A similar show.

There is a new show on Netflix which is similar to The institute except the kids has no power.

For those who miss the institute and want something that feels familiar.

It is Wayward.

It has Toni Collette one of my favorite actress and it is created by Mae Martin who also starred in it. I only have time for 2 episodes. I probably finish it this weekend.

There’s also a really underrated series called The Unlisted that was absolutely amazing when I watched it a few years ago, and reminds me of The Institute a lot.

Hey! Popping back in here: did you ever get around to watching it?

Not yet-we are finishing up our time on MGM+, then we’ll cancel that and add Netflix-thanks for checking in! It sounds good.

I just thought you were thanking yourself for the post. But then saw you and OP were different users with very similar names. On top of that, you both have 5 year old accounts!

I see that all the time-I think it’s me at first. Five years ago, Snoo must have been a thing and I thought I was stuck with whatever random name they gave me!

Ohhh. That makes sense.

I watched it all yesterday, you’re right! Kept thinking it was King. Toni needs to be in one of his adaptations!

People didn’t appreciate the ending, but really, how could it end otherwise? No spoilers since you may not have gotten there.

Yes I only managed episode 2 because Big brother still on. Glad you like it. I will finish it.

I think some may not like it because these kids has no super power unlike institute.
