Dead of Summer

This show is amazing. I love this.it must be a typical horror movie but it has a lot of fun and suspense

I was expecting some Camp Crystal Lake Gorefest and I am glad I gave it a watch because it's not like that at all. Sure, it's the same type of theme, but it's very well done. There is actually little gore and there is a lot of character development, especially when we learn the pasts of Alex and Drew - very well-played out. I will continue to watch this show and have not yet missed any episodes. It's also kind of neat that it takes place in the 80's, with Bowie music and all. Give this a chance - it's not worthy of an Emmy, but it is pretty creepy and atmospheric with good character development. But the girls need bigger hair - it's the 80's!

I started watching this show before reading any reviews and I'm glad I did, because the reviews might have pushed me away, but I ended up loving the show! It's one of my favorites now.

First of all, what my summary says. After I finished watching, I figured out that it seems to be a mix of two of my favorite TV shows: Stranger Things and Scream. This is probably why I love this show. Plus, the producers also produced Once Upon a Time and Lost, both of which I enjoy/ed watching! If you like any of the above shows, I definitely recommend that you give Dead of Summer a chance!

Plus, there are so many plot twists along the way that it kept my interest. At first, the show might not seem as if it sticks out, but I recommend that you keep watching because it certainly made an impression on me. I also love the characters and the fact that we got to see their backgrounds and how their pasts effected them and shaped their personalities. There's character development, from the flashbacks to present time and how they react to things. They really stick to these personalities, too, and I love that. They're not all over the place and they don't suddenly just change. You at least see a build up. It's these reasons that I ended up loving Dead of Summer.

The plot is actually interesting. It was thrilling to watch in the beginning, however poor performance of the cast, improperly made 80s atmosphere and forced LGBT agenda made it boring in the end. But it's certainly worth watching if you want to relax.

Dead of Summer is based on a book and as many similar shows out there doesn't follow the book point by point, which is OK and not some horrific happening.

The screenplay is good, the cast is nice, the chicks are gorgeous and the acting well above average considering what they are doing and up to.

So, as one reviewer rightfully pointed out, all those who cannot sit for the entirety of episodes, let alone the series and have the mindless pretense to rate and review a show, better find themselves other hobbies.

This is a good series, lifting off weight from viewers' shoulders and allow them to pass some great moments.

As always, Elizabeth Lail rocks in her own very personal way.
