Vampiri

This serie is so underated... NICE STORY AND THE ACTING WAS ON POINT, I RECOMMEND THIS!!

It's not the tvd/originals but good. Something is definitely missing in the storyline, but it's not half as bad people Make it to be.

I'm a sucker for all things supernatural but I just couldn't enjoy this series because of its flaws.

Let's start with the positives. The world in which the characters lived was interesting. The centre points of the story were also intriguing. Vampires have been used in series for a long time but this series provided some new aspects to the used trope. These facts made the series watchable for me.

I watched this with subtitles as I don't speak French. I noticed that sometimes when there were subtitles no one was speaking and it was weirdly quiet for a long time. This happened quite a few times. I don't know if the problem is only on my Netflix account but if not it's a huge mistake that could've easily been fixed.

The characters were very angry most of time. Sometimes for an unknown reason to me. That was actually a carrying theme throughout the series: people doing and reacting to things without any context. I found it quite funny how someone would start screaming over nothing but it doesn't make the series any better. I can't say that the acting was good either. There were a lot of empty stares...

The actions and decisions the characters made were surprising but not in a good way. Most of them were sudden and/or not in line with the characters previous decisions. The characters were overall build in a way that left them distant to me. I didn't find myself caring for them.

The bright colorful lights and the twisting and turning of the camera at some of the scenes was weird. Not "artistic" or "new". Weird. I also HATE when the camera is very close in front of a moving person but it doesn't move with the person and just stays still. It just doesn't look good and it was used in this series.

And wtf was up with that blood drinking?! So loud and forceful :D

Interesting show, it treats vampires as people with a genetic mutation, vampirism can't be transferred through bite and it isn't supernatural. Because the condition runs in families, it creates some interesting character dynamics. The show also looks very "real", the actors aren't attractive and look like average people while the production design looks intentionally low-budget and dirty, but it works to the show's advantage. I hope there's a second season, this is a nice middle ground between boring animalistic feral vampires like in the Strain and the lovely-dovey high school vampires like in...almost everything.

I cannot understand how this could have a low rating. I loved everything about it. Great writing, great acting - interesting, dark and clever. I found this show to be compelling and engrossing from start to finish. I don't usually write reviews and I'll make this short and sweet: excellent! Watch it now!!
