What do you think? Do you like the Dead of Summer TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
this show is amazing i look forward to it every tuesday. its like a mix of horror and drama that leaves you in suspense. You guys just need to give this show a chance and maybe you’ll like it. My personal opinion one of the best shows i have ever watched.
I love this show, i look forward to it every Tuesday.
this show is actually very good even though it doesn’t look like it will survive for a second season it really catches me off guard and i look forward to watching it every week.
I really enjoy watching DOS, it’s my little piece of heaven on Tuesday nights once I get my children to sleep. I will be really upset if it doesn’t survive for a second season! It’s really getting interesting and I love how each episode leaves you wanting to know more.
Dead of Summer sucks as an 80s horror show. The net flex show Stranger Things IS an *0s horror show which has actually great children actors in it and is a superior show. DOS has very bad writing and acting. It’s becoming a cliche having thirty year old actors portraying kids. What can you expect from the show runners of Once Upon A Time? They ruined that show too. I am hoping years from now some network actually films the graphic novel Fables as a show and we finally get a groundbreaking retelling of fairy tales.
You’re wrong, the actors in this show are in their early 20’s not their 30’s. This is not the 80’s where adults play kids. They’re playing there exact ages on the show btw. The show gets better if you had just continued on watching it.
Honestly you did not understand The show. Go to imdb. This show is awesome. Find out more on what the show was about not if 13 years old were supposed portray a child.
I thought this show started out great, but as it kept going it got worse and worse. Now it’s unwatchable. I don’t understand how a show that started out so good got so bad.
Yes dEads of summer turned out great for a summer show.I for one watcheday all the episodesame and actually go into them.it could just take time to watch them
I really enjoy this show. No, it’s not groundbreaking, but it’s pure Summer entertainment. And I love it!
I’ve just finished season 1 and I liked it, hope they come back with a second season. The action is slow, but I kinda like that, they don’t tell you everything on the first season, which is good. They tell you what they need you to know. I wanna know why the ‘master is going to be happy’ (the scene of the kiss on the beach).
How could you finish dead of summer when it’s only 5 to 6 episodes in first season?
There’s 10. Just got done watching the last episode
Not the worst show ever, but not very good.I Watched the first episode on Freeform today and it just wasn’t good. I have a lot of friends who praise this show, but it’s very disappointing.
This show isn’t good at all. The acting is terrible, the writing is sloppy and the show is just so bad. I wouldn’t force my worst enemy to watch this show. If you don’t watch this show but want to start watching it, don’t waste your time. Worst show ever created
I for wrong think you have your opinion on this show.but let people that want to seeat it watch it. I it comeseems back there is this thing were you can switch chanels I hate when people say don’t waste your time.
I meant writing not rating
I really enjoy the show I am hoping that it comes back for another season. I like the genre. I think the actors are very good so is the rating.
Please all of you stop watching this show. The ratings are pretty low but they need to be lower. Please stop watching this show. It terrifies children and pushes and LGBT agenda. Stop now!!!
seriously we live in the 21 st century
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE DON’T TELL YOU WHAT TO WATCH DON’T BE TELL THEM. AND SECOND OFF LGBT IS GOOD TO HAVE ON THE SHOW ESPECIALLY WHEN INTODAY’S SOCIETY THERE ARE MANY OUT THERE THAT ARE INTO THE SAME SEX.GET OVER IT. BETTER YET GET INTO THIS CENTURY. And freeform is a liberal channel
I actually thoroughly enjoy this show. I don’t find it that scary, but very entertaining. I’m hoping it survives for a second season.
This show needs to be cancelled. It is very violent and will terrify children. Please don’t watch this show. What happened to the days where television producers were considerate that children could be watching. Instead of watching this violent show try out shows like Mork and Mindy, Boy Meets World, Full House, Fuller House, Reba, Home Improvement, Webster, Walker Texas Ranger, and Murder she Wrote.
What exactly was terrifying? What ages are the children you are talking about? This was corny but definitely entertaining. A step up from goosebumps/are you afraid of the dark, but not quite scary as a Friday the 13th
Ther are aculy some jumpscares ! But when you than watch the episode you are not scared anymore! I Cant wait for EPisode five! And even if this show doesnt survife for an second season its ok becaus its an Ons eason storyline and next season would be a notehr year ( like adam sayed mayby 2014 or 1950s) but i am disapointet that like noone give sthis show an real chance! ITS an VERY good writen show ok! Its just that everyone is TO critic thes days that nonone likes ANYTHING! I also cant wait for OUAT season 6!… Read more »
Ikr it’s seem like everything gets cancelled these days 🙁
Are you seriously incapable of turning to another channel?
TV producers aren’t in charge of what a child watches. Parents are.
THE CHANNEL THE SHOW IS ON IS A LIBERAL CHANNEL
