    Scream fans will or won't take this series as the best exact copy of the movies. Scream was just getting bad enough with their movie installments, but this series manages to be better than the Scream sequels.

    Unfortunately it doesn't have the wit or talent of the first two Scream films, or even Harper's Island, which feels more its spiritual predecessor and major influence than the titular movies. The acting and script is middling, the middle episodes descend into filler and the identity of the killer is fairly obvious from early in the season.

    The killer appears 4 or 5 times maybe during the season, and he supposed to be the thrill & events maker of the series. I hate the show because of that
    ARE THEY SERIOUS ??

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I refrained from writing about this show until I had seen it through until the very end. Though there are more creative death sequences than in any other of the Scream films, unfortunately this show mostly suffers from hiring inept actors, who though may look pretty on screen, are unable to convey any sort of emotion or believability. The other problem with a show of this nature is all the audience wants to see is a blood bath, and right in the middle of the show we have a lull of nothing actually happening for about 2 episodes. Scream was a movie that taught a generation of horror-film fanatics what to do and not do in a situation where a killer comes after you, Scream the series however ignores all this and I found myself constantly yelling at the TV "Call the Cops!", "Don't split up!", "MAYBE BE SMARTER!". The killer was fairly obvious as well from the mid-point, and though there was a *GASP* what-will-happen-next-season moment in the last 30 seconds, it wasn't worth the pain of getting through those 10 episodes.… Expand

    "Scream" tries so hard to create a new classic, with its own mask and its own characters, providing a lot of twists and of blood. Too many twists, in my opinion, especially in season two, where everything felt too messed up. No characters, no realism, just blood. But maybe THIS is the meaning of "slasher". A simple story full of plot holes that people watch just to know who the killer is.

    This is like a super extended version of a movie, if you're not a fan of Scream nor even watched any of the movies you won't take this series 'till the end.

    In all honesty, given that the films themselves are a bit more on the humorous side rather than the scary side, this show isn't bad. It does a decent homage to the film series, and has the same overall direction that the films did.

    With that being said, the editing was a bit off at times which to me is always an annoyance. It was predictable at parts, but I'll forgive that for the films    In all honesty, given that the films themselves are a bit more on the humorous side rather than the scary side, this show isn't bad.

    I think if you are a huge fan of the films you will at least enjoy some aspect of this tv series. Not saying it's great, but nor is it terrible. It's worth the watch in my opinion.    … Expand

    A "quiet" series that whether you watch it or not, you lose absolutely nothing and doesn't add much. More than a spin-off of the films, it is a completely anthological series with respect to the original product.

    Scream is a deferential adaptation well aware of its source material's strengths. It uses them to its advantage, fully embracing them for a result that, while never quite as salacious as the first film, is a more than worthy entry into Scream lore.

    With MTV's Scream, anyone who has enjoyed the original is bound to be disappointed here.

    The writers try to copy the conceit of the original “Scream,” a horror movie built on droll horror-movie references. But the efforts are often clumsy, flagged with a wink-winking that deadens the gimmick.
