Review

Invested right away

First off i like vampire shows so im already on board with the idea of the show. The story itself i think is really unique and puts a different spin on your average vampire myths and storytelling so im interested in this perspective of theirs. The acting is decent, nothing i can see wrong with anybody's acting abilities, also the characters themselves are interesting and the show does a fairly decent job of developing the stories surrounding everyone, it doesnt tell you everything right away but eventually everyone gets their fair amount of screen time and get to know me moments. The story progresses at a decently good pace so its not a drag and for me thats important for a show, character development is good but story progression is just as important and i think this show finds a good balance between the two.
