    A simply good and thrilling supernatural show

    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.

    Seems like a mix of Stranger Things & Scream: Two of my favorite TV shows!

    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.

    Not bad, not excellent but somewhere in between.

    So this TV show has a 80s feel. And the story takes place then. I love Once upon a time and I love the creators. This show has that Lost feel with constant running back and forth of a character's past. It has a Whodunit element along with a supernatural story. AND Tony Todd guest stars! The acting is good. I love both the Elizabeths. The only thing I disliked was that there were less kills. It's a slasher show (I guess) but the pilot was not gruesome. When you watch the Pilot, don't keep a critical mind and watch it without judging. It's entertaining and I know it'll improve in future episodes. I love the story line even though some characters seem lil' annoying. I suggest you give it watch.

    Totally horror serie

    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.
