5/10
It's like Hogwarts
3 November 2020
90% of children have died from a new disease leaving the survivors with special powers. The government have imprisoned them in camps and killed the most powerful ones. Ruby Daly managed to survive despite being powerful. It's six years later. Ruby is uncovered and Cate (Mandy Moore) helps her escape. Cate is a part of the League which is using the kids to fight the government. Ruby runs away and ends up with fellow kids with powers; Zu, Liam Stewart, and Chubs.

This seems to have been written by a high school student. It's silly to think that a dictatorial government would have any trouble finding a well marked van driving across a desolate country. It's silly to think that people would have a difficult time finding a spot on the radio dial. It makes the kids look stupid when they don't see the obvious traps. One has to overlook a lot. It's a sci-fi YA fantasy high school melodrama. Any actual drama is mostly accidental. The twist is foreseeable although the villain is a good turn. I actually like the villain but he is conveniently dumb at times. I do like the four kids on the road. I like the quartet. The rest falls flat.
