In a world where so much of TV can feel rather heavy or bleak, it’s nice to escape into a silly little teen drama. Where characters, plotlines, and dialogue are hopelessly entertaining, but also at times ridiculous, and reminiscent of an era of soapy television that feels easy on the brain. However,’s attempt at blending emotionally-driven YA stories with intense murder mystery doesn’t quite hit the mark.
In the Season 1 finale “One of Us Is Dead,” the Bayview Four, along with Simon’s best friend Janae Matthews discover that Addy’s ex-boyfriend Jake has been the one manipulating and framing them. As the group are chased into the woods at gunpoint, the season ends with Jake shot dead and Murder Club now harboring a secret that truly has their lives on the line.
Season 2 picks up immediately after those events, with a looming anonymous figure known as “Simon Says” threatening to expose the group’s deadly secret if they don’t obey commands. From smashing cars on the school campus to stealing money from cash registers, the introduction of “Simon Says” provides a much more compelling storyline, as the show shifts into a darker, more thrilling tone.
