User Reviews

Not gonna lie but this is one of if not the only underrated and an unappreciated series I’ve watched.

An amazing vampire invasion show from the master of storytelling Guillermo del Toro. Great callback to Blade 2 with the vampires design.

This show starts of good, and keeps up the quality until the last season, when it runs out of steam. But its worth the watch

Honky Tonk Jones

It’s a solid little genre show, with some gnarly gore and intrigue. Kinda limps to the end of its run though, feeling a bit messy.

A good vampire movie that do things differently than other vampire movies. The pandemic is not cause my Mythical beast but by a worm virus

Love this show. Has that Guillermo style and finally an end of the world movie with a monster other than zombies. Grew to love characters

Well, at least these vampire weren't shiny

Joseph Last Name

Only seen some of the first season and while it looked good in some parts it was just too cheesey for me

Stylish modern vampire story, guillermo del toro leaves his mark all over it. Good fun

The Grassy Noll

Horror fans don't often get blessed with a truly terrifying TV series but this is one of the great ones
