Living in Europe, I have never heard of this story before. To be honest, this series is razther good, especially Gladstone's performance, as well as the teenagers actors and actresses.
To me, the main weakness is the main character, Rebecca. She's there, but at the same time, doesn't do much and seems distant. I don't know what's her role and interactions in the book, but in this series, she doesn't stand out much and her backstory is a bit conventional. I regret the artistic/direction that are a bit too bland, and that they didn't tell us what happened to the characters after this event, like it is often told in many series based on real-life events.
Apart from that, this is nicely written and done, and the 90's vibe is present but not too overwhelming. I especially liked the soundtrack.
