Dal tramonto all'alba - La serie

Took a couple of episodes to get used to it after the film, but this series is really good. In some ways it rivals the movie.

I was very apprehensive about checking out the From Dusk Till Dawn the Series, because I really liked the original film and felt that the show wouldn't do justice. This is also because they attempted to do several other films afterwards that were all flops. The difference though between the last couple films and this series, is that Robert Rodriguez(the guy who created/directed original film) is the helmer of this series rather than someone else. The show has proved to be successful with his adapting the film to television. 5 episodes in the series and each one has been nostalgic of the film. What I like about the show is that it follows the original story religiously, but goes into way more detail than it did in the film. I assume things will be somewhat different though from the film before the season is over in order to keep the story going since the series was recently renewed for another season after this one. So far though, the story is building the same way it did in the film, in that the Gecko brothers are on the run after robbing a bank, join up with the Fuller Family by taking them hostage in there RV so that they can evade police and make there way for El Rey. Episode 5 was the best episode I've seen yet. A small synopsis is that The Gecko Brothers and Fuller Family are almost into Mexico, but they need to get past the border checkpoint. This scene is much different than the film though, it that the stakes feel way more dangerous and higher. The story is great and smart, incorporating Wilmer Valderammas character Carlos and Ranger Gonzales who is still hot on the Gecko Brothers trail. All I have to say is by the end of the episode, you'll be wanting to see next weeks. If you've been keeping up with each episode so far, you've noticed little nods to the world of Rodriguez/Tarantino such as The Big Kahuna Burger, Earl Mcgraw's character played by Don Johnson in the series, Seth/Richies mannerisms..etc. If you get the El Rey channel, Netflix, or have internet to download, I definitely recommend keeping up with the series. It is surprisingly an entertaining show to watch on Sunday's.

The first season is a very extensive and amazing version of the movie. Of course there are parts added, but it is fully in the spirit of the movie, and very well written. The second season was a continuation of the first season, as if it was one ongoing story. However, about season III: wow. I think it's somewhat like the Godfather (comparison ends as is): part I is an epic tale, part II is rather good too, but season III is just the worst. What the f*** happened?! This is nothing like the first two seasons: the acting is (very!) cheap, the story is fully not connecting to the previous story, it's just... too simple. As if the budget was cut by 90%. This is like a new series trying to lift by on the success of the first two seasons. I just can't find the right words for how terrible this is... Like Scrubs: if you liked the first seasons, as I did very much, do not watch the last (/latest) season!!

I don't know what is this Fuzz about the 3rd Season , It was Exciting and was a Fun Watch .I Binge Watched the Entire Series in A Week So Thats a Good Show .Great Cast , Good CGI and Story What Else Do you Need. So don't buy the Negative Reviews and in your Spare Time Fun Binge the show.

Is this the best supernatural/horror show ever done? No. Is it mildly ridiculous for a director to remake his own (admittedly awesome) movie into a t.v show? Sorta.

The first few episodes AFTER the pilot seem to drag a bit, and you're left seriously questioning whether all these discombobulated plot points are actually going anywhere. That and the fact that to anyone who's seen the movie, which probably 98% of the viewership has, it may feel like an overly long trip to the bloody fun you know is coming at the Titty Twister.. When this project was first announced, I was hesitant about the idea of essentially a remake of one of my favorite movies.. Even with Robert Rodriguez at the helm. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" was my sentiment... But alas, I stuck with the whole first season, trusting in my beloved RR that he had a real vision and purpose to expanding this story...And I'm glad I did.

The back half of the first season was phenomenal.. the actors are all settled into their parts by this point, and the expanded mythology starts to come together in very satisfying ways. It bears mentioning that the whole season is beautifully and excellently shot and edited. All practical effects are flawless. I can't wait for season 2, as it will be breaking new ground and getting past the plot of the original movie. It's on Netflix ppl, check it out.
