Recently, I watched this new MTV series called Scream which is based on the Scream movie franchise. When the trailer was first released, there were a lot of negative criticisms ranging from people saying that "it's gonna suck" and that "they're never going to watch it". Well guess what? When the first episode was released, a lot of people were saying the premise and pilot were quite good and couldn't wait to watch more of it. Of course, from its first ep, there were negative reviews as well but overall it was a good first impression.
For me, since I mentioned that I got really addicted to it, of course I enjoyed it! Just like the Scream movies, the tv series retained that killer donned in the black costume and a creepy mask. Also, since it's the modern age, not only did the killer used phone calls to communicate but also text messages which raise the suspense factor.
So, the story is about this high school girl named Emma Duval who gets harassed by an unknown caller and had the people being killed around her. At first I found Emma a bit annoying because she would just go off on her own and leave herself and others in jeopardy by being separated. But as the show progresses, she proved to be a strong and brave female lead. The killer obviously does not care about her welfare since the killer ruthlessly left her guilty for the deaths of her close friends and the events of episode 7 left her completely traumatized. I really felt bad for her because the killer targeted her because her mother was involved in the Brandon James case years ago.
Currently, two episodes are left before the killer(s) is/are eventually revealed and I have some confident guesses who they are in my head. The good news is that this show is renewed for the second season so clearly either the mystery of Brandon James has a continuation or there'll be a brand new mystery altogether in the new season.
