Virei Vampira

My 8 year old loves this show. That's the audience. That's all you need to know about the show. It's a good quality show for younger kids who aren't ready for something more intense. As a parent it's fun to follow along and talk about. Just enjoy it for what it is.

I know the most disappointing part for my son is the idea that there is only 1 season. He's gonna be wanting to know what happens next.

One thing too it's nice to have a show that my 13 year old can watch with my 8 year old and though it's not her favorite she can enjoy it with him. So often he feels left out now that she's watching older kid shows.

A wonderful show for kids having lots of good acting, storyline plots, great music and enough fantasy mystery to keep them interested.

What struck me most was how unbelievably good Kaileen Angelic Chang (Carmie) was able to sing, act and move. She has so much grace and charisma at such a young age and the right choice as the lead.

At 26-27 minutes runtime per episode, it still packs enough punch, momentum and vibe to keep you interested, crave for more and to see what's next.

I enjoy vampire stuff, but i am not a young teen. So i don't know how fair my review can be as its surely aim at younger teens in the 10-15 bracket at best. That said i do watch movies aimed more at kids or "for the familly" on ocasions and they can always be fun even for me. My Babysitter is a Vampire for instance, both the show and movie, wich i watched a couple years ago, i enjoyed. The teens are a bit older but still.

The idea of this show is totally fine, but as someone put it, it would had worked better as a movie. The episodes are kinda short and its only 8 episodes, but you get the feeling that there is a lot of padding and by the time i finished the season, i had the impression of finishing episode 1 or 2 at most of a "regular show".

There was also a lot of inconsistencies in the characters, and in the first few episodes i found Carmie to.be quite unsufferable, but it got better later on.

Overall what else can i say? Its on Netflix, it does not take long to watch. If you have young kids or teens they may enjoy it fairly. Apparently a Season 2 is confirmed, so ill probably watch it even tough im not overly exited for it. But again, i am not the demographic for it so i really don't want to be too harsh on this.

Oh i almost forgot. There is a musical at some point. I don't know if the actress sang herself, but if she did, it was actually pretty good. I can praise this for sure.

The actors and script are pretty terrible. However, I watched the whole series because the story itself is interesting. I like the idea of Blendeds and Mythics. I was interested to see where they go with it. Unfortunately, not that far. The script and acting leave a lot to be desired. Some of the choices for the actors were laughable as well. The comic store owner is awful, as is the main villain. And don't even get me started on the twins. I do like the main kids, though. I think they have potential. I don't know if we'll get another season, but the story was interesting enough to warrant it, if they can improve the writing.

It's just bad... the idea of each characters is interesting and the story here could have been something.. but the execution is disastrous... the plot is extremely shallow even for a kids show...

It's almost like if the B-Movie genre were a tv show for kids.. was that the plan?!?

The best thing about this was probably the actual play (actually the script for that play sounds interesting)... they did get an good chuckle out of me at the end!

Netflix just announce they are increasing their pricing model again and it really makes you question what they are doing.. I suppose not everything they work on can be a winner..
