Als ich als Vampir aufwachte

The idea of waking up with superpowers on your birthday is not new, but still makes for some amusing moments. This is a light comedy-drama with scenes in home-school-urban settings.

The episodes are short, so it is easy to finish Season 1 in an evening. My first thought about this is "inconsistent." Some moments are funny, some stupid. Some sweet, some lame. Some action is good, some is juvenile. The musical rehearsals look embarrassing, but the final show is okay.

The story begins like it does not know where it is going, but it seems to gain some purpose around episode 3. The character definitions and dramatic elements become stronger as the show progresses.

The young lead actors are appealing and seem capable of doing more if given a stronger script. The target audience of young viewers should enjoy this. Adults will recognize the many cliches and have higher expectations. After all, a cliche was something new the first time you saw it.

My 8 year old loves this show. That's the audience. That's all you need to know about the show. It's a good quality show for younger kids who aren't ready for something more intense. As a parent it's fun to follow along and talk about. Just enjoy it for what it is.

I know the most disappointing part for my son is the idea that there is only 1 season. He's gonna be wanting to know what happens next.

One thing too it's nice to have a show that my 13 year old can watch with my 8 year old and though it's not her favorite she can enjoy it with him. So often he feels left out now that she's watching older kid shows.

I enjoy vampire stuff, but i am not a young teen. So i don't know how fair my review can be as its surely aim at younger teens in the 10-15 bracket at best. That said i do watch movies aimed more at kids or "for the familly" on ocasions and they can always be fun even for me. My Babysitter is a Vampire for instance, both the show and movie, wich i watched a couple years ago, i enjoyed. The teens are a bit older but still.

The idea of this show is totally fine, but as someone put it, it would had worked better as a movie. The episodes are kinda short and its only 8 episodes, but you get the feeling that there is a lot of padding and by the time i finished the season, i had the impression of finishing episode 1 or 2 at most of a "regular show".

There was also a lot of inconsistencies in the characters, and in the first few episodes i found Carmie to.be quite unsufferable, but it got better later on.

Overall what else can i say? Its on Netflix, it does not take long to watch. If you have young kids or teens they may enjoy it fairly. Apparently a Season 2 is confirmed, so ill probably watch it even tough im not overly exited for it. But again, i am not the demographic for it so i really don't want to be too harsh on this.

Oh i almost forgot. There is a musical at some point. I don't know if the actress sang herself, but if she did, it was actually pretty good. I can praise this for sure.

Seems like there are quite a few complaints here about this series, probably by adults who've forgotten that it was designed to be viewed by children. My 9 year old grandson enjoyed it and never complained once about the acting or anything else. I watched along with him and the only thing I didn't like was that the second series isn't there to find out what happens next.

Acting-wise I think all did the best they could with what they had to work with, and the story does hold your interest. Granted, it's a grade B production overall, but the idea here was to make a series with likable vampires, werewolves, etc., where "bad" people actually turn out to be good. Where your assumed enemies are later transformed into friends. Lots of good lessons to learn here.

The actors and script are pretty terrible. However, I watched the whole series because the story itself is interesting. I like the idea of Blendeds and Mythics. I was interested to see where they go with it. Unfortunately, not that far. The script and acting leave a lot to be desired. Some of the choices for the actors were laughable as well. The comic store owner is awful, as is the main villain. And don't even get me started on the twins. I do like the main kids, though. I think they have potential. I don't know if we'll get another season, but the story was interesting enough to warrant it, if they can improve the writing.
