WOW
I have never been as invested in a show that I have with Netflix's new original series "The Innocents". I found myself jumping out of my chair screaming at the TV and not being able to sit back down or stand still by the end of the show.
We all know that Netflix produces some incredible content when it comes to its original series. Yet again they do not disappoint with this fresh and original television series.
The two main characters start with writing each other love letters back and forth even though they go to the same school. They decide to run away from their overprotective parents and drive off into the night. On the way a couple of what seem to be kidnappers come and try to take June, the main protagonist, away.
She gets away by knocking out the kidnapper and running away. Once they get to the hotel she is worried about guilt and wants to go back and check on the kidnapper so she sneaks out. Her lover, Harry is awoken by a knocking on the door by the kidnapper! This is a surprise, but the kidnapper claims to be June.
Obviously, Harry doesn't believe this deranged man and tries to run away. Once the man tells Harry some information only June would know the audience then understands that it somehow is June. Then there is a scene wherein the mirror we can see June in the reflection, but she is still stuck inside this mans body.
We find out that she has the power to shape shift. This pretty much means whoever she touches while having a certain emotion, her trigger is fear, she becomes them and they are put in a coma sort of state.
She doesn't understand how to harness her power and throughout the show, she is struggling with it.
The power also makes her question her own identity, relationship, and background.
The show introduces us to several other "shifters" along the way.
I don't want to give too much else away, but if this small description sounds interesting to you and you like the idea of a drama with a sci-fi twist then this is the show for you.
