This series was about a bunch of teenagers stuck in a parallel world without any adults, an interesting concept but then had pacing problems and character arcs. As a movie, high-concept plots could have had the mystery and tension unfold without being bogged down by filler content. A movie would have been able to do the same but in a more concentrated manner with power struggles, survival, and emotional breakdowns and would wrap up the story to leave audiences satisfied without dragging out the plot.
