Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

worthwood Other than the great Christopher Heyerdahl the acting in this show is very sub-par. The female lead, all the youth/child actors and Johansson stand out as especially bad in this. The fight scenes are done poorly, the blood/gore effects and CGI are below average compared to other modern shows in this genre. The writing is not bad but pretty thin with not very involved story lines other than murder/revenge/rescue plots. Skip this one unless you're a huge vampire fan who wants to see every film and series in the genre.

giveitmehraw I'm only on the 5th episode and so far I've seen nothing but disappointment. Acting is terrible, some scenes when the actors are crying, it definitely wasn't convincing at all. If the directors settled for this level of acting, this makes the director a terrible director as well. I don't know why I can't stop myself from comparing this to TWD but this really feels like a washed out version of TWD. Some people are saying it gets better later on so I will keep watching to see how it turns out.

joel-AH7 At first the show didn't do a lot for me. I know, it's weird to rate the show so highly and start with a comment like that, but hear me out. Like any new series, it took a while to find its feet, in the beginning it felt like a B grade vampire flick. But its off charm kept me watching as slowly but surely the show began to reveal more and more.For most of the first season the character development seemed weak. Vanessa goes from being a blunt ass-kicker to being in the exact same position at the end of the season. No real growth. And as a personal gripe I felt that Susan left the show too soon. I don't know if she was given enough of a chance to grow. But that's just me. Sam's character, and perhaps Axel's being the nony exception. I remember feeling bitter at the end of season 1 because of that. Also I'm not sure Vnessa's anger toward Axel is entirely deserved, her reaction felt forced. And not a consequence of the acting, but rather the writing of that moment.Despite that criticsm though, the series was nonetheless engaging, I felt pulled into the world they lived in. I feelt for the characters and believed their struggle in the midst of an apocalypse. I cared about what happebed and that alone should speak to the show's ability to create a contained and believable world.Then came season 2 and oh boy was that an improvement on season 1!!! I was surprised by the move to no give ANY of the characters wha they wanted, and I loved that. The development of Vanessa's character had greater potential because of it, not being pulled along by a single specific directive. Though she is still a blunt ass-kicker, the advent of blood relatives serves to normalise her eccentricities rather than making her as a character seem forced. The development of both the charcters ad the world itself was fantastic. I will forever sing the praises of the writers of this show for making te decision to turn Julius human! Instead of just killing him off, this gave us al an opportunity to see what it would be like for someone to be human again for the first time in nearly a century. The scene with him and Doc eating is perhaps the most heartwarming and ingenious scene of the entire eason. It's such a simple scene, but incredibly powerful in terms of story. The positioning of the characters both in terms of their individual development, and where they are left at the end of season 2 is exciting. Each of the characters has faultered and lossed greatly. Redemption, loss, victory, life and death. The stage is set for season 3.I like what is happening with Sam and Mo. I've loved the fear and pai n of his character and hope to see more. My pesonal hope/challenge to the creators would be to take Sam's journey ina way that presents a meaningful challenge for him. He owes much of his pwer to the control he has over his victims. His fall wouldidealy come manifest from losig that control. His fear should coe fro 0m first seeibgit, feeling it. That is my hope snyway, wat happens happens really.That's about it, I think. If you're looking to watch this series. Give it time. It may not grab yo immediately. But it is worth warchi g the first few episodes at the very least. And if you can stick it out the first few. You may well end up liking it more and more as it goes on. I look forward to season 3.

jacob_gram Is it the hairbrained decisions that keep leading to dumb scenarios? The poor acting and dialogue that feels straining lay forced or cliche at times? That the story seems to be written without a destination in mind? I can't put my finger on it. Just watched till s2e1 and the constant facepalming and cringing is too much. I have been waiting for the show to get going, 1 season later, that hasn't yet happened.
