The A List

I can see all the hate in season 1. The story was odd and slow burn with some just plain bad first episodes with a teen drama feel. Acting was just ok to be honest but season 2 was very good and make this overall show pretty good.

Ok plot & storyline, ok script writing, bad acting...but I just couldn't stop watching it.

First of all, I watched EVERY episode back to back yesterday and FINISHED it. That's how good it was. I don't think people should write a bad review unless they have watched the whole thing. Let me address the bridge scene one bad reviewer spoke about. I can't fully explain without giving away a major plot so I will say this: there is a reason the characters overact to the girl falling just inches into the water. Just when you think, oh ok this is predictable, it throws a curve ball at you that totally changes what you were thinking. At first I was like ok this is your typical teen thriller but after the 2nd episode, I was hooked. You have to watch it through and all the silly things you thought were stupid acting will have you rethinking your life, the paranormal, science and nature. What if, just what if stuff like this could really happen? I thought the last episode would be the end. In the last minute, literally, as it wraps every thing up, it shoves in a new twist with an interesting cliff hanger. These actors will go far as they played their parts much better than some movies with adults actors. Don't listen to the reviews who didn't watch it from beginning to end. They will never understand.

It was one of those night where I was looking to what to watch with my kids, 11 and 7 yrs old, so I gave this a shot. Now, on my flim snob eyes, it's nothing to brag about ...all the holes and cliche , yes there are many, but if I can put my mind into my younger years, I think it's a good one to watch, it has a mix of that twilight zone's Mysteries nd a touch of horror, in fact ir gave me a pretty cool ride. we watch 5 episodes straight. I really like looking at the kids watching it withn suspense. As a horror fan myself, This is another chance for them to appreciate the genre....So, again , putting myself in their eyes, i give it 6 /10

I don't do many reviews on here but after reading several of the posted reviews I felt like I should share my perspective.

This show centers on a group of teenagers spending the summer at a summer camp on an island and how they deal with the mysterious events that take place as well as teenage politics and power plays.

If you want adult programming you might be disappointed. If you want or require a big budget look you might be disappointed. If you want super witty and intellectual dialogue you might be disappointed. But if you are looking for a lightweight teenage mystery then this is pretty decent. It has a creepy supernatural vibe to it. Why is something you have to watch to find out. I personally enjoyed it, it took a few episodes to bond with the characters and get into the story but once that happened it became an enjoyable ride.
