Sucks to your ass-mar! It’s the adaptation that all of us AP English kids wanted when we were in high school, and shockingly the first for television. Adolescence co-creator Jack Thorne adapted Willian Golding’s iconic dystopian novel, Lord of the Flies, and it will be streaming on Netflix in the US on May 4.
When a group of English schoolboys crash-lands on a remote island, their attempts to survive are threatened by the darker side of human nature that takes over when society is absent and there are no rules. The boys, led by Ralph (Winston Sawyers) and supported by the group’s intellectual, Piggy (David McKenna), try to retain order despite their situation. However, Jack (Lox Pratt) challenges Ralph’s leadership, turning a tale of survival into a twisted tragedy.
