Harper’s Island

It is finally here.

The mystery, the suspense.

Set on an island off Seattle, “Harper’s Island”, is like a mix of Lost and Cluedo rolled into one.

Who is the killer? Why are people getting killed? Is it a massacre? Is it for revenge? What is it for?

Episode one proves to be a bait. I am hooked.

Within the first ten minutes into the show, cousin Ben gets killed. Poor cousin Ben is tied to the ruddle and waiting for his death moments underneath the boat that is used to ferry the couple and their guests to Harper Island. He is equipped with an oxygen tank to keep him alive, till the very last moment where the ruddle is activated, and chop, he is unfortunately beheaded.

Before you can recover from shock, at the end of Episode one, the groom’s uncle gets slain. Technically, it was not really a swift kill, rather it was more of a Scream with the reaper’s knife chopping up the bottom half off. Gross? I concur.

Nobody knows who is going to get killed next.

One by one.

At the end of this limited 13-episode run, everyone is expected to die. Except the main lead, and perhaps the killer.

Wow…

I’m waiting. Who is next?
