Underwhelming, but needs new writers!

Underwhelming, but needs new writers!

I vowed not to review this until at least a few episodes in to give it a fair shot. I understand this was developed for the new MTV generation, but quite frankly, this show massively insults them. Unlike the popular film franchise which managed to cleverly poke fun at stereotypes, this series tries to legitimately pass them off in glaringly offensive ways. The girls either impossibly weak damsels in distress, or bitter, venomous sex objects written specifically for male entertainment. The only exception to this rule has been the refreshing character of Audrey.

Aside from her, the jocks are trying to be alpha males and the girls are skimping around in lingerie and teasing them. It's definitely exploitation, and for anyone with a modicum of intelligence, disturbing as well. I place the blame for this solely in the writers laps. This is simply lazy development, relying on caricatures rather the giving us people who feel remotely real. Simply put; If we were smart enough in the 90's and early 2000's to mock these carbon copy characters with spoofs like Another Teen Movie and Scary Movie, why have we regressed into using them again with the expectation they'll be taken seriously?

The whole concept of the scream franchise was to scoff at these ideals and breathe new life into the genre by making it relative to us, self-aware and smart. This series is NOT smart by any means because the characters are vintage, cookie cutter tropes that bring nothing provocative or interesting. I actually laughed at the incredibly stupid lines of dialog like "For reals?" written by writers so out of touch with actual high school young adults that one would think they watch Clueless as research material.

The story line on the other hand has at least more depth than the vacant characters playing it out- but not much. It borrows, again, from a multitude of other films from the 90's which only punctuates the fact that the writers are evidently all in their late 20's/early 30's and think older teenager today still talk like their friends did and behave like hair twirling nimrods when in crisis. Young adults today are actually pretty smart and far more evolved than they're being given credit for by this show.

 They may not have been around in the Era of "I know What You Did Last Summer" and "Urban Legend" - and the writers are lucky, otherwise viewers would be switching off for new, legitimately fresh takes on content the likes of American Horror Story. While lacking in creativity, it seems to be squandering the potential of a new story. I have to consider though, that this is the same network that produces such quality entertainment as Teen Mom. In comparison to that, I suppose, this is a huge leap ahead, but still not updated to the present.

The Shape of Water (2017)

The Shape of Water (2017) oday's movie deals with a love between a human and a monster. Many should immediately shout, "Beauty and the Beast!", as that's the most well known fairy tale of that same kind of love. When you come down to it, it's seen as bizarre, considering that it's practically two different species that have declared a love between each other. It's a connection that falls off the radar, but you could argue we have connections to a lot of things that are not human. Children love their electronic video games. Pet owners love their dogs. What's different is that those connections are not romantic, but rather mutual.  Cinematically, we've gotten a lot more love stories between creatures then we realize. Shrek had an ogre in love with a human. Splash had a man in love with a mermaid. But the biggest example, oddly enough, are monster movies (more specifically, the universal monster classics). Dracula, The Mummy, and even the Phanto...

The television channel broke into this category

Relatively recently, the BBC has become a beacon of popular culture. The television channel broke into this category with the aid of shows with cult followings and well-known actors- remakes like Doctor Who (2005), re-imaginings like Sherlock (2010), and historical dramas like Downton Abbey (2010). Before this modern era of broadcast, the BBC produced a slew of well-received and painfully detailed (at least, to my younger, crankier self who used them to stay up past bedtime) miniseries. Some examples that come to mind are the 1973 four hour long Jane Eyre and the 1995 six-episode Pride and Prejudice. https://365movies.is/  Around that same time, apparently, they cut Shakespeare's plays to under a half an hour (25:47, to be exact) and filmed them using Claymation. Clearly the second half of the twentieth century was a branching point for the BBC, turning away from animation films (short though they may have been) and towards live-acted series with big name actors (for example Co...
