Panic

If Degrassi and Fear Factor had a creepy love child who spent all their time sniffing glue, it would be this lob of shit. There's honestly a pretty interesting concept here. Unfortunately, it's terribly executed. For a bunch of kids who are constantly flirting with death, you'd never know by the cavalier writing, acting and tone. It's beyond absurd. This show severely talks down to its audience, but I guess the joke's on me since I watched the whole goddamn show. Insomnia sucks, and I am stupid.

As a whole this show is fairly good. It has a high stakes central premise which makes you invest in the characters and the outcome. It is heavy on the cheesy teen romance but does make certain characters you seem determined to hate likable in the end. It has mystery, intrigue, romance and well thought out personal family situations that tie back to the game of Panic. Its enjoyable and way more than I ever thought it could be. Kudos to Amazon for bringing this one to life.
