    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).

    While the eight episodes are packed with CW-grade supernatural nonsense. ... It's the kind of nonsense that goes down easy depending on your tolerance for campiness and dialogue such as, "You ate my mother?"

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

    My favourite Netflix show of 2022. Great characters with great actors with great chemistry. Fun, goofy, and campy tone. Refreshingly skipsMy favourite Netflix show of 2022. 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. Full Review »
