13 Weeks. 25 Suspects. 1 Killer.
That's not strictly true, I watched it all in two days, I suspected only a about 8 different people throughout and in the end I'm pretty sure more than 1 person made a kill at some point.
Anyway this series was well worth watching. I did have my doubts at first as I didn't want it to be left on a cliffhanger that won't be resolved since the show wasn't renewed for any further seasons.
I really liked the setting of the show, the island was so big that nobody really knew what was going on and that kept me guessing. Although most of the characters make questionable decisions throughout the series, it was just one of them shows that kept me interested. It's no where near perfect but so watchable, loads of twists, characters dropping like flies and I kept wanting to find out more/get closer to the reveal.
Some of the dialogue was a bit corny at times, and the music sometimes made it feel like I was watching a soap. Overall the style and watch- ability of the show is very similar to Scream: The TV Series.
The reveal scenes were handled very well even though I was right about the killer with 2/3 episodes to go. The small description of John Wakefield (Harper's Island killer of 7 years previous) worked well to set the scene, then everything else is on this island until the end where we see some extra scenes to wrap the show up with a satisfying and resolved ending.
I wouldn't really be interested to watch any more episodes if it was to be about what happened next to any surviving characters but a new series with new characters and possibly setting, I would watch.
Overall, far fetched but compulsive viewing. 8/10.
