I was stuck home today with a stomach bug and gave this a shot because, at seven 20-minute episodes, it wasn't a huge time investment.
Most of the show is pretty standard issue coming of age stuff, albeit well-written and well-executed.
But the reason to seek this show out is Sophia Lillis's central performance. She is phenomenal, as an alienated teen still grappling with her father's suicide a couple years prior, her fractured relationship with her mother, coming to terms with her sexuality, and -- oh, yes -- her emerging superpowers that seem straight out of a Stephen King novel.
