Review of Between

Between (2015–2016)
6/10
YA sci-fi TV
12 March 2019
The town of Pretty Lake has a population of eight thousand. Something is killing anyone over 22. In a few days, the town is quarantined by the military and soon all the adults are dead. Wiley (Jennette McCurdy) is a pregnant teen. Melissa is her religious sister. Her friend Adam is the smart kid accepted into MIT. Chuck Lott is the entitled rich kid. He clashes with the Creeker brothers, Pat and troublemaker Ronnie. Gord signed up with the military but is left with little sister Frances after his grandfather's death. Mark is a prisoner who finds himself the sole survivor.

This is basically trying to be a YA sci-fi TV show. It's one way to get hot young teens into one spot. Like the others, the premise gets a bit wonky. The arbitrary age of twenty two seems way too arbitrary. Otherwise, there is a bit of YA fun with this weak Under the Dome premise. This Netflix show was able to get two short seasons. I doubt there are more coming. It kinda runs out of steam as it gets closer to the outside world.
