Prime Screening Room: Harper’s Island

When the crackling mystery miniseries Harper’s Island premiered in July of 2009, it was the talk of the summer.

Seven years after a series of murders claimed the lives of her mother and five others, Abby Mills returns to her hometown of Harper’s Island to attend the wedding of her best friend, heiress Trish Willington, to boy-next-door Henry Dunn.

There’s no happily ever after, though, as a serial killer begins picking off family members and friends one by one in this serialized horror-drama series some have described as ” ‘Scream’ meets ‘Ten Little Indians.’ “.

Week after week, viewers theorized and watched as prime suspects were themselves murdered, one by one.

Now that you can binge-watch all 13 episodes it’s possible to enjoy the mystery and suspense while avoiding the frustration of having to wait for the next episode to see if your suspicions pan out. Better still, this miniseries is currently (as of 1/25/16) included in the Prime Video catalog, so it’s free for Prime members to view.

For non-Prime viewers, individual episodes can be purchased for $1.99 in SD / $2.99 in HD, and the entire series can be purchased for $9.99 in SD / $14.99 in HD.

Harper’s Island originally aired on network television, and while it’s not rated it can be considered TV-MA for violent and suggestive content.
