Scream

The first two seasons, with the exception of the last episode of Season 2, were excellent and well acted. When they decided to reboot the series for season 3, there was a serious drop off in show quality. They abandoned a great cliffhanger from season 2, replaced the cast with far inferior actors/actresses, and created a story with characters you really don't care about. Stick to the first two seasons.

I am so surprised by the quality of this series, I'd intentionally avoided it believing there wouldn't be enough mileage in it, but I'm always glad to be proven wrong, the writing is so good, that yes there is enough mileage in it to keep you gripped and maintain your attention. Initially the crimes seem to come at the expense of characters that you care nothing about, people seem to be introduced just to be bumped off, but as it develops that changes. I understand they couldn't use the original scream mask, but this one looks good enough, works just as well.

If I had one criticism 'why does everyone have to be so attractive?' it removes the reality, the students, the teachers, the parents etc, come on give us a break. That minor criticism the series is worth checking.

Series one and two are both great, the least said about the third, the better.

It proves that the slasher brand works across a series as well as a film, 8/10.

I was surprised by how much I actually enjoyed the series Scream. This is mainly because it is one of the only shows that has aired on MTV that was not terrible. While this show could easily be considered more thriller than horror, it certainly has some of the horror aspects of the original Scream film.

Going into this series, I expected very little beyond a similar story line to the original Scream films. In many ways this series is just like the films - the high school setting, the killer's cat and mouse game with their teenage victims, teenagers constantly trying to get laid despite the fact that half of them are already dead.

But, there are also several large differences from the original story. The series Scream in a modern story and is therefore filled with modern technology that plays a large role in the actions of the characters. I also found it to be a bit less gory than the original/

Season 1 and 2 were great and I was looking forward for season 3 to follow the original plot line. But they decided to reboot it and it was awful. From the plot line to the acting, everything was horrible. I wonder how it's possible to get it this wrong. It was completely whack, I can't emphasise it enough!!! The reveal was a complete joke although it could have been interested. The underlying societal problems they hinted at a few times (racism) could have been exploited way better. And also, why is Tyga in it? He was the worst of them all (followed closely by the actress playing Olivia) and his dying scene was almost hilarious.

Honestly have nothing good to say about season 3 except for the fact that I was happy they used the original Ghostface mask but that's it. They killed the series with season 3. Complete trash.

I wish the series ran at least a couple more seasons with the original cast. The cast members of seasons one and two worked so well together and I think they could've told a lot more stories. Honestly, I'd be up for a Scream prequel about what happened in Lakewood before the killings. Nonetheless, they rebooted the entire show in season three and in my opinion, that did not end well. If you ask me there are no redeeming qualities about season three. Basically, I thoroughly enjoyed the first two seasons and was extremely disappointed about the third.

8.2/10 (excluding season three).
