IndieWire Tambay Obenson

Season 1 Review: There’s enough early momentum supported by convincing performances, chemistry between the two leads, a setting that is its own character, vampire encounters, and general whoopee vibrations that indicate how much fun co-creators Thornton and Fletcher likely had in making it. It’s palpable and contagious. Let’s hope it doesn’t later betray the promise it kicks off with. Read full review

Season 1 Review: All these productions have a strong sense of place, but Firebite is something else. You wouldn’t want every new show to be shot in Coober Pedy – but damn, it works for this one. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Barnes-Cowan and Collins are just so arrestingly good, both together and apart, that they’re a treat to watch even when the story is dragging. Read full review

Season 1 Review: At times, the images evoke found footage, and at others they’re infused with the inkiness and sense of depth of a comic book panel, but their inconsistent aesthetics feel haphazard rather than considered. ... In contrast to the strained physicality of the fight scenes, [the blow-up between Tyson and Shanika] bottles not just Tyson’s grace, but the acuity with which Firebite explores the dangers of monsters real and imagined.

I tried. I made it to episode three and just couldn't do it anymore. Wooden acting, bad character development, low production value and way too many shots focused on a "mad maxed" Subaru.I generally enjoy Aussie TV, and the heavy involvement of aboriginal folks is a welcome sign to be sure.I tried.

Yep, agree with Celebrated, I too made through ep 3 and found no reason to go on. It's low budget, poor visuals (desolate Australian outback environment), the principal players are homely looking, the pace is too slow, and it's just overall boring for a rabid vampire show. It's just a big 'ol fail.
