72 years after Lord of the Flies was published, the BBC has delivered a haunting and near-perfect adaptation. William Golding's 1954 novel famously tells the story of a group of British boys after a plane crash leaves them trapped on a tropical island. Their descent from order to violent chaos has been a staple of high school reading for decades. The initial premise, setting, and splitting into two opposing factions are also an enduring influence on pop culture, having helped shape the likes of Survivor, Lost, and Yellowjackets.
