The Body
Created by Quinn Shephard
On Netflix
A psychodramatic coming-of-age thriller about Catholic schoolgirl dancers whose failed ritual triggers mass hysteria, exploring repressed desire and collective delusion through a small-town lens.
Sometimes, when you're a Catholic school dance troupe, your latest group initiation goes sideways. Maybe that means your choreographer dropped all the communion wafers on the floor, but for the girls of the coming-of-age drama "The Body", the results are a little more complicated. Their ritual-gone-wrong leads to a mass frenzy that engulfs an entire community.
