This project feels like a shallow echo of things that have come before, conspicuously dropping slang like “sus” and “merc” to prove its Teen™ bona fides. It’s Riverdale without the camp, bedazzled in Euphoria makeup. ... Its plot in search of purpose, its characters starved for even an ounce of depth.
-
It leads to a project that's constantly waffling in tone, overplaying its teen melodrama in the first two episodes sent to press before going off the rails in a way that still feels uncertain about the motives behind rebooting this franchise.
-
The cardinal sin of a mystery is to be not interesting enough to keep people wondering what’s going to happen next. You also have to be rooted in the struggles of these characters enough to care who is torturing them. Unfortunately, that’s the biggest problem with ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ the show: the only motivation for the audience to care who knows what these teens did last summer is so the show will finally end.
-
“I Know What You Did Last Summer” could win the title for being the year’s most unpleasant show. Zero fun, next-to-no compelling arcs, and a cast filled with derivative caricatures of who adults think “the kids” are these day results in a hollow series serving up teen bodies as fodder for violence.

Oct 18, 2021Really fun and exciting re-imagining of a classic story. The lack of full frontal nudity was very disappointing, but overall, the best new show on TV
