    Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
    Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
    StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
    Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
    Nutrynion Sadly Season 1 is nowhere near as good. Season 2 is so, so, so much better. Better writing, better plot, better acting. I think that's why Netflix puts Season 2 first. No really. When you go to watch, Season 2 is first then Season 1. (Naughty Netflix...) I rarely binge watch stuff (so I can draw it out) but wow, the way it unfolds right to the end of each episode makes you want to pick right back up to the next.I highly recommend it. Please take my advice and do not watch Season 1. Neither of the 2 are connected. Two separate stories. Yet some of the same actors in each, but different characters even. The finale is so well done too. All the way. You don't even know. You think you got it figured out and bam. They really wrote that well.
    itsjustin-85666 I almost didn't watch season 2 because the acting from the main character from season 1 (the woman) was so bad.BUTSeason 2 is far better and I highly recommend just skipping the first season. The season stories are different so you are not missing anything.Here's hoping season 3 is good..
    Tina Johansson Season 1 was not very good (4/10). So if you like horror/slasher-shows skip it and go straight into season 2 (7/10). It's not perfect but really entertaining and I love the fact that we get you but the pieces together to try and figure out who the killer is. I really wish IMDb will give us the option to rate season individually soon. It's much needed with all these anthology-series.
    hnt_dnl As a few others have stated, Season 2 of the Netflix series SLASHER is so much better than Season 1! So I'm going to cheat here and give a high rating, but ONLY based on Season 2. Then we can talk about Season 1. Season 2 of Slasher is an extremely complicated and clever homage to the horror genre in general. A tight, well-written, engrossing 8-episode journey that digs deep into the lives of it's large cast of characters. The interconnected story involves two groups of characters. The first group are 5 twenty-something friends and former camp counselors (Dawn, Peter, Noah, Susan, Andi) who killed one of their fellow counselors Talvinder and upon hearing that a resort is going to be built on the property, return to the scene of their crime to retrieve the remains and dispose of them for good. The camp property is currently a peaceful retreat occupied by 8 older, world-weary characters (Judith, Antoine, Mark, Glenn, Renee, Wren, Keira, Gene) who live a life of repentant and reformed solitude. During the winter, the 5 friends rent one of the retreat cabins so they can execute their plan to retrieve of and dispose of the body. But things get complicated as a killer appears to be among the 13 and they must work together to stay alive whilst simultaneously trying to figure out the 'Guilty Party' (the season's subtitle) is.I was amazed at how the makers of Season 2 were able to stretch essentially what is usually a 90-minute slasher movie into 8 fully immersive and showstopping hours of entertainment. Via flashback storytelling, it succeeds by delving deeply into each character's life and fleshing all of them out giving them dimension and value. Every episode is excellent, with lots of suspense and horror to complement all the character-building and interactions within and between the 2 groups. Even with all the twists and turns, I think this season is very re-watchable. The music choices were perfect. And there are surprisingly not a lot of jump scares, relying on the characters to drive the story, not the horror. My favorite characters were probably Dawn and Mark.And now to Season 1! LOL I'm going to assume Season 1 was just an experiment gone wrong, because it is nowhere near the brilliance that is the second season. Season 1 has incredibly bad and amateur acting (the lead actress is Irish and her accent kept slipping all the time), too many jump scares as substitutes for actual suspense, and too many mis-directs as to who the killer was. It was the opposite of fluid storytelling. Let's just waste every episode telling a new story that goes nowhere in terms of building character or moving the plot forward. Another thing that bugged me about Season 1 is that the background extras looked way too much like extras. It really took me out of the story, which wasn't good in itself anyway. Just everything about Season 1, from the writing to the acting to the editing to the pacing, felt amateurish. So I'm going to either assume Season 1 was a glitch or that there was a new set of writers.
