I recently heard about a toon called Harpers Island on CBS. The premiere episode aired on April 9th at 10p.m. I didn’t think much of it. A couple of weeks geleden I saw some afbeeldingen from the toon on the link, but didn’t know what it was about of if I wanted to take the time to find out. I happened to see a promo for the toon a couple days before it aired and decided to give it a try. Alas I forgot and didn’t get to see it the night it aired. Out of curiosity I went to the link Website and looked the toon up. I ended up watching the toon and loving it. If u are anything like me u have never heard of this toon before now.
This toon has the gore of a link with all the intrigue of a murder mystery. It puts me in mind of the Agatha Christie book/movie Ten Little Indians, which I loved. While these are the main premises of the toon there is a lot of character development going on. The toon has a large cast of known and unknown actors. Some of the people u might recognize are Cameron Richarson who was on Point Pleasant, Matt Barr who played the stalker on One boom Hill, Victor Webster who played Coop on link and was on Mutant X, Chris Gauthier who was in two episodes of link, Jim bever, beaver who plays Bobby Singer on link, and Katie Cassidy who played the original Ruby on link. With this great cast u would think that the acting would be great, but to be honest it is mediocre. The toon makes up for this door being well written, in my opinion. It looks to be a great look at the lives of people stuck in a horrifying situation. Also the location they chose to shoot this toon in is beautiful.
The toon takes place on Harpers Island off the coast of Seattle Washington. So the toon is about a wedding party going to Harpers Island for the big day. It is suppose to be a week of fun and festivities on this beautiful island. u may be asking yourself why go to this island for a wedding, the answer is that the groom (Henry Dunn), the bride (Trish Wellington), and the grooms best friend (Abby Millls) were vrienden on the island as children. While these three were children a rash of six murders occurred on the island door a man named John Wakefield. This murderer had no ties to the island, he just showed up and started slaughtering people. John hacked people up and hung people from trees.
During this killing spree Abby Mills mother was killed and hung in a boom door John. Abby Mills has not been back to the island in years. Abby left a father who is the Sherriff and a boyfriend behind when she left. As u watch the toon u see that there is unfinished business between Abby and the two men, which should get good as the series progresses. Also during the first episode we find that there are two men in the lovely brides life, the groom and a mysterious man named Hunter Jennings (Is this a past lover of someone meer horrible?). There is also a creepy little girl that is the bloem girl,
Madison, who seems to have a destructive streak and knows too much about things that are going on. At one point Madison says that she knows that people died on the island, but how did she find out. There is a couple on the island name Cal and Chloe who seem to have a very interesting relationship. Chloe seems to be very flirty with other men and Cal seems to not notice. Most of the time Cal treats Chloe like a princess, but on occasion he turns into a mean person towards her. There are many other characters that u don‘t get to know yet, but that seem very intriguing.
In the first episode there are already two murders. I won’t tell u who they are, but I will describe what happens to them as a sneak peek. The first person murdered was tied to the bottom of a boat, and then sucked through the propeller. Can we say sliced and diced. It even had the classic jaws image of the big red wolk in the water. The volgende victim was hacked in half. It was a decent scene. Due to the graphic nature of the toon I believe that this is why CBS chose to put it on so late at night. I am hoping to watch them as they air, but if I don’t the quality of the episodes on line aren’t too bad. Also a bonus is that there aren’t a whole lot of commercials, I think I only saw like 5. Also u can do something else on line while they play because they tell u how long they are.
Now u may be asking yourself what makes this toon so unique, well the answer is the Pick the Vitim feature at CBS.com. The link feature gives u a chance to win $1000 dollars door guessing who the victims are going to be. Every time u guess right u get points and entered into a drawing to win the money, I think this is how it works. Now I just like the guessing part and the bragging part. I am not lucky so I won’t win the money, but u might. I thought this feature gives the toon a meer interactive feel. I like this toon a lot and thought I would introduce it to all of you. I hope I did it justice. If u haven’t seen it and would like to watch it u can watch link on line, it‘s only 40 minuten long. u can also get information about the toon on the link, which has great pics, images, and character/victim bios. Also if u like shows like this u might want to check out my spot that is dedicated to shows in the horror and sci-fi genres, link.
Oh and many of the linken are to other spots on FanPop.
People who could be victims.
