  • This show keeps you on the edge of your seat. I always think I know the killer, then a new plot twist throws me off.

    It's hard to tell the red herrings from the actual clues, but that's half the fun. Every week the new episode always has me thinking for the rest of the week, until the next episode airs. The only negative thing I have to say about this show is the fact that it was designed to only last one season, so next year I'm going to be missing it. I'm hoping right now that the ratings will be good for the rest of the season, and maybe a simular series might pop up next year. I've got a pretty good idea of who the killer could be, but who knows? By next week I'll probably have a whole new theory.moreless

  • Strangely fun for a cheesy show.

    While I usually find shows like this one, cheesy shows that is, hard to watch, there was something different about this show. The acting was so-so, the plot's twists and turns were silly, and there wasn't really any emotion depth to the characters at all. I'm not saying the actors were bad, I'm just saying they really didn't have much to work with.
     Whilelogicallyit was a bad show, it was asurprisingly fun "clue" like puzzle spread over a season of 13 episodes. In each episode someone dies, there's new twists andsuspicion is thrown to someone else. The question is: who is this serial killer.
     I enjoyed greatly which was a surprise since I'm not really all that into this genre. Just don't take it too seriously. Sit back, relax, and watch and you might have a good time with it.
     Also I just have to note that one of the biggest problems the show faced was it's network. It was no surprise that CBScanceled it (while it was a surprise they let it play out all its episodes) for CBS tends to cancel any show that don't fall into the crime-procedural genre or isn't a comedy. I think had this been on Syfy than it might still be on the air. But that's just myopinion.moreless

  • Harper's Island was a perfect, short-running murder mystery that drew my attention.

    My review: Harper's Island wasn't really a long-running show, but all 13 episodes were fantastic and should be viewed by anybody who likes horror or mystery shows.

  • I loved this mini-series!

    I actually miss this show so much! Although it was a mini-series, it was very interesting. It was just like watching a brand new horror movie every week for three months. Chloe and Kal were my favorite couple on the show. I bawled my eyes out when they both died :( Of course, Henry and Trish were cute together, until we figured out what happened in the finale!

    i dont want to give to much away so this is what ill say about this show. the acting is good. the murder scenes are so bloddy and dramatic i love it. i love how you have to try and figure out who the killer is.
    the only bad thing i will say about the show is that there are so many characters that when some of them die you dont really care about them b/c you dont know to much about that person.
    the story u can 4get alot of stuff b/c its like one long movie.
    overall this is anokay show it could be better.moreless
