This will mark the third attempt at a television series based on the world of Okrutne namjere (1999)
Tale
After a hazing incident at their elite college, step-siblings Caroline and Lucien decide to preserve their power and reputation by seducing the daughter of the Vice President of the United States. The direct-to-video sequel Okrutne namjere 2 (2000), with Amy Adams replacing Sarah Michelle Gellar as Kathryn Merteuil, was originally a scripted TV series before being re-edited into a feature film. Gellar would later reprise her role as Kathryn in 2016 for the NBC pilot Cruel Intentions (2016), which was not ordered to series.

They won me over… and then lost me. I watched the OG.
IT WASN’T RUINED
I even watched the many sequels afterward. They all had one good thing in common… The Greek system was a nice touch, but OMG!
I was annoyed by the characters
And no, I’m not just talking about the many character flaws they supposedly have. I don’t want to watch 8 hours of the same scenario over and over again in a different package every episode and this is what’s happening. This could have been a great miniseries or limited series, but 8 episodes with the possibility of a second season??
WHO IS LUCIAN!?
Where. Please let these characters have peace. Also…
