In return, Caroline offers herself up to Lucien as a prize.
Heres the first problem withCruel Intentions: The chemistry between all three leads is off.
For such a sexy story, Luciens aura screams more Tim Allen than Timothee Chalamet.
Shes manipulative, conniving, and dreadfully cruel.
Fast-forward to 2024sCruel Intentionsand Katheryns avatar here: Caroline.
Its entirely unnecessary and weakens the impact of Caroline as an antagonist.
Not every villain needs to be given a laundry list of motivations.
Less could have been more powerful in this instance.
Cruel Intentions is a strong contender for worst show of the year
Remember theGossip Girlcomparisons from earlier?
The unfortunate truth is this didnt need to be a series.

Actually, scratch that.
Prime VideosCruel Intentionsdoesnt provide any compelling reason for its existence at all.
