    Anyone start watching this yet?
    The Innocents, a YA romance with strange, grotesque, almost-X-Men like underpinnings, is an oddball blend of suffering and drama that picks up and gels as the season progresses. The story is immensely weird and off-putting at the get-go, but then I found myself, after crossing the halfway point, sucked into an over-arching mystery that had unfortunately obfuscated many of the initial beats early on.

    The Innocents takes a ton of patience, but at only 8 episodes, it's not long before viewers start being rewarded. The hook here is shapeshifting. Two teens in love in a dreary (or extra dreary) corner of England - Sorcha Groundsell's June and Percelle Ascott's Harry - decide to run off together, unaware that the strict and suffocating rules that June's father forces her to adhere to are due to the fact she's about to possibly exhibit the same supernatural abilities her mom possessed - the gift/curse of being able to transform into someone else.
    ...........

    The Verdict

    The Innocents kicks things off with some goofy and ghoulish things that seem like they should be played for laughs, but once the awkwardness of June's first fumblings are out of the way and the intrigue ramps up, it all smooths out and becomes quite sinister. The series can be heavy-handed at times, but you'll find yourself wanting to unravel the mystery and see how everything fits together.

    Just finished it. Too slow and, in the end, not really worth the wait.

    Yeah, I watched two and bailed out. Typical Netflix tripe - not enough story for the running time. I did like the two leads though and some of the photography was nice.

    The last two episodes were very good but the ending ruined it for me.
