Just finished watching the first season. Pretty good show, actually, and i'm looking foward the next season.
Altough it is a teen drama series, the ammount of agenda themes isn't that much, just enough to fill the selling point quota.
That said, i've noticed some topics regarding mk-ultra and trauma-based mind control, so naturally, the next few topics will be spoilerific.
Spoilers ahead:
1. Handlers:
The show is about a group of girls that end up stranded in a deserted island. Except this is no accident and they are hand picked girls chosen to be part of a social experiment to prove that women can lead up a better society than men. To steer the experiment in the right direction there are two handlers (called agents and infiltrated in the brazilian dub) that were supossed to guarantee minimum security to the participants, rely information to the experimenters and low key tip the group with ideas to lead the next "phases" of the experiment. One of the handlers dies before coming to the island, but she has a backpack loaded with different kinds of drugs.
2. Disassociation:
One of the characters, Shelby Goodkind, is a closeted devout christian. She is initially portraiyed as a happy go luck person, but the more she progresses in the story the more her mental health decays, up to the point that when she appears in the flashfoward talking to other handlers she has shaved her head and the psychologist handler straightfoward tells she is in a dissociative state, and wearing a black suit will make her talk (since she is a "good girl" she will respond better to authority). She spends the later half the first season constantly saying "i know who i am" and stuff like that.
3. Drugs
The island part is a flashback. In the real timeline the girls are kept in a underground facility where they are interviewed. The girls are suffering from mental abuse and they're constantly drugged, specially the supossed "main" character who has been drugged more times that I can count now.
Well, there are some other things but the text is too long now for my standards. I'll update some more when things get steam after the second season is released.
