Dead of Summer

I was expecting some Camp Crystal Lake Gorefest and I am glad I gave it a watch because it's not like that at all. Sure, it's the same type of theme, but it's very well done. There is actually little gore and there is a lot of character development, especially when we learn the pasts of Alex and Drew - very well-played out. I will continue to watch this show and have not yet missed any episodes. It's also kind of neat that it takes place in the 80's, with Bowie music and all. Give this a chance - it's not worthy of an Emmy, but it is pretty creepy and atmospheric with good character development. But the girls need bigger hair - it's the 80's!

Dead of Summer is based on a book and as many similar shows out there doesn't follow the book point by point, which is OK and not some horrific happening.

The screenplay is good, the cast is nice, the chicks are gorgeous and the acting well above average considering what they are doing and up to.

So, as one reviewer rightfully pointed out, all those who cannot sit for the entirety of episodes, let alone the series and have the mindless pretense to rate and review a show, better find themselves other hobbies.

This is a good series, lifting off weight from viewers' shoulders and allow them to pass some great moments.

As always, Elizabeth Lail rocks in her own very personal way.

PROS:

-THE ENDING. The last three episodes are television golden in his most pure representation. It´s full of twists, unexpected revelations and a satisfying resolution.

-A good story overall, with decent performances.

-It was cancelled. I know it sounds wrong but this show it's better in just one season. I don't think a second season would have been good, after all this season has a good conclusion.

CONS:

-Really slow and some things are a little bit predictable at the first episodes. Overall the part of being slow it's because making a horror show focusing on a camp with 10 episodes feels like a lot. This show should last maximum 8 episodes.

-The acting was just decent. Must of the cast is forgettable.

Does this deserve 10 stars? No. But a certain one star review admitted they did not even finish a single episode in full. That, in my opinion, does not give them the right to even review.

I liked this show. It's not the best. But I am sick of these new "reviewers" who cannot sit through 45-ish minutes to review (while claiming to take reviewing seriously) yet can feel good saying this is worse than troll 2 or thankskilling or birdemic. Those are at least fun.

If you review, stop being a stupid elaborator. Seriously? 1/10? One of the WORST shows you have seen? Make ratings MEAN something again. Stop your dumb feelings-only blogs exaggerating everything, and leave an honest review.

It's not good. But it DEFINITELY isn't 1/10.

Screw this new age of reviewers.

This show is amazing. I love this.it must be a typical horror movie but it has a lot of fun and suspense
