Slasher season III - "Solstice" (2019)

One year after the brutal murder of a young man, the residents of the building where he lived are secretly hunted, one by one, by a serial killer named The Druid.

Season three of Slasher, Solstice, is another horror slasher miniseries, which follows the lives of the residents of a single building for a whole day, each episode covering three hours of that day, during which the Druid finds at least one new victim. The story has many elements of political correctness, which seems to have annoyed some of the viewers, but this aspect only diversifies the story. Probably not as good as the 2nd series, the 3rd series is captivating, it maintains the viewer's interest, it is predictable in some aspects, surprising in others. There's a bit of overkill involved as well.

Slasher Season I - "The Executioner" (2016)

Sarah Bennett returns to her hometown, where her parents were brutally killed by The Executioner, but the moment coincides with a series of new copycat killings using the same murderer's MO.

Slasher is an anthology series that offers fans exactly what the title promises: stories with many characters that last a season, during which spectacular murders take place, in a true slasher tradition. Similar to American Horror Story, the actors are recycled for each new season, and each season can be watched independently of the others, in any order. 

The first season begins very strongly with memories from the '80s and the return of the main character. Then, one by one, in each episode, a character guilty of one of the 7 sins dies. The murders are theatrical, well thought out, but the story that connects them often resembles a soap opera with implausible causality and explanations (which can be forgiven up to a point), and the weak and inconsistent ending greatly reduces the overall impression of the entire season unfortunately.
