TLDR

Getting drugged and sent to a remote forest is not the first "high school experience" that comes to mind.

What it's about

Thirteen students are thrown into the mysterious life and lessons of a remote boarding school

The take

At Home School, the parents take the entrance exam before signing away their children's freedom to the staff of this prestigious boarding school. But the promise of an elite education becomes a nightmare when the students have to endure the school's unorthodox curriculum. Unlike her schoolmates, Maki enrolls through a scholarship, purposely applying to find her missing brother.

Joining the growing number of dark school dramas examining harsh societal norms in Thailand, Home School delivers mystery and suspense through the isolated, remote grounds of the school. In the first four episodes alone, the Headmaster's abstract rules, devious staff, and sinister punishments set up a promising series

What stands out

This series hits the ground running. The students are drugged and taken to a remote forest during orientation! A seemingly innocent assignment to look after ducklings quickly brings about factions, bullying, and sabotage while the teachers never intervene. Although they are sometimes annoyingly spoilt rich kids, the restrictive and manipulative teachers keep everything on edge. And so far, the scariest thing about their "hands-off" approach is the sly punishments they dole out. The purpose of the school is still unclear, but as secrets unfold, it's hard not to watch the next episode.
