June McDaniel is learning that its tough being a teenager.
Like, we get it June.
Weve all been 16 before.
Okay, so June isnt your typical teen.
Welcome toThe Innocents, Netflixs new supernatural YA romance series.
If thats a phrase that makes you cringe, then this is definitely not the show for you.
Button up your best cardigan because weve got an episode to chat about.
Thats bad, right?
But then, it turns out that Ben is stopping this man from throwing himself over that cliff.
Okay, so … bad?
I dont know if thats bad or good but it is for sure not normal.
And if you werent already asking yourself, What is happening here?
the man shape-shifts into the blonde from the mirror.
This is Runa (Ingunn Beate yen) and she is a shape-shifter.
Ben would doanythingfor Runa.
Sure heseemsvery much in love and heseemslike hes helping Runa, but he also seems shady as all hell.
Jurys out on this guy.
John keeps a trim beard, rocks a tight Henley, and is very good at brooding.
So, not thebestdad.
Scenes like these always make me want to scream because, hello Mr. Poor June does not.
June is a quiet, sheltered girl who loves her brother and tolerates her fathers extreme rules.
She survives this lonely life only because she is madly in love with her classmate Harry.
This is true soul-mate level love.
Harry and June write each other adorable love letters that they hide in the school librarys World Atlas.
But most important to know about these two: They have plans to run away together.
His home life is less than ideal: Hes the main caregiver to his father (another beard!
), who seems to have some key in of dementia in which hes basically trapped in his head.
We just dont know what yet.
They kiss, several times!
that you just know its not going to last.
Harry is too good for this world.
Hes Steinar (Johannes Haukur Johannesson).
He wants to take June to her mother.
Harry and June make it to a nearby hotel and Harry is completely gutted.
I told you he was too good for this world!
It is clearly an awful idea.
Harry is horrified to see him, panicked over whats happened to June.
They fight until Steinar puts Harry in a headlock and forces him to look into a mirror.
Its me, Harry, he says.
Only Harry isnt looking at a reflection of Steinar its June who has him in a headlock.
Shes just shifted for the first time.
This is most definitely not the person he thought he was running away with.
But like June so innocently told him earlier, its too late now.
Sweater of the Episode goes to Elena and her chunky knit button-up cardigan.
The woman looks like shes been throughsome thingsbut also very cozy.
