I definitely recommend watching this movie especially if your a fan of the mystery/thriller genre.

The plot is solid throughout and starts with showing us the popular it couple of cheerleader Nicole Voss (Ari Meyers) and Captain of the football team Greg Dunleavy (Mark Kassen) however, what Nicole doesn't realise is that for months he's been seeing Emily DeCapprio (Soleil Moon Frye) as well. It all comes to a head when Emily tells Greg she's pregnant and after his attempts to persuade Emily to get rid of the baby fail he's left with only one option and that's murder.

The acting throughout the movie from all actors is great. In particular the scenes between the neglected daughter Nicole and Emily's distraught mother Tina played by the fantastic Tess Harper are excellent as, they form a unique friendship both looking for something their missing which they find in each others company.

The film also touches on issues such as class divide and small town influence. I also, like that the writers drop subtle tells that Greg is unravelling as the pressure grows and that they actually tried to humanise the killer in this movie which, is most notable in the final scene which Greg, Nicole and Tina share at the warehouse.

Give this movie a watch you won't be disappointed.

Let's be honest nothing is going to live up to the amazing 1992 film which, we all love and adore. However, this series does a wonderful job of not just retelling the story of the peaches but putting its own spin on it.

The series plot and storytelling are fantastic which in turn makes you want to route for your favourite character and learn more about each character and their background.

True the series doesn't just focus mainly on the baseball aspect of things I've seen a few people complain about this in their reviews of the series. However, this is because the series highlights and touches on a variety of issues not just pertaining to baseball. These include the usual standout main ones such as racism, sexism and homophobia and also, some issues that don't stand out straight away. Such as, loneliness and what the effect of having someone be told false information consistently throughout their life can do to a person.

One issue that did stand out to me with the series is how the character of Dove abruptly left the show. Another issue not with the show itself but it's creators Amazon is that they really dropped the ball in marketing the show and advertising the show, probably due to them being too preoccupied with that abysmal rings of power anyway...

I really hope the show gets a second season I would love to see them explore more of the other characters backgrounds. True it isn't like the film but, the series carves its own path and it's a good one at that.

I just found this campy, intriguing, hilarious gem of a show. Alright some of the acting isn't the best I'll admit that. Also, Nadine Nicole's character Van definitely deserved better when she is arguably one of the biggest fan favorites of the show.

However, I find it to be one of those rare shows that even though you know it's not the best you can't help but keep watching and get invested with the plot and it's wonderful characters like, devilish moon witch Grace played by the amazing Tracy Scoggins which, is exactly what happened to me. I couldn't get enough of Dante's Cove and all of it's crazy mysterious inhabitants that much that I binged watched all three magical seasons.

I also found it refreshing that the majority of characters on the show were of the LGBTQ community which are rare shows to find. It's a shame they never did a season 4 if only to give all of the fantastic characters the ending they deserved.
