Just a prettyyy low 4, flawed season and maybe the worst so far, s2 slams this

Strong 4, better than s1, better plot and more consistent, show is pretty underrated.

I got Immediately hooked on this series because for me these are my favorite kind of vampires, the ones that are actually scary and I also like how they made as realistic as they could. Season 1 was the best and it kind of just went downhill from there but I still liked it.

Pacier than the last season, and better for it, but still just Vampire Walking Dead with naff effects and very silly plot elements. Glad to be done with it.

Season 1 honestly was such an amazing season. Like i got hooked 10 minutes into the first episode. The character developments where amazing, the plot was unique, and overall the production was great. This season was definitely the best out of the 4, it set huge expectations.

Conceptually I should love this? Depicting the slow descent from humanism to vampirism is such a cool idea, and those parts work really well. I also love how gross the vampire designs and method of bloodsucking are. But it’s let down by some occasionally lazy writing, and a really dull conspiracy pl

Underrated season. This show is a hidden gem for fans of the genre!

Exactly the same as the first season but with worse effects and weaker dialogue. Really struggling to care about anyone on screen, which is a shame because I love this show conceptually. I’m only watching for big gore moments at this point tbh.

This show is essentially just Walking Dead with vampires now. At least three shark jump moments this season too. So bored.

Excelente serie

i had a great time with this first season!! it’s not anything terribly groundbreaking, but it has some standout characters, episodes and visual effects that’ll keep you hooked if you’re a fan of del toro’s work, or just want a fun, pulpy horror watch. the plot and format can be rough going at time

Cool first season. It was a little slow for me. I think that it had to be 10 episodes instead of 12. I am interested to see what the second season has to offer.

Vampiroland sanguineo pero en buen formato americano

So gehen Vampire!

If I were Del Toro I would be working tirelessly to make sure that any mention of my name was expunged but he seems to be fine with this piece of shit.

bu da çok eskiden başladığım ama bitiremediğim enteresan bir atmosferi olan dizi.

A bit repetitive but still the same old good stuff.

This series as a whole was action pretty good. Kept me entertained and needing to know what happens next. It did have some heavy plot armor, but I found that those characters that had it was actually pretty bad ass. I do have to say the finale wasn’t all that crazy great. As a whole I would recommen
