Featured in MsMojo: Top 10 Netflix Original Shows for Teens (2020)
Plot
On an island of haves and have-nots, teenager John B enlists his best friends to hunt for a legendary treasure linked to his father’s disappearance. Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, and their «OBX» co-stars quiz each other on the best lines from their hit Netflix series. It was filmed in Charleston, South Carolina; it was originally supposed to be filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina. I love this show, but it can be very frustrating to watch at times.
He doesn’t look like a 16-year-old at all
The acting is decent, but as many others have pointed out, the casting is a bit ridiculous. The lead actor, who plays a 16-year-old, is almost 30 years old. All the actors playing the teenagers are too old for the roles they’re cast in, and that ruins the immersion a bit for me. Is it really that hard to find decent actors who at least look the age of the role they’re playing?
But that’s not the main problem
The high-level story is good, but the details are where this show falls apart. All the drama and tension is created by characters doing stupid things. The stupidity ranges from mild to incredibly thick, but that’s always what drives the drama. It’s hard to find likable characters when they’re constantly doing stupid things and never learning or growing.
And it’s not just the teenagers who are stupid
None of the cops follow procedure, because if they did, the story wouldn’t happen. Every time a character does something smart, they have to be destroyed by someone doing something incredibly stupid, because then, again, the story wouldn’t happen. I wish the writers spent a little more time trying to find different ways to move the story forward, maybe having the antagonists be smart instead of the heroes be stupid. I just finished the second season and I don’t regret watching it.

It’s pretty good, but it could have been a lot better. A new season of "Silo" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
