Summary

You probably read the Lord of the Flie s in high school — and now you can watch it on Netflix. It follows a bunch of British schoolboys who get stranded on a deserted island and descend into violent tribalism. Lord of the Flies is made by one of the creators of the Emmy-winning Adolescence , another grim meditation on youth and violence and masculinity.
