V-Wars started good, interesting with promise, but went downhill pretty fast.
Throughout the episodes, I thought that it definitely deserves a season 2, but after seeing the final 5-10 minutes of the last episode, it became clear to me that it's better to let it be as it is and save whatever pride is left of the writers and producers.
- The biggest problem of the show is lack of logic continuity in the script and flow of the episodes. You constantly have island storylines forcefully glued together.
- The characters and their acting is mostly a mess with zero character development. Even, those who are acting good like Calix Niklos and the kid are dissolved in the acidity of the show.
- Ian Somerhalder is Not believable as a scientist. Never was, never will be; Nor is he believable being a guy handling pistols and submachine guns, let alone bigger weaponry. His character's play is forced, shaky, not scientifically right and just wanting his son!
- Connection and chemistry between characters are as strong as the ones between a shark and a seal.
- Special effects, besides the slashed necks, are a total wreck. Vampires' faces and gaping mouths look like filters added by a mobile app; Just some teeth scenes are made good. The substance used as blood is as blood-like and near as paint mixed with syrup is.
- The amount of money wasted on this show is forever gone and lost until a possible season 2 wastes another big load.
- On a plus side, it is watchable in one day, if you have nothing else to do.
