Une nuit en enfer

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!!

Much better IMO. The only thing that I missed from the original is Salma Hayek... Seriously though, I thought this did a good job rebooting something otherwise forgettable.

(Updated after Season 3).

A series-length adaptation of the movie of the same name. That was written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Now it's just the Robert Rodriguez Show...

Story is the same. Two criminal brothers, Richie and Seth Gecko, are on the run from the law in Texas. They kidnap a man and his two children and cross the border into Mexico. There they end up at a bar where not everything is at it would seem...

Like the movie, this started very well. While it was a crime-drama it was great: gritty, edgy and entertaining. Then, from a certain point it becomes a vampire/monster-drama and loses its edge. Becomes more a plain old action movie, with weird creatures.

Season 2 tried to do something different, but in doing so lost focus and just ending up going in random, pointless directions. Right then the only reason to continue watching was Eiza Gonzalez...

Unfortunately Eiza Gonzalez doesn't really have much screen time in Season 3, appearing briefly early on and then for the final two episodes. The plot in Season 3 is a bit more focused that S2, but that doesn't say much, plus it is focused on supernatural, style- over-substance nonsense. If S3 isn't the final season it is certainly, at least, my final season of watching From Dusk Till Dawn.

This show is just all kinds of awesome. It's funny, quotable, gory and maintains the nihilism that made the OG such a darkly comic classic.

Cortana and Holtz carry the Gecko name with a hefty dose of gravitas but the real star of the show is the tonal balance it maintains throughout. The fact that it works as a crime show in addition to all the supernatural shenanigans is just a testament to the quality of the concept.

If you can get past the first 4 episodes (which are easily the worst of the show) then you're in for a hell of a ride.

Ramblers, let's get rambling!

FROM DUSK TILL DAWN THE SERIES should be praised..Robert Rodriguez has delivered Top-notch entertainment with this series and for those tempted to compare it with the original movie:It's based on it. It's not meant to beat it and not based on true events. The elements and atmosphere are there and it goes on for hours. characters are fun and well casted. The Titty Twister is still the place to be and the original theme song ''After Dark'' by Tito & Tarantula has been revamped and tunes you into a new episode. It takes talent and balls for a producer to take this challenge and RR does it right. A sexy freak show,never boring and very well shot. Great Special FX. Enough characters for a 10 seasons trip and even more blood to keep it fresh. Lagrimas De Sangre!Lagrimas!!! Recommended!
