The Society is a 2019 Netflix original drama series that follows the story of a group of teenagers who suddenly find themselves alone in a strange, alternate universe version of their hometown. The show features an ensemble cast, including Kathryn Newton, Sean Berdy, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Olivia DeJonge, Kristine Froseth, Rachel Keller, Grace Victoria Cox, Jack Mulhern, Gideon Adlon, and Jacques Colimon.

In the town of West Ham, Connecticut, the teenagers are preparing to leave for a school trip when they are suddenly forced to return home due to a strange smell in the air. When they arrive, they discover that all of the adults and younger children have vanished without a trace. Cut off from the outside world and without any means of contacting the outside world, the teenagers are forced to band together and build a new society.

As they begin to explore their new world, the teens realize that everything is different. They suddenly have access to all of the town's resources - food, water, medicine - but they are also faced with new dangers and challenges. They must learn to farm, hunt, and govern themselves as they search for answers about their mysterious new world.

The Society is an intriguing mash-up of dystopian and teen drama genres. It explores the complexities of group dynamics, the challenges of leadership, and the importance of community. The show’s themes of power, corruption, class conflict, and morality are portrayed through excellent performances by the young cast.

Newton plays Allie, a pragmatic and intelligent young woman who rises to the occasion when the town’s mayor goes missing. Berdy plays Campbell, a deaf teenager who becomes a villainous force in the town's newly created bureaucracy. Bordizzo is Helena, the mayor's daughter, who initially struggles with the loss of her family's power dynamic. DeJonge plays Becca, a smart and responsible teenage mother who is a key player in the community. Froseth plays Kelly, the popular girl who struggles to find her place in the new society. Keller is Cassandra, Allie's older sister and the initial leader of the group. Cox plays Lexie, a social climber who wields her attractiveness to gain power. Mulhern is Grizz, the outsider who becomes an important member of the community. Adlon plays Becca's troubled boyfriend, Sam, and Colimon is Will, a farmhand who becomes a major player.

The Society creates a tense atmosphere as it explores themes of power, morality, and social order. The show's premise is fascinating, and the execution is extremely well done. The direction is superb, and the cinematography is gorgeous. The production values are high, and the show boasts top-notch writing and a memorable musical score.

Overall, The Society is an excellent series that is well worth watching. It manages to be both exciting and thoughtful, offering a compelling combination of dystopian and teen drama genres. The show addresses complex themes in a relatable and engaging way, and the performances by the young cast are outstanding. The Society is a must-watch for anyone who loves smart, thought-provoking television.
