Happily, Scream maintains a sense of humor, reinforced with snappy, self-aware pop culture dialogue.
Scream the TV series doesn’t have the cinematic flair that Craven brought to the original film, and that’s a bit disappointing, but right from the first scene there’s a unique energy to the piece. It doesn’t feel like a knock-off or a cheap tie-in. It’s a horror movie in weekly series form.

The first hour of Scream is an efficient fright-delivery system wrapped inside a teen drama, but it’s meta-commentary that makes it worthwhile. That, and the pilot’s promise to spread out its jump scares more slowly and deliberately.
The result could easily have been a messy botch, but Scream is a little better than that.
At least in the pilot, this Scream seems set on calling back to its ’90s source and then ever-so-slightly tweaking expectation. Yet it never plays as anything more than copycat cleverness.
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.
The performances are bland, robotic and uninteresting--clearly these actors were recruited for their looks, rather than their acting chops. And most of the main cast white, which is inexcusable in this day and age and completely unrealistic.
