What can I say, I'm a sucker for Joey King.  "Uglies" is new on Netflix, adapted from a YA sci fi series.  It's dystopian masquerading as utopian.  A bit goofy, not exactly good, but it was watchable anyway.  Joey playing a teen on the cusp of turning 16 is a stretch to say the least, she's mid 20s.  Basic premise, everyone leads a fairly drab existence just biding time til they turn 16.  Then they get radical surgery that transforms them to physical perfection and they get to move across the river to the cool side of the city where it's literally a non stop party every day.  There are a few people who reject the system and live outside the city in the wilderness.  There might be something insidious going on in the utopia.  Complete non ending, but it's a 4 part book series, so obviously Netlix intends to make more of these.

Joey is right there w/ Millie Bobby Brown as far as having almost an entire career composed of making Netflix content.
