Snippet:
The new Netflix adaptation of Lord Of The Flies, written by Jack Thorne (Adolescence) for the BBC and Stan, is the first television adaptation of William Golding’s 1954 novel. There were also film versions in 1963 and 1990, but Thorne has gotten four hours to explore Golding’s complex story.
