Cruel Intentions has actually proved that this story was always meant to be a tv show. This show was not the first attempt at expanding on this story. There was a very failed Cruel Intentions 2, and there were several tries at a tv show but perhaps it has been just long enough for this to actually work. The cast and writers also seem to have a great understanding of what the movie actually was and therefore have been able to capture its tone and purpose really well in the show. In Cruel Intentions episode 4 we get to see more of Lucien and Caroline’s games.

This show has got me in a chokehold. This is a very bingeable show. At only 8 episodes you could really blast through it in a day and it would be totally worth it. I also think that unlike a lot of streaming shows now Cruel Intentions has a really great re-watch quality to it, the same way the movie does. All of the charm and endurance the movie has is also in the show. Cruel Intentions episode 4 really shows that the writers understood their source material. The show is paced out really well and sprinkles the source material throughout the episodes.
