	Author	Review
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The writers try to copy the conceit of the original 'Scream', a horror movie built on droll horror-movie references. But the efforts are often clumsy, flagged with a wink-winking that deadens the gimmick."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The performances are bland, robotic and uninteresting--clearly these actors were recruited for their looks, rather than their acting chops."	NEG
United States	David Hinckley New York Daily News	"'Scream' maintains a sense of humor, reinforced with snappy, self-aware pop culture dialogue. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"The series does exhibit a playful sense of self-mockery (...) 'Slasher movies burn bright and fast', Noah tells his pals. 'TV needs to stretch things out'. If this works, and he survives it, maybe they should let him produce the next season."	POS
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"For younger viewers just discovering irony and metafiction and possibly not acquainted with the screen originals, which have done them to death, this may seem fresh and fun."	NEU
United States	Clark Collis Entertainment Weekly	"This reinvention is not a slasher tale at all but a drama that requires you to invest in its characters while forgetting that 'somebody might die at every turn.'"	POS
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"The new 'Scream' feels too much like the old model, with significantly less star power and lacking any fresh narrative sizzle between the stalkings."	NEG
United States	Mark Perigard Boston Herald	"MTV’s ‘Scream’ series doesn’t live up to film franchise. (...) There are a few scares here, but while the “Scream” films kept audiences jumping, “Scream” the TV series risks putting viewers to sleep."	NEU
