The Van

Nice character writing and good sound visualizations

This show is fun and has interesting characters. The plot twists genuinely surprised me and it was interesting. Lowkey has the vibe of a young adult novel but that’s ok. Sometimes that’s what you need

What if you came across a van traveling across the country with a three teenagers who all had superpowers? What if their "parent" was someone with a short fuse who doesn't really seem to care that much for them? How are they getting food? Paying for stuff? Where are they going? The Van draws you in right from the start and doesn't let go until the season finale. Come journey along with these teens who will be teens but also can do stuff like know your feelings, make you go to sleep, and much more.

The Van is just beautiful in every way, tugging at your heart. They're kids with super powers, but also kids struggling to survive, with the problems and complex emotions of childhood. The show is a marriage of neglect and poetry and survival. There is something raw in each character, something painful but sweet each time they speak. It draws you in. There's mysterious plot points you want to see resolve, but also you're rooting for these kids. I want them to have a happy ending. Do yourself a favor and listen to this show. I couldn't recommend it more.
