Van Helsing

Pros: 1. The storyline is pretty good.

Cons: 1. The acting is "C" at best. 2. The script is waaaay overwritten. The characters do not talk like normal people and especially not like people in a vampire apocalypse. 3. Makeup is not very good. 4. Very obvious that this was not a high-budget series.

Even though the cons outweigh the pros, I am still watching this. I can't explain why, maybe I'm hoping it will get better.

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.

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.

Seasons one and two were pretty good but it goes downhill after that. Season 5 is barely watchable with actors often literally standing around delivering poorly written lines. Over all, don't bother.

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.
