Minus the fantastical powers, we have very similar color palettes, filming techniques, story progression and overall vibe to both shows. Troubled teens compensating for their families difficulties in whatever way they perceive to be fit, navigating what they know of the world around them. Their narrow view of the world expands as events they experience quickly make that world more and more dangerous. High school dynamics, bullying and abuse, trauma, the formation of friendships - all similar themes explored in the shows, especially in the beginning. And obviously the close-up fight scenes, although more graphic in moving in my opinion.
The small town vibe, and villagers playing important parts in the story. A very beautiful outsider suddenly moving in, that becomes a love interest to the lead. There's also the whole mystery around the identity of one of the leads and some secret past coming to light as the show progresses.
