I finally got round to seeing this series. I'm a big fan of Scream so it's interesting to see how this compares. It's very good and feels like the film in many ways. Wes Craven was an executive producer, so that probably helped.
Self aware as always and even mentions the difficulty of doing a slasher series. It maintains momentum quite well. There are plenty of twists and red herrings as to who the killer is. Maybe could have been a couple of episodes shorter. Overall though if you are a fan of the film you should enjoy this.

Easy to pick up

I was introduced to this game by my uncle a couple of years ago. When he first tried explaining the gameplay to me I was extremely confused... But I persisted and played a game. It only took me one game to pick up the rules completely and I was loving it. The game is very fun and you find yourself wanting to sabotage your family members so you can be crowned champion!! I hear the expansion pack also brings added comedic value in the form of a Cone of Shame. Would highly recommend as an icebreaker game or to kick start an evening of board games shenanigans.

The flashback scenes

A drama full of twists and turns

Dr. Tom Delaney (played with a convincing British accent by Michael C Hall) lives with his daughters in a gated community, but following a party when a young lad is found dead in a swimming pool and Tom's daughter goes missing life begins to unravel for the residents of the exclusive area.

Twists, turns, red herrings and surprises galore in this 8 episode series where it is almost impossible to guess what might come next. Until it smacks you in the face...

It took a couple of episodes to really get going but once it did, it didn't hold back...

One of the most hyped books in ages--about a murderous married couple--completely fell flat for me. What a disappointment! I slogged through most of this one waiting for it to get good and see what all the fuss was about. I felt nothing for the characters except irritation. This was the ultimate epitome of a slow start. It picked up a bit, but there was nothing to redeem these hateful characters. The entire book was incredibly anticlimactic until a rushed, uncertain ending. Ugh. Still, I can see bits and pieces of why others found it so interesting, and I'll still be intrigued to read Downing's next book. 2.5 stars, though, for me.

Great crime drama that feels very cinematic ?

I am not big into TV shows however after watching the first two seasons of Ozark I was immediately hooked. Season three is equally as good if not better than previous two. For one, every character's actions have consequences that contribute to the larger story as whole. Additionally, the intensity in each episode is raised just a bit enough to keep the audience from predicting what will happen next. If you thought season 2 was a bit slower, season three definitely takes it up a couple of notches. I am excited for future seasons and give the show my high praise.
