First Kill flips genre conventions and romantic cliches on their head to tell a story about belief, betrayal, and love for all with patient ears to attend. Read full review

The disappointment of First Kill is that the show itself feels like something that can only be loved moderately. It’s a pleasant distraction that goes down easy enough — but it comes nowhere near capturing the all-encompassing allure of a really irresistible binge, let alone of a forbidden first love.

“First Kill” is a dull, predictable “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” knock-off (if Buffy was a lesbian). Read full review

The appeal of the genre is understandable, since as the examples above remind us, there are bountiful rewards if you get it right. It’s just when you miss that vein, you wind up with something as toothless, bland and fitfully silly as First Kill. Read full review

Sunk by a noxious combination of flat writing and flatter directing, the actors never get enough runway to make these characters anything but facsimiles of overwrought tropes. ... The worst offense “First Kill” commits, though, is that it never sells the central romance that should by all rights be its beating heart. Read full review

First Kill could have been a fun teen supernatural series. But its storytelling is so clumsy it’s just very hard to watch. Read full review

In some ways, First Kill does expand and improve upon the legacies of vampire fiction—particularly contemporary teen romances like Twilight and Vampire Diaries. ... Unfortunately, this show kind of bites in every other way possible. Read full review

My favourite Netflix show of 2022. Great characters with great actors with great chemistry. Fun, goofy, and campy tone.

Great characters with great actors with great chemistry. Fun, goofy, and campy tone. Refreshingly skips some tropes (doesn't wait until the end of the season to arrive at some pivotal points, but attends to them in the first episode and the rest of the season deals with the chaotic repercussions.) A queer story where the queerness isn't a source of conflict - those stories are important, but it's also important to sometimes tell stories where queerness is normal, as it ought to be. Recaptures the fun of monsters, previously found in Buffy et al.… Expand

Lacklustre, tedious, repetitive, trivial, follows the stereotypical nature of queer characters which is exacerbated by the Twilight baited formula.
