Mediocre drama, filmed in a slow indulgent disconnected dreamlike style, concerning non-binary teenager angst during coming of age.
The first series of 8 episodes has a poor ending, despite the apparent resolution.
Disciplined people or people who respect other people's property might loathe this stuff, because the protagonists appear to be feral, damaged and without respect for anyone or anything other than themselves and their whims.
Many of the adult characters are unsympathetic.
But behind this front are sensitive flakes trying to understand themselves and how they fit and how they relate to others, obsessing over intense relationships with their co-passengers. As an exploration of non binary folks it may help with understand these people.
If you have teenage children, you might recoil at many scenes, but in other scenes you may sympathize with the uncertainties, the ambiguities, the messiness and the insecurities that many people must navigate.
Made for HBO/Sky, it is an unusual choice for the BBC to make available in the UK during the Covid-19 lockdowns, possibly due to the lack of new content during the pandemic.
