Mon petit côté vampire

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.

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 idea of waking up with superpowers on your birthday is not new, but still makes for some amusing moments. This is a light comedy-drama with scenes in home-school-urban settings.

The episodes are short, so it is easy to finish Season 1 in an evening. My first thought about this is "inconsistent." Some moments are funny, some stupid. Some sweet, some lame. Some action is good, some is juvenile. The musical rehearsals look embarrassing, but the final show is okay.

The story begins like it does not know where it is going, but it seems to gain some purpose around episode 3. The character definitions and dramatic elements become stronger as the show progresses.

The young lead actors are appealing and seem capable of doing more if given a stronger script. The target audience of young viewers should enjoy this. Adults will recognize the many cliches and have higher expectations. After all, a cliche was something new the first time you saw it.

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..

I Woke Up a Vampire had a chance to be an enjoyable series. The concept of a young teen becoming discovering she's a vampling - half human, half vampire - had potential much along the lines of Sabrina. Unfortunately, it falls prey (pun intended) to the worst tropes of teen TV. It has the nice but somewhat oblivious parents, the annoying yet clever siblings, the best friend who knows the secret and is the source of esoteric knowledge, a self-centered mean girl, the uber-evil villain with the somewhat moronic and put-upon henchman, and more.

The cast is diverse and the young actors are good. The cartoon-like antagonists, however, tend to munch the scenery a bit. The writing is really predicable and gives away almost every "twist" or surprise well before they happen. The writers don't seem to be able to decide whether it's a comedy, a dramedy, or a teen-drama. The effects are fairly mediocre. And, yes, the vampires glow.

As I said above Ultimately, if you miss this series, you won't miss much. It is pretty ignorable.
