Cruel Summer TV Series Review

 Hey my lovely Chameleons. In today's blog I am going to talk about a new show that came out on ABC Sparks on April 20, 2021, and that is Cruel Summer. Sorry that this review is a week late after the 2 hour premiere, which is basically 2 episode, an hour each. I usually wait till episode 3 do a review, but I thought 2 episodes were good. I need to catch up on the third episode and I didn't really want this blog to come out a week after April 23.

On April 20, 2021 ABC Sparks came out with a new show, called Cruel Summer. For any of you Chameleons you don't know this show, here's what it's about; A small Texas town, Skyline, when a beautiful popular teen, Kate is abducted and, seemingly unrelated, a girl, Jeannette, goes from being a sweet, awkward outlier to the most popular girl in town, and by 1995, the most despised person in America.

In March I was watching TV and I saw a trailer for this show. A girl who looked like Olivia Holt caught my eye. I decided to see if that was Olivia Holt. I see that it was, and I read the description for this show a few times to make it make sense to me, see if I understand what the show is about. I wanted to check the show out. Then out on April 20, 2021. I forgot about the show and on April 24, I was on Instagram and I was looking threw InstaStories. I was viewing LovelyLike Laura's story and she post up a poll asking if we checked out Cruel Summer or not yet. After I pushed Not Yet, I turned on my TV and went to Video On Demon to see if the show was on there. It was. So I watched the first 2 episodes. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do a TV Series Review. Here we are lol. For my brain it was hard to follow 3 different times and the flashback. it took some time. I got most of what the story is about. I enjoy this show, but will see if I end up loving this show. As for Olivia Holt, I am a fan of hers, but I feel with acting she can't break out of that Disney star actress and play edgy. What I mean is her last non Disney series was Cloak & Dagger and that only lasted for 2 seasons from 2018-2019.
