description

"Cruel Summer" is a television series that premiered in April 2021 on the Freeform network in the United States. It is a psychological thriller that follows two teenage girls, Jeanette Turner and Kate Wallis, living in a small Texas town in the 1990s. Jeanette is an unpopular girl who idolizes Kate, a popular girl with a seemingly perfect life. However, Kate goes missing one day, and Jeanette starts to become more popular while Kate's life unravels.

The series is told through a nonlinear narrative, with each episode taking place in a different year between 1993 and 1995, and alternating between Jeanette and Kate's perspectives. As the story unfolds, viewers see how the girls' lives intersected and how their relationships with each other and those around them changed over time. There are many twists and turns throughout the series, and viewers are left guessing about what really happened to Kate until the final episode.

The series has received positive reviews for its suspenseful plot and strong performances by its cast, particularly its three leads: Olivia Holt as Kate, Chiara Aurelia as Jeanette, and Froy Gutierrez as Jamie, a friend of both girls. "Cruel Summer" has also been praised for its portrayal of complex teenage relationships and the impact of trauma on young people.

The Event

Sean Walker plans to propose to his girlfriend Leila while they luxuriate on a Caribbean cruise. Instead, Sean suffers severe cruise interruption when Leila mysteriously disappears, and his desperate search for her leads him into a tangled web of inter-terrestrial intrigue. Equally desperate, disoriented, and terrified, Leila is trapped in an undisclosed location. "The Event" TV show fills-in the back-story as the current drama unfolds: As World War II drew to a close, an alien craft crashed in Alaska; government scientists determined the passengers were 99% identical to humans, but that radical 1% difference has the capacity to wreak havoc on the American population, among whom several of the survivors have been hiding and thriving. The CIA, naturally, has kept this information super-top-secret until technology beyond current human capacity foils an assassination attempt on President Elias Martinez. Which of these historic developments officially qualifies as "The Event" TV series remain approximately as uncertain as the reasons why Sean and Leila must forego serious tanning for all of this intrigue.

House of Anubis

Maybe the best written and most entertaining teen soap since Dark Shadows is running on the Nickelodeon network. Following the lives of eight teenagers who happen to all reside in Anubis House, a United Kingdom boarding house, the cast includes an American female, Nina Martin who is living there with her grand mother after the death of her parents. Other youthful residents include Patricia (Jade Ramsey), Nina (Nathalia Ramos), Sarah (Rita Davies), and a missing Joy (Klariza Clayton). When Joy comes up missing at about the same time that Nina arrives suspicion is pointed at her. A rather scary caretaker, Victor Rodenmaar (played by Francis Magee), is determined to get rid of any evidence that Joy was ever there. An ancient necklace plays a part as do some wax cylinders found in the attic. Friends Fabian Rutter (Brad Kavanaugh), Alfie Lewis (Alex Sawyer), and Amber Millington (Ana Ten) help Nina investigate the mysteries they find in the old house. They form a group and call it Sibuna which is Anubis spelled in reverse. Plenty of ongoing relationships between the eight teens as they explore their aged residence (named for an Egyptian god Anubis).

Ben, a therapist, had an affair with a student that shook the marriage, caused his wife to miscarry, and seriously upset his daughter. So why don't they just move from the scary house?
