Cruel Summer

[Bumzoo]

Apologies if there's a thread for this already but it's brilliant and I need do discuss it.

Where can I watch this please? I’ve seen it recommended but not sure where I can see it

Thanks

when and where is it on?

Is it on Netflix?

It's on an American channel I think, I'm not sure if it's on Netflix.

I googled and it seems to be coming via Prime some time later this year

Im watching now.. it's good 🌷

This is now on Amazon Prime.

Just finished watching it. It sure has some twists and turns

Just going to start this, it looks good

I'm half way through. Finding it a bit frustrating, want them to push on to the big stuff.

Watching this on prime and I feel the same @jay55

Bingeing it right now with my 15 year old DD.
I find it fascinating- talk about twisting tropes.

By the way is it me or is Jeanette really unlikeable?

It's very well written and the teenage actors are just brilliant 🎉

We've just finished episode 5. There are some very powerful moments and I genuinely don't know where it is going to go. Talk about toxic mothers though...

Just finished it yesterday. Loved it. What do you want to talk about?

After 5 episodes MAYBE SPOILERS

really feel for Kate, and can't bear Jeanette. (DD feels the same). I also find Mallory a very stifling friend, the kind who would give you massive grief for going out for a drink with friends without including her.

Finished it yesterday, lots of twists and anyone feeling it is dragging a bit in the middle it does get better again as it goes on. Some might be put off this excellent drama thinking it is just for teens, I'm old and found it good.

Whilst I found it slow, I did enjoy the last episode and the ending.

I don't find it slow- each episode feels like there are pieces of a jigsaw gradually slotting into place and the bigger picture is slowly taking shape.
I am loving it, and I am an adult! I think even as parents we can still remember and relate to the awkwardness of teenage cliques.

I wish we could talk about it in more details because there are a couple of things that are just slightly bugging me.

its great ... I watched it with my teen age daughter..

we thoroughly enjoyed the twists 🎉

That's exactly how I felt about Mallory. She was just a bit too much.

POTENTIAL SPOILER

Wasn't impressed with how the boyfriend pretty much faced no consequences for his actions - he hit Jeanette and she went back to him, and although his friend who was in the car accident with him didn't exactly forgive him, where were the drink driving charges? Unless I missed that bit.

Also I can remember Jeanette's dad when he was young, playing Jimmy Olson in Lois and Clark!

The 90s music jarred a bit. I mean, I know why they couldn't use originals, but the constant covers felt weird.

Yes he was awful .. hitting her was appalling and there should have been consequences 🌸

There were some original songs, I think the covers were because it would cost too much to use the originals?
I am now on episode 8 and am dying to discuss it more.
