Scream - Season One

I admit that TV is not something I watch frequently as there's plenty of incredibly popular programmes I have yet see of which include House of Cards, Breaking Bad and anything Marvel (except for one episode of Jessica Jones). That said, however, as a horror fan and a fan of the Scream franchise I did check out the TV series of Scream.With the new series about to start, I thought I'd review the first series.

The Do-over

It’s becoming common place to see films released on demand whilst they're still in the cinemas. Unsurprisingly, theatres aren’t too keen on this but some films just aren't worth the price of the big screen experience not because they’re not any good but because they’re just not suitable for the big screen. In the case of Netflix, however, they aren’t even getting a cinematic release, films such as Beasts of No Nation and Adam Sandler’s The Ridiculous 6 were released exclusively on Netflix.
