. Just as long as you don’t think too hard about it.

Such a riveting plot that really pulls you in. The Society is thought provoking and thrilling and leaves you wanting more. The acting is fabulous across the board. It’s one the only show that I’ve ever watched twice in a two week time span and still can’t wait for more. Definitely recommend!

Interesting mystery and just the right amount of drama and political views. Makes you curious from episodes to episodes.

This show is really good so far and I believe it will get even better! It’s worth checking out! It makes you think what if you’re parents just disappear and just teenagers are left alone in a small town In MA?! I give this show 5 stars!

The scifi premise was interesting, if derivative. But the whole thing reeks of social engineering: all the bad guys are white males, the good guys are women, non-white males and the disabled (deaf). On top of that, the lead woman is sanctimonious and irritating.
