It’s Heather who eventually becomes the main conduit for the story, as she tries to deal with multiple crushes, shifting friendships, a manipulative mother, and a part-time job on a nearby ranch. It doesn’t help that “Panic” is juggling an entire graduating class worth of potential winners, from Heather (Olivia Welch) trying to break free from a difficult home situation to Dodge (Mike Faist) the mysterious newcomer who tends to keep to himself to Ray (Ray Nicholson) the mop-topped, open-shirted permaflirt always bent on trying to cause a ruckus.

With all 10 episodes written by Lauren Oliver (who wrote the book the series is based on), each episode becomes like one of the Panic challenges: a tricky psychological balancing act that means far more to the people involved than the people watching. The reward - enough cash to fund a move to a new job or fall tuition or a life outside the city - is enough to entice dozens of players.īut maybe the hardest thing for “Panic” to center is the idea of just how many people are willing to risk anything short of (and maybe even including) potential manslaughter charges in order for the premise of this show to work. In “Panic,” the high schoolers in a small Texas town called Carp hold an annual secret contest where players endure a series of dangerous tasks. To keep one going like the one in the new Amazon Prime Video series “ Panic” means an impossibly concentrated effort on the part of just about everyone involved. The hard thing about town-wide conspiracies is that you need buy-in from a lot of people.
