V-Wars

I've seen better, but i've seen ahell of a lot worse. You get to know the characters quite quickly, also feel a certain empathy towards them. The acting isn't terrible, and the script is fine. Think the bad reviewers maybe have a vested interest in slating this for some strange reason

First I like the cast and the acting. As far as the story i like it. its a new take on the whole Vampire virus thing. Its graphic its gruesome and its worth some time.

Ok, so the acting's a bit cheesy and the storyline is somewhat predictable but the effects and gore ain't too bad. Worth watching a few to see how it pans out.

V-Wars started good, interesting with promise, but went downhill pretty fast.

• The biggest problem of the show is lack of logic continuity in the script and flow of the episodes. You constantly have island storylines forcefully glued together.

• The characters and their acting is mostly a mess with zero character development. Even, those who are acting good like Calix Niklos and the kid are dissolved in the acidity of the show.

• Ian Somerhalder is Not believable as a scientist. Never was, never will be; Nor is he believable being a guy handling pistols and submachine guns, let alone bigger weaponry. His character's play is forced, shaky, not scientifically right and just wanting his son!

• Connection and chemistry between characters are as strong as the ones between a shark and a seal.

• Special effects, besides the slashed necks, are a total wreck. Vampires' faces and gaping mouths look like filters added by a mobile app; Just some teeth scenes are made good. The substance used as blood is as blood-like and near as paint mixed with syrup is.

• The amount of money wasted on this show is forever gone and lost until a possible season 2 wastes another big load.

• On a plus side, it is watchable in one day, if you have nothing else to do.

Throughout the episodes, I thought that it definitely deserves a season 2, but after seeing the final 5-10 minutes of the last episode, it became clear to me that it's better to let it be as it is and save whatever pride is left of the writers and producers.

So I read the reviews for this show halfway through watching it... Just finished the season... OK first off I think some people on here are being way way way harsh... Doesn't mean some of them aren't making valid points I won't spoil anything and I'll just say my piece. Yeah the acting is pretty bad sometimes but you know what I don't blame that on the actors I blame it on the writers because they didn't write it right. Or the director because he didn't make the actors stick to the script... Either way the acting is kind of a mess. There is some good gore throughout the season, would have liked to see a little more or a little more intimate gorefest with the vampires. Need ideas for how this shit works it kind of reminds me of Z nation or helix or something like that... But the first season of those two shows somehow just captivated me... This one I wasn't captivated but I wanted to know what happened next and I forgive bad acting because sometimes bad acting is just what the doctor ordered... And I'm not saying the acting is terrible it's OK for what they are being given to work with... Not great or special but not unforgivable. The special-effects are fairly cool, pretty sparing but that's usually the fair for most shows like it they only have so much of a special effects budget so again I let it slide the effects look pretty cool. I say give them a season two and really put the riders to the test tell them the writing needs to be amped up and make more sense and feel more impactful... It's not a smash hit from the get go but I think it could have potential I like the idea of what's going on between vampires and people... It's a terrible analogy but kind of reminds me of somewhere between Z nation and true blood... I don't know how but those of the two that come to mind... Give it a chance expect nothing and I think you'll agree it's OK it's not terrible... Somethings are pretty bad but, I say give 'em a shot
