Posted March 21, 200916 yr Ecoamuy_Ftc BBC3 have just picked up the rights to this, and it looks like it is going to be epic. I've seen the old pilot episode way, way back when they had a load of different actors and it was very good. Basivally the whole premise of the show if there's a wedding on Harper's Island, and one by one the guests begin to be murdered. The show is going to last 13 weeks and in each episode 1 character is going to die, with the killer finally being revealed on July the 2nd. CBS are throwing a lot of money behind the show for a mid-season which is good. It stars Katie Cassidy and Jim Beaver.
March 22, 200916 yr coooooool it's been a while since we've had a good murder mystery... my concern is that its American which means the murderer will just be the British one surely?
March 22, 200916 yr Author coooooool it's been a while since we've had a good murder mystery... my concern is that its American which means the murderer will just be the British one surely? Who knows. I'm expecting the Murderer to be a main character though. :lol: Here's the main cast though: Matt Barr as Christopher 'Sully' Sullivan Jim Beaver as Sheriff Charlie Mills Amber Borycki as Beth Barrington Richard Burgi as Thomas Wellington Adam Campbell as Cal Elaine Cassidy as Abby Mills Katie Cassidy as Trish Wellington Dean Cechvala as J.D. Dunn Ben Cotton as Shane Pierce Chris Gauthier as Malcolm Ross Christopher Gorham as Henry Dunn Harry Hamlin as Uncle Marty Gina Holden as Shea Allen David Lewis as Richard Allen Claudette Mink as Katherine Wellington Cameron Richardson as Chloe C.J. Thomason as Jimmy Mance Ali Liebert as Nikki Bolton
April 11, 200916 yr Author This is very good btw. I saw the pilot earlier... its a bit cheesy in some places (ok, very :lol:) and I still can't work little bits and pieces out. You can definitely tell who they're setting the killer up to be but its blatantly not them.
April 11, 200916 yr Blah. :/ Opening was bad in my opinion. It's a nice concept (clearly based off Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, but an interesitng take nonetheless), but the choppy / clumsy writing really gets in the way. It's really boring overall besides the murder scenes. And you don't really care about any of the characters. I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to mysteries, as well. We shall see if this improves.

We shall see if this improves. I thought it was really good. Perfect setting for a murder mystery, and alright the acting varied from very good (Jim Beaver espec) to the quite bad, but in shows like this you've gotta look past that. The only characters I like so far are the 3 main characters + the sheriff and I don't really care for any of the others thus far. BUT I sort of got the impression that we're not meant to warm to the characters.
April 12, 200916 yr That's true. I just hope that it takes the angle of more a murder mystery rather than a slasher/horror tv show that's all about the grizzly deaths, that's my main worry. As it was just an introduction, I'm sure it'll get better/more intense as it goes on. The boat scene was the best part of the first episode though, really set the tone.
April 18, 200916 yr Author Really liking this. It's a bit TOO soapie for my liking, but its definitely going to get more interesting now imo as they've got to find out that people are being killed next week. I think as it goes on it will get more interesting too as there'll be less characters and more room for development. I've no idea who the killer is at the moment, the most obvious two are Hunter Jennings and JD, but at the moment I definitely don't think its JD - FAR too obvious. My top 3 guesses at the moment are the Bride's dad, Abi, and Abi's old boyfriend! I have the feeling there could be two killers however.
April 27, 200916 yr Its definitely improving now that we start to know who all those people are and know a bit more of their backstory. Offtopic, how HOT and GORGEOUS does Katie Cassidy look? :o She was always beautiful but she looks stunning here. Plus at first I didnt really notice it was her, the role is totally different to Ruby in SPN, even the way she talks. She deffo has some skills :)

I normally prefer blondes, but she pulls off being a brunette so well (well she is naturally brunette). She's quite a decent actress, but her dad was in some big American show back in the day. I think i've worked out the killer too.
April 27, 200916 yr She's doing Melrose Place in the fall, will check that out. Share your thoughts on the killer please! I'm thinking Abby might be it
April 28, 200916 yr I think it would be too obvious though, they've been shoving it down our throats that he's creepy and kinda fits the "nerdy killer" type too well
May 10, 200916 yr Author Episode 5 is where it really heats up. Lots of big reveals. :o Seems like the killings are all going to start to come to light now. I could see Henry's death a mile off. I've watched too many shows to know when a character redeems themselves they're going to die. I'm starting to wonder if the killer is JUST Wakefield now seeing as we've seen he's alive...
May 12, 200916 yr I really hope Daddy Wellington isnt dead, he was decent in this episode, and I got where he came from concerning Henry. Trish had a really sucky day, and congrats on her being the first character I actually care what happens to. Finally some explaining on the missing people, the next episode with the wedding will be chaotic :D Too bad about the 2 week hiatus :(
May 14, 200916 yr I dunno, I've watched a few eps now and don't really like it but am sure I'll keep watching just so I know how it ends. :P
May 21, 200916 yr I've only watched the first three episodes, and so far I really like it. It's very easy to watch, and I'm always really surprised to see who's murdered in each episode. And Elaine Cassidy = EPIC. She's so pretty too. ^_^ I think she's one of my favorite Irish actresses. Sully is a good character. Not sure about Cal though, he's a bit weird, but the guy who plays him is a really good actor. I'm not going to read any spoilers for this one, and I haven't even read this topic just in case. ^_^
June 10, 200916 yr Author I am loving this show at the moment. The end of the last episode was soooo good. Can't think for the life of me who the killer is though... that is unless there's two people in on it! I really do think it's gonna be Chloe or Cal... or both.
