Segundas Intenções

Seriously. What are they doing? What were they thinking? The worst is the guy playing Lucien. Why would the girls think he's attractive? He looks 14 and is neither suave or debonair. In the scene where he got the attention of the VPs daughter, he looks like a child trying to look like Ferris Bueller. There are some redeeming characters, but not enough to keep you watching. I miss the days when a movie or series did not intentionally try to cover all their bases by including every social demographic and sexual preference. Or at least do it in a way that doesn't come off as forced. Maybe they should have visited a few colleges to get some perspective. If they did, and that's what they found... we need help.

As someone who loved the original movie I initially found this really hard to watch as I was constantly comparing the characters to that of the movie.

After a few episodes I was about to stop comparing since in my opinion it's not a remake it's a new series entirely with "similarities". The characters have different names etc. The character I really struggled with at first was Lucian. Even after accepting that it was not a remake I could not warm to his character at all. However, by the last episode he became my favourite.

My advice do not compare - if you do you will be really disappointed. If you can go into it with your eyes open to it being a new show with a sprinkle of similarity then you will enjoy it.

They had me.. and then they lost me. I've watched the OG. I've even watched the many sequels after. They all had one good thing in common.. IT WASN'T DRAGGED OUT. The Greek system was a nice touch but, GOODNESS! I was annoyed with the characters. And no, I don't just mean the many many character flaws they are supposed to have. I don't want to watch 8 hours of the same scenario over and over in a different package every episode and that's what is happening.

This could have been a great mini series or a limited series but 8 episodes with the possibility of a season 2?? Where. Please let these characters have peace.

Also.. WHO IS LUCIAN!?

Other than Sara Silva who played CeCe, all of the actors were terribly cast. To say the acting was subpar is an understatement. Not to say they aren't decent actors... But the main characters definitely weren't suited for these roles. The storyline was decent, and while it is understood these aren't the same characters as the original movie, they are loosely based on them. It's not a completely different story.... They mimicked certain scenes from the original, like Caroline kissing Annie. Lucian was meant to be a sexy character like Sebastian was, but how it was thought Zak Burgess was the right look and actor for this role is lost on me. Sara Catherine Hook, who played Caroline, did a decent job of playing a bitch, but like Zak and the Lucien character, they didn't really pull off "sexy and seductive". It would have helped to not use the Cruel Intentions title, for the show, but regardless, these actors and actresses just missed the mark.

Where did you find these actors and why are you trying to redo this Iconic film again! Do you really think any of these people can possibly play these parts better then or anywhere near as good as, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon or Slema Blair. I don't think so. I guess for the kid these days that aren't used to seeing really good acting may think this is good but it's not. Sorry but I think this 3rd attempt at this should be your last it just doesn't get it. I don't know where these young actors are coming from but they are not being taught by the people that formed the older group of actors. They just done cut it. I'am sorry, maybe it's because I'am older and I grew up with the best. The new ones are few and far between. In my opinion.
