This episode spent a lot of time on Angel, who was a character that I barely remember having any presence in the first episode. He's not great, and was dating Kit a year ago and was a weirdo and covered his shirt in Kit's blood after Kit died. There was also something about him giving Kit an aphrodisiac/drug on the night Kit died but idk how that plays into anything. And we have another example of cops not doing anything bc Angel gets hit in the head with a bottle by a homeless guy and needs stitches but the guy doesn't get arrested for assault... Then the guy goes and steals a sandwich from Xander's shop and I was surprised that Xander let it slide and didn't call the cops considering how uptight he is about his business. Xander also got killed this episode and I'm seeing a theme of a lot of face-based deaths since Frank's head was chopped off, Cassidy's face was melted off, and now Xander's face was turned into a coffee machine or something. Oh and speaking of Frank's head, the coroner found a cellphone shoved up in it, not sure what that means tho. Violet is terrible and tries to bank off of Frank's death and gets chewed out in the hallway. Then a video gets posted on her blog showing her husband cheating on her with Angel. This whole episode felt like a mess with a bunch of pieces thrown at us and no clear way to connect them. Hoping it gets better.

So Many Flashbacks
ZegMaarJus1 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This episode begins with the cleaner at school, she sees blood at the toilets. In a flashback we see that Lopez got beaten with a belt. In a flashback we see that Lopez caught Kit while he had sex with Cassidy. A vagrant knocked a bottle on Lopez his head. Somebody broke into Lopez his house. We see that Angel Lopez poisoned Kit at the party. Violet got a tape where her husband has sex with Angel. Xander got knocked against the wall by The Druid, he killed him with a glass pipe. Joe broke up with Angel. Solid episode of Slasher Season 3, Xander got killed by The Druid. This shocking event isn't gonna be the last death. In my opinion there were to many flashbacks this episode.
Not getting better

Things haven't improved since my review of episode one. And what I said there is still pertinent. If anything, the acting has gotten worse.
As someone who really enjoyed the first two seasons of Slasher, I was very disapppointed in this. Everything is played to the nth melodromatic extreme. The acting is overdone. The stereotypes are WAY overdrawn and overemphasaized. I realize racism is more rampant in cities, but this seems way over the top. They've also chosen to trade plot and good story for the grossout. Sad to see.
I normally go point by point when I rate something low so people understand why. But this isn't really worth my time. Or yours.
