The Husband and I are waiting for the new seasons of all our favorite series and have been searching for something worthy of our attention.
We found it with Panic, a new binge-worthy show you can watch on Amazon Prime Video.
We ripped through all 10 episodes in two nights and mourned a little when it was over.
Panic is based on a novel written by Lauren Oliver and has a Hunger Games sort of vibe with plenty of suspense and edge-of-your-seat thrills.
It’s billed as a series for young adults, but believe me when I say old people can enjoy it too.
It’s set in the small Texas town of Carp, where, every year, graduating seniors await the signal of a secret game – Panic.
Those who play face a series of dangerous challenges that will test their strength and ability to, well, not panic in the face of some pretty terrifying situations.
The winner gets a $50,000 cash prize and, with it, the chance to get out of that sleepy little town they call home.
It’s a thriller of a show intermingled with some interesting subplots that involve a sheriff’s office trying to stop the game, and of course, the obligatory blooming romances.
And here is a bonus: One of the main characters (Ray Hall) is played by Ray Nicholson (as in Jack’s son). He is a super fun character to watch with some genetically handed-down acting skills.
If you’re looking for something new to watch, Panic is your summer go-to.
I’m crossing my fingers for a second season.
Really enjoyed reading this review. The way you captured the suspense, storyline, and reasons behind the show’s appeal made it easy to understand why it has become such an interesting watch. I also came across a similar discussion on a Texas-based review blog sherway dentistry and it was interesting to see different perspectives on entertainment topics.
