When the show first started three months ago, I complained bitterly about how the cast was so huge that it was impossible to connect to any of the characters. Now that it’s over, I perversely feel like I’ve lost friends.
Remember all those psych meds that J.D. was taking? Apparently he should have been sharing them [...]
Geez Louise, have we ever had a body count this high in a single episode before?
So here I am, trying to be all objective and professional in my review, but no matter what I try to write, all that comes out is NOOOOOOO!!! Cal and Chloe! ::wails:: I am not in my happy fangirl place [...]
There are only three episodes left, and the next few kills are likely to be painful. The show is almost out of ancillary characters we don’t care that much about and will have to start killing off more central characters soon.
The entire episode was built around casting suspicion on Sheriff Mills as the killer. Someone [...]
According to this episode, I guessed right about a whole bunch of things. Since that almost never happens, excuse me while I gloat quietly for a moment………………………………………………………………..All done. On with the post.
I knew letting Shane out of jail was a bad idea. The first thing he did was show up at the inn to hold [...]
Yay! We’ve reached the ‘running around screaming’ portion of the horror movie. Everybody’s finally clear on the concept that they’re probably going to die.
So much for J.D. and Shane bonding over being helpless targets while locked up in jail together. First they tried to beat each other up through the bars of their adjoining cells, [...]
Mwah ha ha! The plot thickens.

Apologies for the lateness of this review. I was out of town last weekend and did not have access to a TV at the appropriate time. On with the show.
Things are finally starting to come together. Past victims are starting to turn up and minor plot points from previous episodes are starting to become significant. [...]
After two pretty straightforward soapy episodes, Harper’s Island finally got back to its old campy horror self.
Thomas and Trish Wellington decided to have some father-daughter bonding time via a bike ride out in the woods. Unfortunately, there was a shadowy scarred figure out there that took his ‘no trespassing’ signs way too seriously. First a [...]
After abruptly moving Harper’s Island to Saturdays due to less than impressive ratings, CBS announced that it would not be picking up the show for a second season. The network still plans to air all the remaining episodes. I can sympathize. After a promising start, this “mystery event” has settled into the well-worn territory of [...]
Starting May 2, Harper’s Island will air on Saturdays at 9:00 p.m. Eastern, instead of Thursday nights at 10:00 p.m. Eastern. CBS still plans to broadcast all of the episodes.
