Lois Duncan's beloved YA thriller heads to streaming in a loose adaptation that makes the persuasive argument that covering up a murder last summer probably wasn't a great idea.
Not scary, but full of choices that are either thematically complex or bad.
I’d explain, but I can’t. Although Amazon is releasing the first four episodes in one batch, and the hook of the show — not to be confused in any way with the physical hooks on which various characters in the film franchise meet their demise — is revealed at the end of the pilot, the streamer has requested that the twist not be revealed. I can abide by that, because it’s the best thing about the show, if simultaneously the dumbest.
Based on what they did last summer, Lennon, Margot, Riley, Dylan and Johnny are filled with a lot of internalized anxiety, and the series suffers from a similar unease. It’s a show that knows its core audience is going to be expecting slasher thrills, but it really doesn’t want to be a slasher show. So while the four episodes sent to critics have a mounting body count, the victims are dispatched in gruesome ways that are, with very limited exception, conducted entirely off-camera.
