Wreck

This was such a fun discovery for me - think Below Deck meets Hot Fuzz with a dash of Scream and Scream Queens. Each episode just got better and better. After reading some of the other user reviews, this is clearly a show that some will appreciate and others will not. I think some reviewers have missed a couple things. Wreck is firmly set in a Slasher universe, and so tonally it's a little madcap, but it also has a lot more depth than most slasher films. It's clear that a lot of thought and love has gone into the making of this show. It features all the other horror conventions we've come to know and love, but also proper, real feeling 3D dimensional characters - and hooray for proper queer representation that isn't all doom and gloom. I'll admit it, I'm a grown woman, and not the target audience, but I love this show. It kept me guessing to the end, and I never saw the BIG twist coming...

If you're watching this thinking it's going to be a hardcore comedy then you're in for a disappointment. However, as a mystery thriller with horror and comedy elements then I really enjoyed it.

Six episodes was the adequate amount of time to introduce, investigate and resolve the case (but leave enough left to lead into series 2 which I am looking forward to).

The writer has also peppered the script with callbacks to famous films of the last 30 years, which is a fun little Easter egg to keep an eye on.

I wasn't really familiar with any of the cast beyond Liam from Ladhood, but they all played their parts well (even if you hated them).

This was such a surprisingly great watch. Initially I thought it was just going to be another cheesy teeny horror but it was actually fantastic. The story was clever (albeit kind of done before) with great casting, acting and soundtrack. It was exactly the right mix of comedy moments, suspense and slasher. Harriet Webb's character in particular was hilarious and had some fantastic one-liners. We were gripped right from the start and loved every second. Watched it all in a one go and felt it got better as it went along. Satisfying, gripping, just the right length and very easy to watch. Would definitely recommend.

This show is so insane. It fully leans into the embrace of what it is. A glorious irreverent, off the wall, totally bonkers and unpredictable schlock-fest.

It has humor, scares, gore, suspense, and plenty of Heart. You have characters you love, characters you love to hate, and characters you just hate.

There's something for everyone.

It has dark humor and it just absolutely goes for it with no holds barred.

I am So ready for a season 2! This one season can stand alone as a capsule but it stands ready for a season 2 also. It has twists and turns and character growth. I genuinely jumped a few times from suspense.

Very well done.

Jamie buys the identity off a guy named Cormack, to get a job working on board a ship called The Sacramentum, his mission, to discover what happened to his sister Pippa, who vanished on board three months back.

It's an enjoyable six part series, it's clearly aimed at teenagers, it's a mix of comedy, horror, mystery, with shed loads of LGBTQ themes thrown in.

Episode one is very good, I loved Quacky, it provided a very different killer, no scary costumes or grim masks, this guy is soft and fluffy, it presents something a little different, it worked.

The disappointment for me came in episode 6, Part 5 offered so much, it just all fell a little bit flat.

You can tell it's from The BBC, it's a wonderfully diverse cast, in terms of the good guys that is,.

The baddies are still white and straight, it's amusing enough, but I liked the characters, I liked the diversity of it. You can see the demographic they're going for, my sixteen year old self would have loved this.

It's well acted, Thaddea Graham and Oscar Kennedy are both very good.

I look forward to series 2.

7/10.
