Lord Of The Flies (Netflix)

Anyone else watch this? 4 episode adaptation by the same writer who did Adolescence.

Harrowing AF.

I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes but it was in the middle of the day so I was having trouble concentrating. Is it worth a 2nd shot?

Well, I didn’t start a thread because I hated it.

Kidding, Russ. It might not be for everyone. It’s got its own sense of style, but it is FRACKED up and I think the kids they picked, especially Piggie and Jack are incredible.

And as much as it’s a timeless story about human nature, it’s definitely a story about the times we’re living in as well.

A little bit off topic, but curious to know if you are seeing what might be considered a renaissance in child acting? It just feels like it's gotten really good over the past decade or so. Before, you could count the "good" child actors on one hand, but there seems to be a dearth of them nowadays. Is the acting education for kids just that much better?

I will give it another go

I have noticed the same. There are some extremely talented kids in the business these days.

A plethora, perhaps?
