I think at times the villain was a bit cartoonish but for this genre, it makes sense.
Questions I still have that weren't completely answered:
Who stopped Devon's suicide attempt? Like I don't think they actually said What happened with the original headmaster? Like was he in on it, or was he against it so they got rid of him? Chi should have just gone to the police straight after the accident. Like I get that it would have been implicating her friend and everything but I feel like the smart thing is to tell the police and if it was real, get leniency for age. Kids, if this happens to you, tell the police straight away because hiding a crime is way worse than the actual crime. It was implied that Chi was assaulted but then it feels like it was kind of dropped? Like what happened with that? Not a question but I think it would have been good if the revelation of previous victims had been teased a bit more. Like when Terrell first mentioned that they the only black kids, he could start looking into if they're the first and maybe find some names but they lose the trail and then they can find the yearbooks and know they disappeared. Feel like that would have felt more like a conspiracy that way.
But honestly, really loved it. Not perfect but did what it was doing really well. Snaps all round.
