The Order Season 1 is a young adult fantasy/horror series available on Netflix. The series was developed by Dennis Heaton and stars Jake Manley and Sarah Grey, as well as Matt Frewer, Max Martini as well as Louriza Tronco. Manley portrays Jack Morton. Jack is enrolled in Belgrave University, a college that is run by a clandestine, cult-like group of magicians known as The Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose (mostly referred to as the Order). Through a series challenges, Jack attempts to become an acolyte of the Order under the guidance of his mentor Alyssa Drake, portrayed by Gray. However, when werewolves start appearing on campus, Jack finds himself stuck in a war between the werewolves and spellcasters. While the plot is fascinating, I don't believe it's fully realized in the first season. The structure of the episodes is extremely slow, and it feels like chapters in a book in contrast to individual episodes that are interesting on their own. Each episode is dedicated to a particular goal such as being introduced, or starting to learn the art of magic, however it takes a considerable amount of time, over half the series, for the momentum to catch up. The audience may be tired at this time. The second half of the season begins and is more interesting with some surprises I didn't anticipate. Episode 6 is the beginning of one of the most enjoyable aspects of the show, and the turning point for the entire series. It's not just because it's the first episode to introduce excitement and action, but it's the first time we've seen the chance to witness a scene that's scary and frightening. It's just disappointing that it took so time to reach this point.
