"How Anna Rexia speaks" is in itself scary and funny if anorexia tells you something, and you listen to it.😱🙂 But it's more scary.😨

After the signature of the cast on Shelby's hand and the words "bye girlfriend", it became obvious that River and "best friend forever" are familiar. But I didn't think there would be such an ending.

In general, the series is not bad, not scary, but instructive and not bad.

Oh! What a deep and disturbing series, the actors coped perfectly. Yes, I will give the series a high rating precisely because of what topic was raised here, how everyone was able to build, how everything turned out for them, and in fact the series really turned out to be good!
Initially, it seemed to me that it was the teacher (his image from season 11 of the original does not get out of my head) or even River himself, but no, everything is even worse for Shelby.
I foresee another negative to this spin-off, so I would like to remind you that horrors are not always some wildly scary monsters, scary moments that make us tremble.
What happened in this series with the girl is the same (American) horror story, this is the very horror that we experienced while watching this series.

A good story that was put into one episode. For some reason, it immediately occurred to me that the guy is familiar with the "best friend", perhaps they met before she met gg, but it's just strange that a guy kills a girl who loves him so much and even chooses an educational institution to be closer to him. A story about how we can be manipulated by "friends" and it doesn't matter if they are on the Internet or in real life)

@SidRaccoon: here's an interesting question by the way, how Rivera hooked the so-called "Girlfriend" that he traded Shelby for her. The girl loved him, was ready for anything, even to go where he needed to, and in the end. It turns out that this "Friend" is a skilled manipulator, who is able to sit down on his ears like that. In principle, it is a vivid example of sectarianism and how cleverly people are zombified and subdued.

@SvetikWolf: River is also disabled. Perhaps it was on this hook of similarity that his Girlfriend caught him. He also had to deal with bullying because of his physical condition, probably she deftly played on this similarity - so he felt a kinship, got involved, so to speak.

@Milena_Main: yes, there is one conclusion, there are such people as leeches and energy vampires who play on other people's weaknesses, outcasts and who are rejected by society, subjugating themselves and doing everything that no one needs but them.
There is a TV series based on real events, "Pretense", where it seems to me the same subordination goes to the guy who then pisses her off.

I was so upset by the ending, I predicted it almost immediately, I thought there would be something more original ((

The whole plot is very coolly built and the story itself is unusual, with some kind of modern approach to the structure of horror films and original images popular among modern teenagers. But the ending is so formless...(SPOILERS!) River's storyline was so stupidly merged, there was absolutely no chemistry between him and Bestie all this time, what was the reason to kill a loved one for her sake, what could she give you that you would really decide on such a thing. And the whole episode, he didn't feel like some kind of codependent guy, there was nothing in his behavior that could precede an act like killing a person for someone who is important to him

I didn't like the ending terribly, but the rest of the series really gave me goosebumps

Psychologically, the story is tough, of course. Such manipulations are not uncommon not only with teenagers, adult insecure people can also be brainwashed, gradually increasing the degree of insanity.
The finale of the series is a little crumpled and predictable, but the series as a whole is not bad, it's sad for the heroine, only she has become more confident and "found herself", and here it is.
According to the guy - if it was a romcom - he would, of course, have fallen in love with the heroine in the end, and "understood everything", and in this case his motivation is not entirely clear, is he really that crazy too? It's also okay that he pretended to be in love for the sake of some "fun", but this pretence lasted for quite a long time, a normal person should have felt at least a little empathy during this time and realized that everything had gone too far. It's one thing to succumb to manipulation when you don't have support and close people, or to mix vomit powder to those who bother you, and another thing is to go to murder, and for what?.. In general, the final twist looks like "this is a turn" for the sake of "this is a turn".

By the way, the heroine's dad looks super-young.

