An interesting story about a strange boy "He" is a three-part drama about an unnamed (his name is not mentioned at all) 17-year-old boy trapped between divorced parents who struggles with transition, poor grades and feelings he can't control. And besides the usual problems of teenagers, He must learn to wield the supernatural power inherited from his grandfather.
This wonderful drama focuses on the main themes of life: the painful breakdown of a relationship, love, loss, betrayal and passion – all this is here. It shows the period of growing up of the main character, the turning point when he tries to remain himself and control his supernatural power.
However, the guy on the screen is generally quite difficult to take for a 17-year-old boy, because it seems that this is just a child of 14-15 years of his behavior, manifestation of emotions and appearance. And the interaction of the father and stepmother with the main character does not seem natural, as well as the lack of social tension in the school, which could be, given the moroseness, detachment of the hero. Only with the appearance of the half-sister Faith, who is the narrator, the story takes on colors. It is from this moment that the series attracts, leaving no doubt whether it is worth continuing to watch.
This series is shot at the junction of several genres: horror, psychological drama, a life story in the form of introspection, which somewhat complicates the perception. And some clichés spoil the impression: adolescence, family problems, fear of their own abilities, a doctor eager for recognition at all costs (this episode hardly fits into the smooth course of the whole series and seems pointless). But despite this, the history and its implementation are interesting and worth watching for the sake of diversity.
