Nowhere Boys, on Amazon Prime and Vudu, is an Australian teen supernatural drama about four boys who get lost in the woods on a school field trip, When they return, everything is different. A disabled brother can walk. A single mom is married. One boy doesn't seem to exist at all.With the help of various allies and love interests, they figure out that they have somehow become lost in a parallel world. It sounds like a science fiction premise, but it is actually supernatural. Getting home requires magical spells and fighting demons.
The four boys are:
1. Popular it-boy Sam (Rahart Adams).
2. Goth Felix (Dougie Baldwin)
4. Jock Jake (Matt Testro)
In Season 2 (2013-14), the boys discover that they can now control the four elements (air, water, fire, earth). Now they must travel between the two parallel worlds.
In Seasons 3 and 4, at least five years has passed -- one of the students is now a teacher, and the four original boys are the subject of a stage play.
This time several kids and their principal are zapped into Empty World, where all of the people have vanished (along with most of the food). The main group consists of:
6. Luke (Kamil Ellis), a science fiction nerd who keeps saying "This is just like that episode of Next Generation where Dr. Crusher..." He doesn't get a girlfriend.
7. Popular Heath (Joe Klocek, left)
It-girl Nicco
8. Drama queen Jesse (Jordie Race-Coldrey). He gets a boyfriend.
Not a lot of beefcake photos available. But everybody does't need to have their pecs and abs on display all the time. There's nothing wrong with looking the boy next door instead of a 28-year old fitness model. In fact, after a diet of Riverdale and its clones, it's a pleasant change of pace.
