By knowing what to expect from these series, it will be easier to decide which one to start with.

It was very much in the same vein as some of its contemporaries, with a cast of attractive young kids, although it was set apart somewhat by its pretty New England surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>The scripts by series creator Kevin Williamson (read more about him <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0932078\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>) caught some early flack before the series had even premiered for their perceived \u201craciness\u201d and frank discussion of teen sexuality, but time has been kind to memories of the show\u2019s legacy.
