Garic l @RT93207740 02/25/2025 You should be fine going in without expecting too much from the murder mystery angle... The true core of this limited series is its coming-of-age/slice-of-life themes and how they are affected by something as big as a serial killing (in a small, uneventful town no less). It utterly destroyed me--haunts to this very moment as every Sophie Thatcher outing does. It's a full-length movie when stitched together, though towards the end, I couldn't help but feel that it meandered into a rushed conclusion. It would have fared better as a full-pledged series with at least 20 minutes of per-episode runtime. See more 11/07/2021 This show was written and narrated as if it was one of the boys from the Virgin Suicides. Has some quirky moments, but the writing or the script was great. Ever narrated moment reminded of Virgin Suicides over and over. Very good thriller. See more 10/27/2021 That was really well done. Great cast, the young actors really hold their own. See more 08/31/2020 A good coming of age story with a great cast....hurt by weak resolution to its mystery See more 06/22/2020 Lame and predictable - like a 90s teen slasher movie without the thrills. Stock characters are nothing more than pieces on a board game not worth finishing. More of a "who cares?" than a "who-done-it". Even when you learn who the killer is, you don't care because it's played off as a side note and the writing gives you no clues in advance, so the revelation proves inconsequential. The only mystery is how the producers managed to get a few A-/B+ actors in for cameo roles. See more 06/12/2020 Fantastic! What this show did in the ten 10 minute episodes is truly phenomenal. Whereas the murder mystery pulls in on the first episode, this series isn't really about a murder mystery, it is about teen romance, and more importantly, teenage perception. It is an ode to the girl next door from your childhood that could have been your future but was just on a different path. Take the show simply for what it is; a look back at a childhood love you could have once had, and maybe even deserved, but could never have just like the narrator or others couldn't.
