Harper's Island is a fun-to-watch and enjoyable limited series from 2009. The story is really a mix and resemblance of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" and the "Scream" franchise with too many twists and turns in each episode. It is fast-paced, suspenseful, and intriguing, with too many different characters and, of course, too many murders. This TV series's genre can be described as a teen slasher and thriller with some soap opera elements. Besides serial killings and horror elements, you can also watch too many betrayals, secret and extramarital relationships, some kinky master-slave sex games between some characters, and too many tragedies, secrets from the past, and dramas. Harper's Island also successfully and equally blends and presents likable, charming, and unlikeable, suspicious characters each episode. The script also gives you too many red herrings about characters, so this makes it difficult to guess who the actual killer is until the last episodes. Overall, it's not definitely an Emmy award-worthy TV show with some amateurish dialogues, so-so acting from some unknown TV actors, and nonsensical scenes that don't make too much sense. I'm sure some people find this TV series quite cheesy and corny, but overall it's ideal for binge-watching for a boring night with its intriguing premise, and I can recommend it to horror and thriller fans. I also like the gloomy island setting, which perfectly fits and elevates the general atmosphere and suspense.
