"The Reboot That Keeps Viewers Hooked"
Similar Storyline to the Original Movie
The show follows the lives of step-siblings Caroline and Lucien as they strive to maintain their social status at Manchester College. Just like in the movie, they get entangled in a hazing scandal and then set out to seek revenge on their nemesis Annie Grover, who is the daughter of the Vice President. This familiar storyline keeps viewers engaged, as they can compare and contrast the new version with the original.As the story unfolds on the small screen, fans have taken to social media to share their diverse opinions. On X (formerly Twitter), one person noted, "The #CruelIntentions reboot is predictably bad, but once you detach from comparing it to the greatest movie ever made, it becomes an enjoyable watch in a tacky, addictive way. The main pair lacks the necessary chemistry, but the supporting cast saves the day. It's also more inclusive than the original."
Another fan expressed their enthusiasm, writing, "i want another season IM SEATED FOR ANOTHER ONE." This shows that there is a significant demand for more of the show. Another echoed similar sentiments, stating, "so most of us are in agreement that cruel intentions actually turned out to be a decent reimagining and s2 could only make the show better??" It's clear that some viewers are looking forward to more episodes.
Viewer Reactions - Mixed Bag
While some viewers were pleased with the reboot, others had a different opinion. One disappointed viewer wrote, "The #CruelIntentions series is worse than I could have ever imagined." This shows that not everyone was satisfied with the new version. Another added, "I can't handle episode 8; the way I reacted at the end was disturbing. I almost wanted to crawl into a ball and gouge my eyes out again." Such strong reactions highlight the polarizing nature of the reboot.A third viewer chimed in, saying, "i binged the #cruelintentions remake and i thought it was a limited series, but it doesn't even have a proper ending. It leaves viewers hanging, which is quite frustrating." This indicates that the lack of a clear conclusion is a major drawback for some.
Despite the mixed reactions, the television reboot of "Cruel Intentions" has managed to capture the attention of viewers. Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that it has sparked a lot of discussion and debate. As the series continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how it evolves and whether it can win over more fans.
