The Gist: At the same time we see Jack Morton( Jake Manley) reading that rejection letter, Vera Stone( Katharine Isabelle), the academy’s chancellor, argues for Jack’s admission, and makes it so via the power of some kind of magic; before his eyes, the rejection letter turns to an acceptance letter with a education.
Jack has provocation to get into the class of 2023; he and his forefather Peter( Matt Frewer) are looking to vengeance the death of Peter’s son/ Jack’s mama , at the hands of Jack’s father( Max Martini). Not only does Jack want to get into Belgrave, but he’s looking to join a secret society, the deep Order of the Blue Rose, that has been home to dignitaries good( Michelle Obama, Oprah) and bad( Mussolini, Oprah). Both Jack and Pete suppose that the fraternity is the key to the riddle behind Jack’s mama ’s death.
When he gets on lot, he gets into a fight with one of the people he sees with a blue rose in his hand, and he meets cute with Alyssa Drake( Sarah Grey) as he takes over her duties as a lot stint companion. But this is n’t just a budding lot love, as he finds out after he gets his own blue rose and thinks he hears a familiar voice behind a mask in the forestland.
One other thing is going on; two of the pledges — called “ neophytes ” — are violently killed, and it seems like Jack is suspected of the murders by Hayashi( Hiro Kanagawa), the original operative probing the case. But in a late- night graveyard session, Jack finds out what actually is killing people, but is n’t sure where it came from.
Our Take: The Order, created by Dennis Heaton( Ghost Wars) and Shelley Eriksen( Continuum), has got a lot going for it. It’s got the story of a working- class sprat insinuating the rich kiddies at a university’s most secret fraternity, and trying to master the wrong performances from within. It’s got a nice sense of humor — Jack is abducted by a frat before he indeed gets to his dorm room, and he rejects their preludes because he wants to join the Order of the Blue Rose. And there’s a delightful chemistry between Manley and Grey that will filter throughout the first season, as Jack inescapably makes his mark in the deep Order of the Blue Rose.
The show’s small budget unfortunately results in some painful- looking CGI and other scenes that are obviously shot a certain way because the plutocrat to make it more effective just was n’t there. And the characters of the dickhole rich kiddies, especially idiots like complexion( Dylan Playfair), an Order member hellbent on trying to keep Jack out, are enough much the same dickhole rich frat boy characters we ’ve seen since Animal House. But Frewer is, as you ’d anticipate, in fine form as Jack’s forefather, who seems to mix his thirst with vengeance with the right quantum of frivolity, and the overall pacing of the first occasion packed a lot in without leaving the bystander confused or exhausted, which is always a plus when you have to get in so important exposition in order to move forward.
Coitus and Skin: Nothing in the premiere. The occasion’s television- Mama standing is substantially for language.
Parting Shot: Jack runs out of the cemetery, leaving behind the satchel with the condiment that will cover him from the — wolf? monster? — that just attacked him.
Sleeper Star: Sam Trammell plays Eric Clarke, Jack’s ethics professor that seems to have a preternatural handle on people’s provocations when they talk about the lot deaths. We know he ’ll factor in further latterly.
