The Rising (2022)
8/10
This is what a teenage drama should be. I'm looking at you The CW.

This is a supernatural drama involving teenagers like many other being done nowadays but, and this is a very big but, well done.

The leading actress gives a really good performance, you can emphasize with her whole journey, and most of the rest of the lead cast was appropriate. With their ups and downs, obviously, but nothing that was annoying. At least to me and the wife.

Despite involving teenagers, there are very few moments where characters decide to make something completely stupid or acting all hysteric because of some lazy writing. You better learn The CW.

The story is quite good, and neither my wife nor me could guess the real murder until it was revealed. That was a nice bonus since in this type of shows generally you can guess the murderer way before the writers intended and the """"clever"""" ways they use to hide that became annoying.

The lead character's new relationship, both of the detectives involved in the investigation and the ending are sure to upset some people because of what involves, but, I hope, for the majority will be alright and a reasonable ending. Just ignore the crying babies.

Finally, because maybe it wasn't so obvious during my review, this is how to make an interesting teenage supernatural drama The CW. Hope you learn.
