Scenario
Follow a struggling high school heavy metal band made up of outcasts who use the town’s sudden interest in the occult to build a reputation as a satanic metal band, until a strange series of events sets off a witch hunt that leads them back. Hysteria by Def Lepard, Heaven’s on Fire by KISS, Speaking in Tongues by Meatloaf, Can I Play with Madness by Iron Maiden, Die Young by Black Sabbath, Mother by Danzig, It’s Late by Queen and Dance Macabrea by Ghost.
It turned out to be a teen drama best suited for the likes of MTV
I went into it completely blind, and my first impression was that it would be a dark comedy and satire of the satanic panic of the 1980s. And again, it’s another throwback to the 80s, with most of the cast looking like they came from 2024, cosplaying characters from the 80s and doing everything wrong.
The stories are everywhere, but mostly they are connected
I watched it in one day and it could have been a two hour movie. The not-so-subtle finale really ruined what could have been a great ending.
I can’t recommend the show, but it was good
This is definitely done, with no chance of reconsideration. They really didn’t understand how ridiculous the satanic panic was in the 80’s when we all knew it was bullshit.
