Netflix really needs to improve on their marketing, mostly the cover images. The images for this show makes it seem lighthearted and aimed at 13-15 year olds, so I was expecting something like Never Have I Ever. The trailer is much better, giving a more realistic hint at the show, but for only 6 episodes you don’t want to watch the trailer because it gives away all the good scenes or is a time waster. The cover image really should be an image of an infected person or an image from the rave, something with the neon glow that they’ve done so well, it would actually address an audience old enough to enjoy it. Although it wasn’t what I was expecting, it was a lot better and I really enjoyed it. Although I’m absolutely furious about that last episode, certain events were completely unnecessary and I knew it was a small town but their reaction still seemed so out of the blue, any hints that had been given previously could be explained by other factors so I was not prepared and I feel betrayed.

One of my favourite movies, watched it, ranted about it, then watched it again the following night. Have yet to meet someone who doesn’t love it

Beautiful, amazing dialogue, heartfelt, realistic

Awesome and binge-worthy. Definitely deserves a second season.

Many people give such bad reviews because they view the series as problematic whilst forgetting that it’s a satire. People say that the youth of today are to politically correct and won’t understand the series or that it’s a step backwards from the world we’re aiming for. But I am a teenager in today’s world, so are my friends, we understand that it’s a black comedy and we love and appreciate the show. I realise that a show about blowing up a school can be viewed as horrible surrounded by so many school shootings but the show is so on the nose about it, it knows what it’s doing and in order for you to know you need to watch the show, not the trailers and not the reviews. Back to the school shooting part for a second, there is litterally a scene with a school shooting drill and one kid going “hey doesn’t this exactly inform a school shooter what to do?” I for one am highly disappointed that season 2 was cancelled, I was very excited for a Marie Antoinette take on Heathers.

Adorable, feel-good romcom with an interesting plot.

I enjoyed it. Although Cassie did annoy me at the start, once she got to college it was good. I must say that as much as they thought J.R’s hair was “perfect” and “pretty”, I preferred Sam’s. I really appreciate that Cassie isn’t super thin. Lots of reasons for that but even logically, I mean who grows up eating sweets and desserts for every meal stays model thin? The main thing though is that I think the movie would have benefited from a more complete friendship between Cassie and J.R. From the start he seemed nice but also fake and I would have enjoyed it more if they developed a real true friendship whilst her romance with Sam blossomed. I understand that he was being made out to be a minor villain so the audience is unsure whether to trust him but I just think it if Jack Frost was blamed further as the villain of the story and J.R was removed of guilt that they could have had a wholesome friendship.

I cried a few times. I love it and I’ve wanted to watch it for years, but I do wish there was some chemistry between Jenny and Kitty.
