Overview

• All eight episodes are now streaming on Netflix following festival and special screenings earlier this month.
• Martin created the eight‑part limited series and stars as Alex Dempsey, a trans police officer in Tall Pines, opposite Collette as academy founder Evelyn Wade.
• Critics at the Guardian, the Independent and Time praised the tone and performances, and the series debuted around 87% on Rotten Tomatoes.
• The story draws on Martin’s years of research and a friend’s reform‑school experience, situating the drama in 2003 to heighten its small‑town and cult‑inflected atmosphere.
• Creators have described the finale as intentionally open‑ended, and they have expressed openness to continuing the story, though no further season is confirmed.
