    Think of it as a kind of Gossip Girl with gore and credible characters. ... The whole thing is joyfully addictive, and done with brio and style.

    “IKWYDLS” isn’t prestige television by any means, nor does it break new ground. But it doesn’t have to. It succeeds by taking a tried-and-true formula, adding in some lovely scenery and scantily clad characters, and amping the fright factor up to 10.

    Yes, it occasionally copies Euphoria’s lighting and makeup, as well as Gossip Girl and You’s digital stalking and surveillance narratives, and Riverdale’s camp. Together, it makes for an unholy collage, barely able to stand on its own two legs.

Beyond the basic setup, this modern take on the novel is nowhere similar to the 1997 film, but is still tense and propulsive in its own right. With a wickedly good performance from Madison Iseman, the rest of the cast kind of floats by, and really the only reason to keep watching is to witness these teenagers what is coming to them. And surprisingly the central mystery is tightly written, with red herrings left and right, and a whole slew of suspects and uncertainties that I honestly have no idea where the show is going. May get upgraded to an 8 depending on it's ending.… Full Review »
