Who Is Erin Carter Review
While interesting, the plot is far from original or plausible. A violent attack would not go unnoticed inside a school with a complex surveillance system. The acting is decent but not always believable.
The show is still worth watching. I rate the pilot episode a 6. Get more Who Is Erin Carter recaps here. Support Reel Mockery by clicking the link. Our onsite advertising builds brand awareness, learn more by speaking to customer support.
