Harper's Island

[flat-top]

Anyone else watching this on Thursday nights?
I kinda like it.
"Harper's Island melds Scream and Agatha Christie .The idea behind Harper's Island is -- pun intended -- disarmingly simple. Harper's Island is a 13-week whodunit that combines elements of the Scream and Friday the 13th movies with such Agatha Christie murder mysteries as And Then There Were None. Only Christie's stories never featured chainsaws or "whaling instruments." No matter how Harper's Island fares in the ratings, CBS has committed to airing all 13 episodes of the whodunit."

i'd go with "pretty okay" overall.

a little too soap opera at times.

I really don't understand why it seems so many people are giving it such hostile flak. The visceral reaction is just so out of proportion, it makes no sense to me. No, the show's not deep, no it's not really scary, but it has a hook, and keeps your attention (or at least mine), and the acting's fine. I didn't have some unrealistic expectation for this show, so I just enjoy it for what it is, light summer suspense viewing, and am pleased. By the way, my comments are totally unrelated to anyone on this site, I've just browsed a few other forums where people have this irrational hatred of the show, and it's boggling.
