Breh you do realize scream is essentially a soap opera where someone gets stabbed every once in a while?
I liked this more then I thought....Of course it has the common flaws of being WAY too overdone in terms of style and set design, almost all gloss and sheen, and no real grit or verisimilitude to ground it for the viewer who doesn't happen to live in a smart house mansion complete with voice command, and interior design to the tune of 3/4 a million dollars. It's hard to relate to characters or invest in a show which feels so overly glamorized. I'm not asking for a 'Scream' set in the slums, though thats an interesting concept in itself, but bring it down to a middle class level, with some slight degree of believability.
Also, as difficult as it appears to be for filmakers or tv series to accurately portray high school, even considering as subjective experience as it is, it would go a long way to create an even marginally more accurate portrayal. The parties, the school conversations, none of it rings really true. Granted, it is hard to do this. How kids actually talk is one of the more difficult things to pin down.
So, what I did like was the dialogue, (as it related to 'Scream') was self aware and smart enough, and the kids were well acted to an acceptable degree. I like the potential relationship between Randy and the Asian girl, for lack of remembering her name. It's more worthy then the last 'Scream' installment, which says a lot. Or maybe it doesn't. Either way, it is more then passable entertainment for a longtime fan of the original and slasher horror in general. I don't think it approaches greatness or true horror, but it does well enough with the material. From what is a great but preposterous set up. The original isn't really believable from a realism perspective, but it sells the hell out of it's best ideas, deranged teens, horror movies, self aware victims As the series progressed, it's gets to be a bit much, finally crashing down in 'Scream 4', where I am supposed to believe an 18 year old girl who weighs 90 pounds can stick a knife through a 4 inch door and sever a mans head, shedding costumes and sneaking around, etc, etc. This will be more of that, but hopefully better done.

Nah
Scream was a classic, and extremely different than this show.
This is literally a soap opera, scream was a thriller.
They gotta make it stretch plus they're trying to appeal to Millenial whitebread teenagersNah

I mean yeah the movie is better but wes craven himself has said its a soap opera. He said the thing that drew him to it was that it had all these elements to it: a soap, a murder mystery, and a slasher. Just because you're a horror or a thriller doesn't mean you don't have a lot of soap elements and scream had more than enough:
Will Sidney sleep with her boyfriend?
The social cliques
The stuff with her mom and her dad
The drama between she and gale
The love story element between Dewey and gale
The difference is that was better written than this one and it wasn't drawn out over 10 hours. But scream wrapped a horror movie around a high school soap just written and acted better. Soap isn't a negative thing breh. Stan lee always said spider man was a soap opera and every once in a while a fight broke out.
