Academia de vampiros

Just finished episode 6 and I'll keep watching it til the end. I just honestly can't get over rose and her mums accent; why add an Aussie and kiwi accent? It's so distracting. Rose has been miscast, her Turkish roots play a role in the story. And I'm sorry but she's quite a weak actress. I feel like I'm casting they've gone down a run sheet and ticked a whole heap of boxes. The thing is, this story and the nationality of key characters are part of the story Unfortunately the costumes are worse then the casting....like where do you even start. A complete disaster Don't compare it to the books and it's ok.

Was very excited for this to come out. I read the books and loved them but........this show uses the books as a loose guideline. It is good I just wish I hadn't read the books because it ruins it for me since they are different from each other. Rose is not sassy whatsoever, the way the story plays out is very different from the book, and it seems very fast paced for this early on. Just once it would be nice if they used the source material and followed it instead of going off into another dimension. I will continue to watch and give it a chance; but if you have read the books just keep in mind this is a loose adaptation and does not follow them.

I really don't understand why they give popular, lore rich book franchises to peoples who do not have slightest idea about them, this is not Vampire Academy, not at all. Writers, actors, producers everyone involved in making this, including peacock, are trashing these beloved books, bad reviews are justified, do not watch this if you are a real fan of the books, because they have butchered vampire academy beyond recognition and repair. I'm not even sure if I will ever look at the books the same way after watching a few minutes of an episode of this, or ever again at this rate. I guess the cash was too good to turn down for RM. 😡

The subject matter is similar and most of the characters have the same names, but that is where the majority of the similarities to the book series disappear. The story in the show bounces all over all of the books picking and twisting the different events. These books were also for young adults and the content of the show is definitely not for young adults. I wish I had not read the books prior to seeing the show, maybe than I wouldn't be as disappointed. I read all of the Vampire Academy series books and then continued on the the Bloodlines series. I genuinely hope they do not attempt to convert those books as well.

Not appropriate for anyone 18 and under, but it's also too immature to be for adults, so I'm not too sure who the target audience is. I can't say I will stick around to watch any more episodes, managed to watch the first 5, as I just didn't find it to have that certain spark that pulls you back in for more, which other new shows do have. The acting and script were both very mediocre, and I think that plays a huge part in why I couldn't get into this show. I also found it to be very rushed and not well explained, so I was confused as to what was happening most of the time, so with all of those things, I just couldn't get into even though I wanted too.
