The best mystery since Season 1 Broadchurch (UK). If Freeform had an advertising budget, this would've beaten anything HBO has to offer. First off, this type of mystery has NEVER been explored, therefore every twist within the mystery is original too. The cast is PERFECT. The side characters, the parents, and the two leads compliment eachother perfectly. Seriously, I binged this season so fast I was sad I couldn't keep it going. The mystery itself is great, but the side stories are actually fascinating enough to keep you hooked without the main arc involved.
-
Series with great plot twists, the series manages to make you eat your head trying to guess how the events really were. Good acting and good characters!
-
Cruel Summer was a really good show. Tense and brooding at times, with a few twists along the way and was much better than I expected. It jumped around between a couple of periods in time, but managed to do that quite well and make it easy enough to follow for the most part, where some movies and TV series struggle with that. Not a bad watch at all 🙂
-
This show has a bit of a lag here and there, and a couple of confusing moments, but in the end it is exceptionally well done. It is original in concept and execution until you get to the end, where they just have to hit you with another twist, a trope, which I wasn't super crazy about, but it was unquestionably effective. Overall, solid entertainment from beginning to end.
-
This series catches you in the first minutes. How can the life of Jeanette Turner turn so much within a year? Twisty, dark and full of surprises.
-
i've seen both seasons now and i prefer the second, but this one is good too. i have to say it was a little confusing and slow, but had some interesting plot twists
-
Great twists and turns make this an entertaining series.
-
Não existe nenhuma série atual tão boa quanto essa, não existem elogios suficiente, o FINAL não é o fim.
-
Edge-of-your-seat suspense with an unexpected twist that nevertheless makes complete logical sense.
-
This was insanely suspenseful and the three year dynamic was super fascinating and kept me on the edge of my seat. The acting was absolutely phenomenal. I have not seen season 2 yet but this was insanely good and am excited to delve in.
