Une nuit en enfer

(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.

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.

Based on the FROM DUSK TILL DAWN movie from 1996. And it went for 3 seasons but it stopped.

This is not a sequel to the film but rather a remake in television series form featuring the same characters from the movie.

The vampire mythology has been changed from the movie and has been expanded on more in the television show.

The first season was great. Very familiar to the movie but with a lot of differences. I thought the second series went downhill a bit. It was entertaining enough and fun to watch but it did seem to drag on for a few episodes. Thankfully the third season picked the pace back up. It seemed rushed but it was back on track. Even though it ended they did leave it open in a way that they could do another season down the track.

I do not know why they stopped making the series. A lot of people were angry when they found out it wasn't renewed. It was the most popular show on that channel at the time. But oh well, sometimes things must come to an end.

Everyone who was cast did an AMAZING job. I hope one day they all work together again as the chemistry they had was great.

The show wasn't as violent as the movie but like the movie there was some well written dialogue and humour throughout.

I highly recommend this show if you were a fan of the movies or if you like vampire related shows in general. Even if you are not a fan of such a genre, it is still worth checking out.

Hopefully we will get something else set in the world of From Dusk Till Dawn again one day

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!

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.
