    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 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.)

    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.
