COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Excellent Series submitted by ekrieger on July 2, 2019, 10:06pm This series is wonderfully entertaining, weird, relatable, and fun.

"Things are not what they seem in this small town" is an understatement, as there are many layers that come together in a surprisingly intricate way. The show is a little slow to start plot-wise as it has to introduce the characters, their relationships with one another, and the mysteries of the town, but picks up pretty quickly. The characters are unique and there's a nice amount of self-aware humor that adults will appreciate.

One thing I really like about this series is that it was always intended to be a succinct story, and the show's creator voluntarily chose to end it when it did because the brevity reflects the show itself - it's about the friends and memories made in one single summer, and it really captures that feeling. For reference, I'm 30 and have watched this series several times since it aired. It's one of my favorites!
