This will mark the third attempt at a television series based on the world of Okrutne namjere (1999)
Plot
After a hazing incident at their elite college, step-siblings Caroline and Lucien set about to preserve their power and reputation by seducing the daughter of the Vice President of the United States.. The straight-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.
Follows Okrutne namjere (1999)
Gellar would later reprise her role as Kathryn in 2016 for the NBC pilot Cruel Intentions (2016), which was not ordered to series.. As someone who loved the original movie I initially found this really hard to watch as I was constantly comparing the characters to that of the movie.
The characters have different names etc
After a few episodes I was about to stop comparing since in my opinion it’s not a remake it’s a new series entirely with "similarities". The character I really struggled with at first was Lucian.
However, by the last episode he became my favorite
Even after accepting that it was not a remake I could not warm to his character at all. My advice do not compare – if you do you will be really disappointed.
