Alone
Mentioned once across 1 show · first heard Mar 2026 on Good Hang with Amy Poehler.
The general take
Amy Poehler and her guest thought Alone was incredible and a fantastic watch during COVID, praising it as a show worth binging through many seasons. They noted it's available on multiple platforms including Netflix, National Geographic, and the History Channel. The enthusiasm here is pretty unqualified—they seem to have genuinely loved working through a large chunk of the series.
About
A New York Times bestseller! Perfect for fans of Hatchet and the I Survived series, this “riveting, immersive” ( Kirkus Reviews ) middle grade debut novel in verse from a Pushcart Prize–nominated poet tells the story of a young girl who wakes up one day to find herself utterly alone in her small Colorado town. When twelve-year-old Maddie hatches a scheme for a secret sleepover with her two best friends, she ends up waking up to a nightmare. She’s alone—left behind in a town that has been mysteriously evacuated and abandoned. With no one to rely on, no power, and no working phone lines or internet access, Maddie slowly learns to survive on her own. Her only companions are a Rottweiler named George and all the books she can read. After a rough start, Maddie learns to trust her own ingenuity and invents clever ways to survive in a place that has been deserted and forgotten.
