Slasher

I started watching from season 3 and now I am going to continue for sure! It was really entertaining even though I wasn't so happy when it was revealed who the killer was but it kinda made sense... Looking forward to watching other seasons!

I rated S1 a 6, basically for the reasons others have given. S2 however is a different kettle if fish. Superb acting and storyline, good use of flashbacks. You can almost feel the anxiety in the lodge. Score bumped up to an 8.

I wasn't expecting much from these series, thought it may be a poor American Horror Story, but it is actually pretty good!

The stories and characters are independent to each series with some of the same cast.

All three series tell the story of different slasher serial killers. The stories are a lot more complex and unpredictable than expected which is great.

Series 1 is about The Executioner copycat murders based around the seven deadly sins and related to the original murder 30yrs before. The casting is great, good to see Katie McGrath in a leading role.

Series 2 is about a serial killer targeting a group of former summer camp workers related to a killing there 5yrs earlier. Almost has a I-know-what-you-did-last-summer vibe.

Series 3, the most recent, is the most enjoyable in my opinion, the most proper slasher. The story is around tenants of an apartment block being murdered, somehow linked to a murder the previous year. The ensemble cast is fantastic, dialogue is good and the whole series is bingeworthy.

All in all, I'm really looking forward to what season 4 has to offer.

Move aside American Horror Story, there is a new king in the anthology world.

At the time I write this I have only seen the first two seasons, but my review would have been the same after just the first episode to season one. This is a Canadian made anthology series about serial killers. The writers do an excellent job with the plot and keeping you guessing as to the true identity of the killer in each season. As the title implies it is a series about someone murdering people a lot like the horror movies of the eighties. Where AHS is superior in the casting department, this series in far superior in the gore and story telling. The only exception to this is the second season of AHS which I do not feel will ever be bested by any series ever, but I digress.

For everyone that is complaining about the casting, as I stated before this is a Canadian made series, so I am sure that they casted Canadian actors first, and those actors do a great job in their roles. If you are a true horror fan, then I cannot ay enough good about this and I suggest you drop everything and watch it poste haste. I did not give it ten stars only because it is close to perfect but not quite there.

I wish there were a separate listing for Season 2 of this anthology horror show, but this will have to do.

Not sure what happened but the quality of this second season blows Season 1 out of the water; production values, location, plot, acting. While it might seem there is the usual derivative disguised killer theme at work, there is guesswork on hand for the audience to make their own decision, clever use of flashbacks, and misdirection. Really, well done all involved. A good ride.
