The Tribe (1999)
Addictive, highly addictive!
I bought the complete series 1 on DVD just out of curiosity, never having heard about the show at all. Well, my player has only been off for sleeping since I have started watching. At first I thought that I had wasted my money, but after the first one or two hours I got hooked. I am watching episode 40 now, and already wish, I could go out and get the other 4. For someone who loved reading `The Lord of the Flies' many years ago (Yes, I am an adult .... Have been quite a while), this show not only brings back memories, but starts working on a multitude of levels. It is fun at times, but also a study in social systems of interaction and development. The visual style helps emerging into the world of The Tribes, the acting ranges from fair to superb, the plot meanders between shallow soap and quite intriguing complexity ... For me, every minute watching has been worthwhile!
