Rating: 3/5 Stars
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 77% Critics, 75% Audience
Overview: A slasher series that follows a sorority as they try to survive a masked killer intent on picking them off. Who will be the final girls or will the killer prevail?
Best elements: The twists and inversions in the plot keep the story from falling flat by keeping you invested in who might die next, and who is doing the killing. Second, the show works in exaggeration, taking stereotypes and pushing them to the extremes brings in more of a comedy factor. It is definitely a stylistic choice that forms the tone of the series.
Short falls: This show can be so annoying. From the over abundance of valley girls to the constant squabbling and traditional “can’t make the right choice” elements to the repeated jokes that are never actually funny, it all gets a bit redundant. I love the premise of the show, but they really needed a different direction than the Chanels for the second season.
Recommendations/ Similar works: If you like this, definitely try “American Horror Story” and “American Horror Stories” or “Penny Dreadful”.
