Carrie on Amazon Prime

Anyone else watched this? Just finished and thought it was excellent.

Loved it!

Best thing we've seen in ages. Watched it with my 14 year old and we loved how they'd modernised(is that even a word?😁) it with the phones. We re watched the film with daughter who'd never seen It and found it dull in comparison. Same with IT to be fair,and I love Tim Curry 😥

Yes it’s very well adapted for the modern day. Theres a small scene in the 2nd last episode I think where it looks like they’ve changed the rules on phones which are now handed in, and it shows everyone in class actually taking to each other like normal people for once.

Quite fancy it but am a bit of a wimp….how scary is it?

I really thought the characterisation of the kids was very well done. Would be very easy to have just had black and white characters but instead what you have is a load of pretty normal kids going though stuff, and ultimately defined by their choices.

I would argue it’s not scary at all. There’s no jump scares and it’s quite different to Mike Flannagans previous work.
Lots of swearing though.

Stranger things level of scary I think.

I really enjoyed it and liked how they wove different elements into it and modernised it.

It was brilliant Such a cool and fresh take for a timeless story involving bullying👏. Can't wait for the next series. One of my favourite things about the show is that they used a trans actor to play the somewhat mean but redeemable hot girl Tina. I recognised her from when she was in other stuff pre-transition. ❤️

I enjoyed it. Thought the casting was excellent.

The ending of the penultimate episode was really good, when she closed her eyes, screen went black and then screams.

I wasn't so keen on the ending though and how it seems to be setting up for a future series about young people with special powers, which there's been a lot of.
I think it's best left as a complete story in itself. And I'd have preferred Emmeline to have just been a figment of her imagination.
