Even Heather (Olivia welch), the protagonist who attends the last year of high school, decides to participate in the “game” Panic to win the cash prize and change his life and thus decide his own future.
In the game there is only one rule to respect: Do not panic.
Despite some flaws, Panic touches in an interesting way many aspects, like friendship, love and family, characterizing each character, showing their fragility, their weaknesses but also their strengths, like the desire to redeem themselves and self-determination. .
The narrative, however, is both very straightforward and certainly not lacking in flaws.

3) Homeland Fort Salem
Mother land: Fort salem takes place in a world dominated by women, here the United States ended the persecution against witches 300 years before the history we know, thanks to the Accord of Salem, a document which, in exchange for peace, obliges all witches to perform military service for their country.

The main weapon that young witches possess is their voice, modulated according to the ‘Seed’ (the equivalent of a spell) they intend to use. The series’ choice to use the voice as a weapon to combat evil undoubtedly contains a deep meaning and a message of female emancipation.
Mother land: Fort salem therefore represents a feminist and progressive reinterpretation of history, indeed here it is thanks to the witches that the USA becomes a great power, with a black woman as president.

Once they move out, however, family life only gets worse, the house seems to harbor strange presences, and the new neighbors are racist, showing themselves to be disgusted by the Emories’ skin color.
In its ten episodes, Them manages to kidnap and theorize the viewer, turning out to be a respectable horror product, playing on a constant rise in tension, a bit of sadism, and even a few jumpscare.
The series often plays by not spelling out what’s real and what isn’t, in order to create a clearer but perhaps a little hasty ending.

Conceived by Raphael Bob-Waksberg And Kate purdy, respectively creator and screenwriter of BoJack Rider, Fact is one of the series that perhaps deserves a mention above all for its raw depth and strong emotional impact.
Fact it starts out as a dramatic story and then gets more psychological and science fiction, without giving too many answers and explanations, but leaving the viewer free to interpret the story.
