Hello, Emma.

Another young death, as the killer strikes again.

It's a slow burner that's for sure, as with the first episode, this second spends most of the time giving us more of an insight into the kids, and giving us the shock, we don't as yet know much about the older generation as yet.

The murder itself is pretty grizzly, but it takes in comparison to the self harming scenes, they are perhaps a bit much.

Some of the horror clichés are already on display, but all have been well done, so they're forgiven.

Very enjoyable, 8/10.

I think this is what we're going to be getting a lot of from this show. It wasn't a problem in the pilot because most of it was used introducing the characters, the setting, the conflicts, and whatnot. This episode is mostly spent with characters talking to each other, which is never a good idea for a slasher show and sure as hell not with such terrible actors. But there were a few decent segments here and there, mostly because they hearkened back to the original Scream. I still think there are too many characters, and literally only two are worth caring about. Hopefully as the show goes on and the ensemble gets smaller and smaller, the show will be a lot less cringe-worthy CW esque dialogue and more straightforward mystery suspense.

Overall, it was a forgettable episode. Not surprising since the show is still trying to find its stride. The potential is still there.

This show so far is pretty lukewarm at best. but this episode was worth the review solely for the final scene that definitely plays most like the original film series, and so hopefully they start rolling with that a little bit. still, scream is supposed to really suck you in with the first scene. every scream movie always finds a clever way to begin the movies. this tv show really started off with a lowpar kill. still, it last 3 seasons so there's gotta be something that kept some people coming back. and the final scene in this episode definitely shows potential:

A good level of suspense is kept up throughout the episode, though it might have worked better to draw out the initial horror scene. Acting is decent and storyline is interesting.

This episode served to solidify the path that Scream will make, and we can see that drama and death are gonna be part of it. This is a TV show, so it needs to be stretched, and with that it looks like we're gonna see more of the teens lives, and fell in love with some and hate others, and then Ghostface strikes. It looks like the game is on, and we'll see more and more blood than we think.

Honestly, I like the way Scream is going, it's different, it's drama and horror together, and the show will grow and grow by each episode, so I'm certainly stay tuned for more. If people leave aside their arrogance, Scream can really show the best of it.
