Scream - Season 1

Of course, everything is more in the style of Scream 4, but since I miss Gale, why not at least enjoy the teen paranoia and the obligatory plots "everyone sleeps with everyone," the "blonde sleeps with teacher," the "podcaster and barista hook up," spiced up with "mom, you survived a massacre in high school" or "my friend was killed yesterday." It's all so peaceful. And there isn't even a new dead body in every episode, so the surviving teenagers have a chance to improve in terms of character. (05/01/2021)

I have such a strange opinion about Scream. I had been avoiding it for a long time because I had read rather negative reviews like that it's a mess and simply a stupid series for teenagers. Well, basically it's absolutely true and I'm really aware of that. But something about it just entertains me. It's quite a relaxing thing, fortunately I quite like the characters, although what they go through there, I would have moved three times over by now. Basically, they have a tough shell, too tough indeed. And by that I mean that Scream doesn't really play that brilliantly with logic. The conclusion of season 1 seemed more like from a bad dream, and even though the writers try to be shocking, to me it felt like mockery and complete slapdash improvisation. Everyone is the killer and no one is the killer; the killer is everywhere and nowhere, just a really precise little assassin with a teleport and a very well-mastered hacking skill. However, so far it's just getting started shyly, the characters are rather stupid figures (except for the funny Noah) and it's hard to build any deeper relationship with this work. (01/11/2024)
