Despite fearing the worst, Daniel Waters wrote "I liked it!" after watching the the Paramount Network remake of his cult classic movie. "Okay, Episode 1 is the Mad Libs parlor game version of the movie we feared...but it ends well," he wrote on Facebook. "The further the show moves away from the film, the better." Meanwhile, Jason Micallef, creator of the Heathers TV series, responded to the criticism on Twitter reacting to the backlash, tweeting "my show is definitely doing something right." He added in a tweet with a screenshot of Waters' Facebook post: "Thanks for all the love for #Heathers and now that our God himself has spoken, the haters can go crawl back into their quarries."
