All episode titles are from songs by heavy metal/hard rock bands
Chronology
Follows a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts who use the town's sudden interest in the occult to start a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a strange series of events triggers a witch hunt that leads back to them.. 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 Macabre by Ghost..
It turned out to be a teen drama best suited for the likes of MTV
I went in to this completely blind, and my first impressions was that it was going to be a dark comedy and satire from the 1980's satanic panic. Once again, it's another 80s throwback where most of the cast look like they're out of 2024 cosplaying 80s characters and getting it all wrong.
The not so subtle ending really ruined what could have been an amazing wrap up
The story lines are all over the place but they do come together for the most part. I binged watched this in one day and it very well much could have been a 2 hr movie.
It's definitely a one and done with no rewatchability
I can't really recommend the show, but it wasn't bad. They really missed the mark on just how funny the satanic panic was in the 80s when we all knew it was bs..
