After the virus kills all adults (yes, this plot was written before the covid), suddenly there are only kids alive. This series is based on the book of the innovative Italian writer\director Ammoniti (see his The Miracle - excellent show!). I found this dark and raw tale quite original, something unseen before. I would say it is a mix of Midsommar and the Lord of the Flies. Because the immagined world of uneducated kids is very cruel, full of mistery and fear mixed with desperate wish to live. Excellent acting and SUPERB production design (really incredible). The weak part is many goofs which make the story bit fake - like the girl has her arm cut by other kids, but she is ok without any serious treatment. And there are just TOO MANY flashbacks serving as the background story. I would prefer more linear story here. It would be more frightening and not so dotted. But anyways, a must see!!!
