With Wes Craven's recent passing this show can't be considered a honor to his work. Luckily he didn't do much else than let them use his name for the show. > You can't do a slasher movie as a TV series. The above is an actual quote from a character in this show which certainly applies here. There is little *"slasher"* in this show! Instead they took some basic ideas from the genre and paired it with Pretty Little Liars whose fans also seem to be the target audience. No one does a decent job acting, the dialogue is often cringey, the story sucks and they make absolute no use of the runtime to build the characters or go past the cliché. They even had the balls to go for a second season. For anyone who liked the movies and thinks that the TV series is the logical continuation you have to watch: don't do it.

I just don't see this working as a TV show. I can see it dragging on and being really dumb. Just feels like a typical MTV teen drama with a few murders thrown in.

Season 3 is really cringey, illogical and a bit obvious, the characters are hard to connect with and the story moves too fast, you learn about a character and then they immediately die making the things you learned pointless and makes sympathising or empathising with a character difficult since it's just come out of nowhere and then ends there too. Also I know race issues are prevalent in current society, but I think it comes up too much unnecessarily. The characters just feel poorly written. The ending is weird too, feels like in the end none of it really mattered or had a logical reason to happen. (I know the movie was kind of like that, but they at least tried to justify it in a somewhat logical way). I'm kind of disappointed, but not surprised. It sucks if that's the last we'll see of the series, especially since the first 2 seasons weren't too bad.

[spoiler]This show is dumb as ****. Bodies are dropping everywhere and they are kids and like four kids in the same school got murdered and brutally but they still have school and the main character who is obviously the center of it all is not under constant police surveillance. This is the dumbest show I've ever watched

And again US high-schoolers are in their mid-20 ;)
