See more Erik K @RT83326342 8 hrs ago Can’t stop watching the episodes, and the women’s study lessons at the beginning of each episode are amazing. Everyone knows the ending from the original, but they bring it back and add a new twist with “others” See more Ruben G @HoTToucH 9 hrs ago Wow, what an incredible twist on the formula. I can’t possibly talk about this without spoiling it but it’s an incredible twist. A must watch by every sense of the word See more Vixo S @vixo_six 9 hrs ago Carrie’s first season succeeds when it updates the story through cyberbullying, abuse, mental health, school violence, and the cruelty that turns suffering into entertainment. Summer H. Howell and Matthew Lillard give the series real weight, but some adult-looking teenage casting and the softened physical characterization of Carrie weaken the meaning of her humiliation. Arthur Conti’s Billy also feels almost irrelevant. My biggest problem is the finale, which fragments the prom massacre to introduce a wider mythology that feels like a strange X-Men or "X-Women" detour. I liked much more than I disliked, but I hope a second season proves this is still Carrie’s story. See more Allan D @RT50770450 10 hrs ago Was skeptical initially that there needs to be yet another version of this story, but eventually was sucked in by the new take on Margaret White, the gradual and more realistic radicalization of Chris Hargensen and her family dynamics, and the mysterious teen, Emmaline, who resulted ion a genuine holy-shit moment. The character of Carrie wasn't super compelling to me, but the actress is very watchable and did a decent job of inhabiting the character. I was a little confused by the meme-culture cyber-bullying but that's not my generation. Other gripes were that Sue Snell and Tommy Ross were pretty boring and passive and the student riot felt kind of forced. See more Read all reviews
