      • Sep 09, 2023
        Good First season! With a good mistery at the core of the story and interesting and characters, it makes for a good watch. The show's more limited budget leads to a more intimate setting that really allows for a more tense and genuine storyline.
      • Jun 11, 2023
        Very much my genre, so I have seen a lot and loved this. Doesn't breakout much from what it is but the lead does an excellent job and keeps this show going.
      • Oct 14, 2022
        Suspension of disbelief not achieved... Vanessa lacks the street smarts that one would expect from Van Helsing. Her dialogs and reactions drastically mismatch situations. Eg. Punching Mohamad for startling her almost feral vampire daughter. "Buffy the vampire slayer" was a more believable Van Helsing type character.

        been watching Van Helsing and midway through season 3 I would rather cut my own vas deferens and drink it dry rather than to watch another episode.
      • Sep 11, 2022
        I've watched 2 seasons, I don't know why I still bother at this point... Every single classical plot twist, literally one after another after another, it's like watching Dynasty with Vampires. Visuals aren't at all what you'd hope for in this day and age, it's NOTHING like the movie, the writing is sloppy to say the least and down right stupid at its worst, like characters suddently know things they shouldn't know just because they wanted to go on with the story, which I find unacceptable to be honest. From one cliche plot twist to another, I am yet to see anything that is worth this series, that makes this series its own unique story and seriously 2 seasons and you don't know anything about this world, except that it is "infested with vampires" and everyone is just running around like a maniac. 3 Failed attempts at building some structure and now utterly killed it with the "elders" and the "Van Helsing", like come on! I hope to all vampires that it picks up quickly because even I am running out of patience here, I'd rather stare at a blank wall than see another cliche plot twist and lazy writing!

        Dark, Dismal, Uninteresting just another Vampire season we have only seen so many, and this will not ever be up there with some of the best vampire series like True Blood and others.
      • Feb 24, 2022
        this is interesting from the beginning like not boring at all def worth to watch

        Van helsing is capturing. But as a romanian citizen I can say that their translation is bogus. A lot of mistakes in verbage and the tense and also in the accent. I think that if you want to use a different culture or proper language verbage you have to get more intell from the actual culture. It sounds so bad to hear that they speak Romanian on that verbage and accent. I feel like they arr g the Romanian culture. But again it is a captivating show. Kist dissapoint in the fact that for few hunders of dollar they could have actually use a romanian translator or interpretor. The way they talk romanian and also the accent....is very innacurate and offensive to my culture as romanian

        I saw this show in "currently popular". The premise seemed like something I'd love, and there's something there but I couldn't bring myself to go past Season 1 Episode 3, and frankly I'm shocked to read how people say this is when the show was good. The constant fades between scenes with abruptly chopped stock music, make it look like someone just edited this in Windows Movie Maker. The set design is poor, I laughed out loud at some absurdities like wet glossy blood on a baby carrier that's supposed to have been ravaged at least 3 years prior, or a seemingly never-ending supply of bullets and smokes that we're supposed to believe were in short supply months before the story kicks off. The scenario seems to have some potential but we are forced to slog behind infuriating characters that refuse to observe anything around them and act with no consistency or agency. The final straw was the grizzled marine who survived 3 years in almost complete isolation yelling out in fury "SHUT THE FRICK UP". I lost it. Yeah this is bad.