@-TraumfraU-: it all started with small "pranks" and incrementally. In the same way, abusers are taught to "tolerate abuse", introducing it drop by drop into a state of normality - no "smart" abuser fucks his passion on the first date or even on the first month of a relationship, it all starts with instilling uncertainty in the victim of the correctness of her actions, and that "no one understands you except me" - the same thing was done by the girlfriend of g.
In addition, gg was very correct initially and used to "do as she was told", under the pretext of "rebellion" she still continued to do as she was told, only not her father, but her friend. Plus, she lacked a mother, lacked support and normal friends, so she fell for all the manipulations. It's not about stupidity, but emotional immaturity and lack of understanding of personal boundaries. And also that she got a manipulator at a moment of personal vulnerability.

You also tell me that only "stupid people" are being led to scammers - this is not so, it is possible for the smartest person at the moment to get so brainwashed that he will be led, and after a while, when he wakes up, he himself will think "how could it be so idiotic to buy into all this?"

The story is certainly interesting, but the setting was chosen unsuccessfully. first of all, who is being bullied for glasses now? In my super-toxic school back in those days, they didn't even say a word to me for glasses, and I graduated about 10 years ago. I understand that personal experience is not an argument, but it is still indicative. And in general, there seems to be a trend for tolerance now...
Plus, with all this awareness among modern youth about toxic relationships, abuse and personal boundaries, who could this super manipulator catch in her nets? A snotty nine-year-old, but not a girl who is at least 16. I don't know, maybe there are still such gullible people, but there are clearly fewer of them than before the era when children began to grow up with a smartphone in their hands.

Is this a straight-up series from the doorstep? The main character, of course, is extremely stupid even for a schoolgirl, but, firstly, she tries to improve, and, secondly, the atmosphere of the episode is excellent. Plus Seth Gable, plus the maniac from the AHS SPEED season. However, ten minutes wasn't enough for me yet, I could have told you a little more about the girlfriend. In general, I was completely sure that she was not a teenager, but some kind of mature maniac with her cult of the processed or a witch.

I take it that we will see this/this Anna Rexichka in one of the future episodes? A creepy character in a good way. As if from the "Astral". 😂

P.S. Oh, that damn Macbeth!

I'm just pleasantly surprised that such a good-looking series came out as part of this series.

The cast is solid: I knew my father from somewhere, but I didn 't remember where (fortunately, comments and superficial Googling told me where). The teacher was brilliant last season (and was just as good in this episode). The main character is like Chloe Savigno's daughter (or how her last name is spelled) . And SUDDENLY I found out in the comments that Barden was here, in the role of the Bestie of the main character, hohh))

And the whole first half of the series was good , but the final part came out somehow ... Strange and sudden . Although it was clear that this was an AI, which means that a particularly Happy Ending was not worth waiting for, but still, in general, this turn seemed strange, as if they had just made a turn for the sake of a turn =\
As if in words it all fits together, this Bestie was Bestie turns out not only with gg, but also with him, and in general she is all such a manipulator who finds the same vulnerable and accessible people for actual manipulation and that's it. But the screen does not show at all why River would have decided to play for such a long time for the sake of his best thing . It would be fine if they showed that they went straight from the theater to that house under some pretext - there is no doubt, it would be logical and cozy. But for the sake of turning and blurring the viewer 's eyes, the screenwriters had to make a cut from their parties and relationships . And it's precisely because of this that the ending seems strange that the dude has been pretending for so long for this ending.
It looked to me like that scene from South Park, where an undercover cop collected a ton of sperm in his anus for evidence and then after a couple of years shouted "Everyone stop, it's the police!" (Or whatever it was) . I mean, this move was overexposed there just for the comedic effect and it looked appropriate, but right there it looks like some kind of stupidity and absurdity =\
Well, okay, let's see what happens next in the season for the story :)
BFF 💗 :*

I thought Bestie's foster father would be a music teacher, especially when she made Shelby dress like that...

Если бы Сирша Ронан и Хлоя Севиньи могли иметь общую генетически дочь, то это была бы она.

В серии настолько прекрасные люди, что рука так и тянется к арматуре
Батя как исключение. Он классный

Серия хороша. Но как по мне, было бы лучше, если лучшую подружку сделали наоборот очень красивой, но например, прикованной к инвалидной коляске или что-то в этом роде. Уродство души, абьюзивные личности и энергетические вампиры часто скрываются наоборот за милыми и невинными личиками.
