Vampire Academy

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.

I saw that this had a low rating but I don't always agree with ratings, so, I watched the first instalment and I am pretty sure I will never watch another episode of this tragedy.

I expected young coming of age tropes but I did not expect it to be so humourless, so paint by the numbers, and a cast of characters I have zero interest in. Too much sorrows of the hyper privileged narcissistic teens played by adults.

I can not say anything positive about this. I believe they had a pre teen audience in mind when making this irritating waste of time and money.

I feel that this one is so bad that the actors will embarrassed to be associated with this bit of fantasy garbage. The writing is low end, the dialogue is stilted, and the plot is absurdly predictable.

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.

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.

I had my doubts when I saw the trailer, but I kept telling myself "never judge a movie/show by its trailer", but I should have just stuck with judging this one because it really shows how boring and bland it is (trust me, it only gets worse if you watch it). The plot/storyline is boring, rushed and makes no sense whatsoever. When I say rushed, I mean characters are together with no build up and they move from one thing to another way too fast, and it makes no sense because there are things in this that need to be explained but they don't explain them or build up to them. The music doesn't always fit and is sometimes used when not needed, and it's too loud, you can barely hear what people are saying. I don't like to say bad things about people, but these actors are terrible. 😣 Bland, blank, 2-dimensional with no chemistry with each other. And because they have no chemistry, the romances are just awkward. I don't even know if you can call them romances. Maybe lust or just one night stands or something fits better? I don't know. The fighting reminds me too much of ballet and plays in general. It needs to look more real not practiced.

Overall, this was hard to watch and I won't be doing it ever again.
