8/10
gone too soon
30 September 2020
Awkward small town girl Sydney Novak (Sophia Lillis) has her only friend Dina (Sofia Bryant), her little brother Liam, and her mother Maggie (Kathleen Rose Perkins). Her father committed suicide. Weird neighbor Stanley Barber (Wyatt Oleff) has a crush on her. Dina starts going out with the arrogant quarterback. Sydney has emotional issues, sexuality issues, and worst of all, she's developing superpowers.

This is a Netflix show with only one season. It got renewed for a second season but then canceled due to the pandemic. Lillis and Oleff reunite after It. Lillis is brilliant as the awkward teen. I love the Carrie motif. It's based on a comic book written by Charles Forsman who also wrote "The End of the F***ing World". Both shows have similar aesthetics. I love both shows. It's a real shame that this got taken down by the virus.
