Slasher

I rated S1 a 6, basically for the reasons others have given. S2 however is a different kettle if fish. Superb acting and storyline, good use of flashbacks. You can almost feel the anxiety in the lodge. Score bumped up to an 8.

I wasn't a huge fan of season 1. I found it quite boring. But the good thing with these anthology series is that they're not linked, and so I gave season 2 a go....and I enjoyed it! I really like how they have used a lot of the same cast as well. Season 2 is a huge improvement but yet it's still quite a clichéd storyline. And it was easy to guess the killer by episode 4/5. Season 3 had a slightly different vibe and a very interesting storyline. And it was much better than season 2 although again, I had guessed the killer by episode 5. So I hope there is going to be a season 4, but if so I'd like a more complicated and intricate plot. I love to be totally surprised and blown away by an ending...but these are too easy. Nevertheless I have enjoyed seasons 2 and 3.

I wish there were a separate listing for Season 2 of this anthology horror show, but this will have to do.

Not sure what happened but the quality of this second season blows Season 1 out of the water; production values, location, plot, acting. While it might seem there is the usual derivative disguised killer theme at work, there is guesswork on hand for the audience to make their own decision, clever use of flashbacks, and misdirection. Really, well done all involved. A good ride.

I wasn't expecting much from these series, thought it may be a poor American Horror Story, but it is actually pretty good!

The stories and characters are independent to each series with some of the same cast.

All three series tell the story of different slasher serial killers. The stories are a lot more complex and unpredictable than expected which is great.

Series 1 is about The Executioner copycat murders based around the seven deadly sins and related to the original murder 30yrs before. The casting is great, good to see Katie McGrath in a leading role.

Series 2 is about a serial killer targeting a group of former summer camp workers related to a killing there 5yrs earlier. Almost has a I-know-what-you-did-last-summer vibe.

Series 3, the most recent, is the most enjoyable in my opinion, the most proper slasher. The story is around tenants of an apartment block being murdered, somehow linked to a murder the previous year. The ensemble cast is fantastic, dialogue is good and the whole series is bingeworthy.

All in all, I'm really looking forward to what season 4 has to offer.

You get exactly what you expect from the trailers and the title and should not expect more. The first season is amazing the second one is ok-ish.
