“We hear the wilderness and it hears us.”
This equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama tells the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later.

Reviews & Thoughts
I gave this TV show 7/10. I would give it more but Americans are pushing propaganda hard lately and this TV show didn't survive it either. Good things: * TV show has interesting story. * Has good soundtracks. * Has good character development. I like shows and movies like this - mystery especially tied to supernatural and cults. Bad things: * TV show starts with teens masturbating each other. After few minutes we see grown adult woman masturbating as well. If creators wanted to impress with such scenes, they failed miserably. Such scenes don't add anything valuable to story. Scenens like masturbating and sex aren't necessary and apparently creators don't understand this. It's just awkward & emberassing to watch. * Like I said this TV show didn't survive propaganda either. I'm sick and tired of watching political propaganda in American shows lately, but apparently they have agenda to push is as hard as possible. Well, they're not on a same level as Nazis during WWII, but they're quite close.
