Craig B @Boundsy Jan 14 A very good scifi horror series. See more Michael T @Tur7on Apr 10 This was a bit of a slog compared to the 2 previous seasons and at some points I was struggling to see where they were trying to take it, but perseverance pays off and it gets you ready for the last series See more NONBELIEVER 07/20/2023 Season 3 is just as solid as the others. "Critics" gave this season 55%, which is garbage and another reason you should not listen to critics and just see it for yourself. The only bad thing about the series is the recast of Zack. Max Charles, and I hate to say this about a kid, has the most punchable face. He is absolutely annoying and and brings nothing positive to the show. See more Anthony L 02/13/2023 Setrakian and Fet's story lines really keep me entertained. It is really the heartbeat of the franchise. The rest of the cast keep it interesting enough. Zach is by far the worst character in the series. The story line really starts getting dark in this season. I am looking forward to the conclusion and hopefully some prequels. I really enjoyed Quinlan this season. See more tarek a @tarekali 09/05/2022 One of the most deliciously depressing series I have ever seen, as depressing as the Walking Dead or any global apocalypse scenario, where humanity falls into darkness simply because of arrogance, infighting and close-mindedness. The viewer might ask why this plague did not consume humanity before. As the series rolls out there are genuine reasons for that, based on our scientific progress, coupled with social isolation and mistrust. All the emo vampire shows with pale tall models are pathetic and bizarre compared to this realistic horror saga. To portray the strigoi vampire species as a pathogenic host-based organism is a genius move. The mechanisms and modalities of this species make sense as they are rooted firmly in biology. The special effects are equally compelling and gory, a real blood fest sure to please any horror fan. The characters of this show are relatable and memorable. Each person does their very best to turn the tide in favour or against humanity, based on their ethos. Certainly Abraham Setrakian and Thomas Eichorst tower over the rest, ancient immortal foes against each other. The other great strife between the Master and the Born is an epic duel of fates. The supporting cast makes a great team across the board, demonstrating the central theme of the show, that evil uses love to win. The deep roots of the series in history add tremendous depth to the events, showing the repeating cycle of good versus evil. This show embodies "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that the good do nothing". Though the series is a short 4 seasons, it completes a beautiful arc and ends with a clean slice. A really well-made show that puts you through the wringer with tension and shock, but does not once lose its footing and consistency.

Great script and dialogue. Solid directing and the casting was PERFECT! Just great how they use people of all ages, accents and backgrounds. Makes for a super colorful cast to compliment the super colorful bloody monsters. A side note: I was watching the season/episode where the zombies are after the heroes at midnight, quite spooky. As the zombies attacked, lights go out.... and just as that happened my lights went out and I lost internet service. What a great and terrifying coincidence! I hope it doesn't happen during this second viewing though. Ha ha ha See more Read all reviews
