Van Helsing

I really enjoyed the first two seasons and even.enjoyed season 3 but it went sideways and gave us practically a whole new cast by seasons 4 and 5. It was hard to watch but I kept thinking it would get back to why I enjoyed it in the first place. So disappointed in this series and where the chose to take it. Seasons 1 and 2 - I rated 8 then changed rating to a 7 after season 3. Now I'm at a 5.

The overacting, particularly Jack and Violet, was painful to watch. Cringe worthy at times. It was just too much and ruined season 4 for me.

I would give this show 8, but season 4 killed that. It had a really good story, but then political noise overpowered the storyline. I'm 100 percent female, and believe in equality. However, it's overboard in real life as it is, I don't want the nonsense polluting my shows I watch for FUN. Van Helsing stopped being fun when it started being an all women should be heroes crap. Other than that, it's not horrible. Just not as good as it could be.

1. It began as a show about vampires.

2. In this show about vampires there was a woman who could cure the vampires.

3. Efforts were made to make a cure to end the vampires.

4. It all made sense... mostly. It was about saving the world.

The bad things:

Magic... The Screaming... oh the screaming... Good GOD the screaming!

Why did the Dark One hate the humans/her food so much?

Why go through all of that effort? What were the things that the vampires enjoyed, that made them go through such efforts to achieve it?

One side was fighting for survival, the other was just "Meh, lets kill them".

Season 5, episode 13 - No closure for some main characters.

Imagine sticking with this series since it began, hoping for a somewhat alright ending and then for it to end the way it did.

Worth watching, but the end kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

This is never going to win any awards however i found season 1 & 2 watchable although season three completely bombed. When the actors/actresses who themselves are not particularly great start directing episodes then there is only one direction this show is going, combine this with the introduction of the two young actresses who portray the daughters who can't act to save their lives then this show is dead.
