This series is the first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by JR Ward. The book series is incredible and this series on Passionflix is staying true to the books making it amazing! The cast is spectacular! The special effects, the directing, the score and episodes are truly outstanding! If you have not jumped into this world by any means, this will reel you in quickly and prompt you to read the books as well. Each episode leaves you wanting for more and more. The episodes drop at 12:01am Thursday mornings and I am there for it and will continue to be! The BDB fan base crashed the sight the first day the first episode dropped! Come join this outstanding journey!

Soooo. Have been a fan of this series for too many years to count. When I heard the platform this series was going to air on, I was hesitant to watch. Fast forward I bought a month trial and watched the first episode. At first I thought this is going to be super cheesy. As I continued to watch I began to appreciate the casting, the strict following of the script of the books and the flow of the show. Would like Rhage's dragon to be more realistic. It did take me a hot moment to embrace Wrath's wig but as I continued to watch I got on board. Butch's acting is spot on as is Marissa's. I think I am most excited to see Z's and Vichous's characters grow. Overall I am not disappointed and I hope they choose to consider finishing this series out in future episodes. I would definitely watch. To be honest, most new movies or series leave much to be desired, so this series, although not perfect at this time has great potential to continue and perfect. I hope it does.

No doubt about this, I loved this. Made the movie in my head when I read the books, come to life. Actor selection was spot on, loved how it stuck so closely to the books. Wrath is just as toe curling as I pictured and I cannot wait for the next instalment to see the love story with Beth unfold. Was it $1 billion cinematic masterpiece, no, but it was everything that I needed for curl up at home, on my couch, get lost in the story, evening. I cannot wait to see the character development and pray that they will do at least the next five, hopefully ALL the books on Passionflix. You have got a dedicated watcher here.

I just finished watching the first episode of The Black Dagger Brotherhood, and I honestly didn't expect to be this impressed. Going into it, I knew it wouldn't be a massive high-budget production, but what it might lack in scale, it absolutely makes up for in heart, atmosphere, and dedication.

To my surprise (and delight), I found myself completely drawn in. Rath and Beth? I loved them. Their dynamic was so compelling, and there's something about the way their story is being told that feels both intimate and larger-than-life. You can really feel that J. R. Ward and director Tosca Musk poured themselves into this project, not just as creators, but as true fans of the world they've built.

The soundtrack and musical choices were another highlight for me. Every note felt intentional, and the background sounds helped elevate the emotional depth of each scene. It's clear that the production team worked hard to create an immersive experience, and for me, they absolutely succeeded.

I genuinely enjoyed it far more than I expected, and I sincerely hope more people give this show a chance. There's so much potential here, and I can't wait to see where it goes next.

This episode was FUN! What a great start to the series. This was the most ambitious of Passionflix's productions to date with scale and special effects and they blew it out of the park! The casting is spot on, the dialogue is straight out of the books, and the scenery is exactly how I pictured it in my mind. I'm so excited to watch the next 5 episodes. I have been reading the books for about 10 years now and they are so pleasantly different than the standard vampire faire. I recommend this to any reader of the series. You will not be disappointed.

2 stars were removed due to some of the scenes being cheesy or just off somehow. I have no doubt they will get better as they progress and get more comfortable with their characters. In no way is that bad in my book though, this was obviously done with love of the lore and respect for the author. Mad props Passionflix, keep up the good work and you've more than earned your subscription fee.
