Cruel Intentions

Seriously. What are they doing? What were they thinking? The worst is the guy playing Lucien. Why would the girls think he's attractive? He looks 14 and is neither suave or debonair. In the scene where he got the attention of the VPs daughter, he looks like a child trying to look like Ferris Bueller. There are some redeeming characters, but not enough to keep you watching. I miss the days when a movie or series did not intentionally try to cover all their bases by including every social demographic and sexual preference. Or at least do it in a way that doesn't come off as forced. Maybe they should have visited a few colleges to get some perspective. If they did, and that's what they found... we need help.

They had me.. and then they lost me. I've watched the OG. I've even watched the many sequels after. They all had one good thing in common.. IT WASN'T DRAGGED OUT. The Greek system was a nice touch but, GOODNESS! I was annoyed with the characters. And no, I don't just mean the many many character flaws they are supposed to have. I don't want to watch 8 hours of the same scenario over and over in a different package every episode and that's what is happening.

This could have been a great mini series or a limited series but 8 episodes with the possibility of a season 2?? Where. Please let these characters have peace.

Also.. WHO IS LUCIAN!?

I just started the show and I'm loving it right now. It's pretty good and the characters r cool. It's not something special but it's definitely entertaining. I'm on ep 6 already... lol! If you're looking for a cool show w college kids then I would def give this a try.

Oh and to the person complaining about "no melanin" please stop. Don't make everything about race. How do you feel when people complain about a white character turning black? You applaud it right? So don't complain if there's not enough "melanin" and this is coming from a person of color. Race isn't a big deal just enjoy the show.

Who casted this? What were they on?!

Lucien looks like a twelve year old muppet that was found at a thrift store. There's no way any 20 year old is finding him attractive, or irresistible. He's actually intolerable.

The girl that plays the VP's daughter is not very convincing.

Terrible acting. Terrible writing. Terrible casting.

I don't think they should've named this, "Cruel Intentions," or used the movie's character names. Maybe then it'd appeal to the younger audience, not comparing it to the movie. None of these actors can hold a candle to Sarah Michelle Geller, Ryan Phillipe, Reese Witherspoon, or Selma Blair.

Where did you find these actors and why are you trying to redo this Iconic film again! Do you really think any of these people can possibly play these parts better then or anywhere near as good as, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon or Slema Blair. I don't think so. I guess for the kid these days that aren't used to seeing really good acting may think this is good but it's not. Sorry but I think this 3rd attempt at this should be your last it just doesn't get it. I don't know where these young actors are coming from but they are not being taught by the people that formed the older group of actors. They just done cut it. I'am sorry, maybe it's because I'am older and I grew up with the best. The new ones are few and far between. In my opinion.
