Heirs of the Night

I don't really get the other reviews here but I for one thought this series has been entertaining so far. It started off quite good with a decent plot, interesting characters and in my opinion good acting. Some people say the acting is over the top but I don't see it that way at all. Others complain about the production value which seems rather silly to me as well. Then there are rants about it being a series for juveniles but guess what. This series is based on the book series which is aimed for a young audience! I only found out about the books after watching the first season though. Personally, I rather review this for what it is, rather than for what it isn't. The show is not without fault though. There's Nico's annoyingly bad acting - who seems to be the exception - and then there's the somewhat weak ending of the first season. Yes, there are certain events that don't seem to make much sense. But still... I expected a mediocre series but I got more than I expected so I am looking forward to season 2.

I want to like this show, but the writing is just awful. The characters display no intelligence, even ones who should be ancient and wise. They have no sense of urgency for things that should be very urgent. Obvious solutions to presented problems are completely ignored. Climaxes are poorly written and structured. This series is one glaring series of "why didn't they just do X, Y, or Z". It's like the show was written by a high schooler. I would love to see this show written again and done properly, but the form we are presented with is nothing better than a mediocre way to kill time.

One of my friends recomended this for me and i didn't expect it to be that great.

I loved it and of cuorse not everyone can like it as much as i did.

I dont think adults will like it it could easily be very cringy for them.

(Sry for bad english)

It is always a regret when those who wish to criticise, especially in an ignorant way (compare budgets between their comparisons for example), and are not bothered to read the IMDB page despite having to come to it to moan. This is a Dutch/Norwegian/German co-production and from the opening it is obvious, to those paying attention, that this is a young adult series (shown on Children's BBC - CBBC!!!!!!!!) which has had a large budget thrown at it. There are a lot of characters to get to grips with (that wasn't a problem in Game of Thrones) and the story moves along at a nice pace. The script and acting could be better but remember who the audience is. An engaging series well worth a watch. The background music can be irritating at times.

As an aside I wonder how it was shot e.g. for Norsemen on Netflix each scene was shot concurrently in Norwegian then in English.

Just relax and enjoy this kids' series. u r not watching to see if this will be included in any awards show. just curious what story is about. good old vampire story with a different twist.
