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.

...so i don't want to spoil anything-
but let me tell you, this show is definitely worth watching the characters are generally well written, the plot is compelling and on top of everything the camera shots are great
the only negative thing is that because of the cancellation there are A LOT of unanswered questions
yet the season is complete on its own

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

A concoction of hormonal impulses and moral dilemmas, it can be daffy and even a little dumb, but it has some thematic ambition, a talented cast, eventful episodes and a core mystery that may keep you hanging on through its 10-episode first season, even when you know the answers will be less interesting than the questions.

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.

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.

Is The Society a show about sort-of whiny privileged kids in an overfamiliar YA set up? Yes. Absolutely, there’s no denying that. But it’s a pretty damn good one, and the growing pains in the first season only make me excited to see where The Society will take us in the future.

To the credit of creator Christopher Keyser (“Party of Five”), the series plays with expectations. Relationships bloom and wither in surprising combinations. Unfortunately, the show lacks a pulse.

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!

This series renews my hatred of cliffhangers. I thought "Who shot JR" was crappy enough. "Society" sets a new low of respectability. The holes in the script were bad enough (glaring incredulity), but the end was reprehensible. Save your time and watch Homer Simpson reruns.

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.
