Who would I recommend this to?
If you like twists and turns and darkness and not knowing which way is up...this is for you.

What is this about?
A teen girl goes missing and another girl goes from geek to chic to freak over three summers.

When would be a good time to watch this?
ASAP.

Where does it take place?
Skylin, Texas. 1993, 1994, and 1995.

Why did I decide to watch this?
The internet was abuzz about it and it seemed interesting.

How did I like this?
I was hooked by the end of the first episode. What in the world is going on?! Every single episode had a twist. Some were subtle, some were huge, all were shocking. That finale though? OMG OMG OMG?!?!?!? Those last ten seconds?! That smile?! OMG OMG WTF?!?!?!

I really liked this format of having one episode follow Jeanette, then the next following Kate, and both alternating between the three subsequent summers. It kept up a nice pace and made you want to know the other girl's side of the story as you're watching.

Have you seen Cruel Summer? What did you think?
If not, would you watch it?
