So I read the reviews for this show halfway through watching it... Just finished the season... OK first off I think some people on here are being way way way harsh... Doesn't mean some of them aren't making valid points I won't spoil anything and I'll just say my piece.
Yeah the acting is pretty bad sometimes but you know what I don't blame that on the actors I blame it on the writers because they didn't write it right. Or the director because he didn't make the actors stick to the script... Either way the acting is kind of a mess.
There is some good gore throughout the season, would have liked to see a little more or a little more intimate gorefest with the vampires.
Need ideas for how this shit works it kind of reminds me of Z nation or helix or something like that... But the first season of those two shows somehow just captivated me... This one I wasn't captivated but I wanted to know what happened next and I forgive bad acting because sometimes bad acting is just what the doctor ordered... And I'm not saying the acting is terrible it's OK for what they are being given to work with... Not great or special but not unforgivable.
The special-effects are fairly cool, pretty sparing but that's usually the fair for most shows like it they only have so much of a special effects budget so again I let it slide the effects look pretty cool.
I say give them a season two and really put the riders to the test tell them the writing needs to be amped up and make more sense and feel more impactful... It's not a smash hit from the get go but I think it could have potential I like the idea of what's going on between vampires and people... It's a terrible analogy but kind of reminds me of somewhere between Z nation and true blood... I don't know how but those of the two that come to mind... Give it a chance expect nothing and I think you'll agree it's OK it's not terrible... Somethings are pretty bad but, I say give 'em a shot
