First Kill

As I wrote in title of my review this show it's not bad at all. I don't understand the reason why there are so many bad reviews. For sure it's not a masterpiece at all but as entertainment it's good enough to spend some hours watching this show. Ya it's more on teens side probably...the soundtrack, the actors etc...it's polically correct maybe a little bit too much and it's not bad at all. The characters sometimes are a little bit "over" and the story too. But if u wanna pure entertainment with vampires, monsters etc give it a chance without prejudice and u will not disappointed.

This is incredible. The first time I've seen a queer girl relationship that wasn't overly sexualised to fake-hetro Katy Perry I-kissed-a-girl vibes, and overshadowed by some great coming out story. They're here, they're queer, and they've got way bigger problems to sink their teeth into. Absolute joyride to have a good monster slasher show with protagonists I can enjoy as well.

Fangtastic!

I admit that I haven't finished the first season yet but it's really enjoyable and very slick. My own attention span is small and I've stopped so many very highly rated series and movies due to them being slow and boring. This is really enjoyable and well done. Congratulations to all involved and good luck for renewals.

Per my headline, I am concerned that some of the negative comments come from a prejudicial point of view. That's how it looks to me.

First off let me just say if you're going to reiterate how this is Buffy this and that then congrats you have watched what Victoria Schwab, the author of the book this was based on, intended it to be! My expectations going in here was a lot of angst and teen drama but surprisingly missing from here. I mean there's some negatives still since they are teenagers but like it's not all "I'm going to choose bad decisions and never thinks things through because it's all about me" type of bs.

I honestly found myself hooked. Though it has some holes in it which not to spoil you guys but let's just say some scene transitions feel jumpy and the action scenes need some sprucing up, CGI could be better but anyway it didn't throw me off as I assume budget isn't exactly big for them so they did what they could (maybe it will turn you off so well can't help that). It's also quite slow? Like it felt more a chill ride than some rollercoaster thriller so if you're not fond of that might bore you

The star of the show for me is the romance and Sarah Hook. She's amazing in this!! This is actually my first wlw series and their chemistry is quite good. They do these eye emotes that really make you feel their desire for each other.

I also quite like the lore they're building on. Not much is shown yet but ross fingers. It's also a different spice of vampire which I like and wish to find more about so hoping for S2. I do wish they'd expound more on the other creatures too.

There's some moments where in I teared up. I feel they did deliver the more dramatic moments quite good. Aubin Wise's moment especially! That was great.

Overall it's a dash of cheesiness, some campy vibe, seriousness but also light heartedness, interesting characters albeit you know some stereotypes and predictability (Elinor, aside from Juliette, is one of my faves, she knows what she wants and is not wishy washy. Can't pin her at all. I like that), very cute leads, wholesome romance, plus all the cons in this and honestly just another check on basic vampire/human forbidden love concepts which I am really into.

If you find yourself watching this I recommend you place your mindset for this show as romance first everything else is second because they really built and delivered on that part.

Make sure you fast forward first episode, for me that's easily one of the worst pilot ep ever.

Rest of the episodes are really good, atleast for a vampire show.

I give the show 7, and +1 because i really liked most of the cast and wish to see them again.
