Absolutely Superb and Unique Entry in this Genre!
23 May 2020
I just finished watching this amazing vampire series once again..I saw it when it 1st came out and hadnt watched it for a long time..I'd forgotton how it ended and alot of it was like watching for the first time again. This is some Very unique writing and not like any vampire,werewolf,witch show that you have ever seen before..It takes the very difficult path of mixing horror,gore,sexuality, intensity, drama,humor and satire all in one show and it does it extremely well! You feel a bond with each of the characters and there is a great deal of character development over the seasons, so much so that some of the characters become almost polar opposites of what they were when they were 1st introduced..Another fascinating twist is the Bizzare but also Wonderful change in the writing that occurs in the last season..its So Different that you wonder what the heck happenned! The whole tone of the show changes and yes this will disrupt Alot of viewers who expect a continuity of theme thru the show till its end....But....The change ,though radical, is also wonderful..I'd say there is Less humor, less satire, more Intensity, More seriousness in each actors acting which leads to a more dramatic feeling..The gore is still there but its Not as funny, its serious, its intense, and its heart breaking for so many of the characters and they all act it out so well.. Overall, that last season was like watching a Different show but it was Every bit as interesting and entertaining...Now thats something you Dont see very often! I love this show...Sexy,smart, dramatic, satirical and crazy funny at time, heartbreaking at others...What more could you ask of Any show in Any genre? The Final episode covers the full gamut of emotions and wraps things up in a beautiful ending that would bring a tear and a smile to anyone... highly recommended!
