This was a two-day binge for me, because the story unfolding is seriously interesting. This is one of the rare shows where the world building and character behaviors are self-consistent and the actors manage to transport that they are taking themselves seriously. The show runners obviously take show-don't-tell seriously and are careful to avoid cliches. Great story, great acting, really strong female roles, beautiful visuals and music, lousy CGI. I am very much hoping for more.… Expand

No queerbaiti g, no waiting till the penultimate episode for the “maybe” queer characters to have a sporadic kiss that then evolves into nothing. I think it’s a great start to the series, it’s complex enough with very interesting and fleshed out characters all around. Netflix needs to give it a season 2 so that it can just keep getting better. The chemistry between the main characters Jules and Cal is palpable and to die for. Really appreciate what V.R Schwab and all involved tried to do and for the most part did with this show. I’m begging for a season 2 and for this to set a precedent for more shows with wlw main romantic stories in series.… Expand

This show was a solid watch and checked off a lot of boxes that viewers are looking for! I don't believe that there is anything else out like it currently. I just wish there were more than 8 episodes to a season.

The chemistry in this beautifully sapphic story, the representation, the camp of vampire and hunter dynamics was absolutely wonderful and needed. Sapphics deserve campy supernatural stories, too.

Sapphics deserve campy supernatural stories, too. I didn't know what I was missing in terms of sapphic shows until I saw this one. The show is self aware camp, and also gives us Buffy the Vampire Slayer dynamics, and finally gives sapphic lovers our two lesbians in love from the start of the series. The show is a breath of fresh air because it has nothing to do with period pieces, and is not queer baiting with maybe one kiss throughout the entire show.… Expand

First Kill (The Musical) is probably a great story, but I couldn’t really get into the story with all the distracting songs. Directors need to trust and believe that the writing and acting will connect viewers to the story. I counted at leastFirst Kill (The Musical) is probably a great story, but I couldn’t really get into the story with all the distracting songs. Directors need to trust and believe that the writing and acting will connect viewers to the story. I counted at least fourteen (14) songs in the first episode, eight songs played in the first nine minutes. While I did like the songs, it was just too much and very distracting. I plan to finish watching but will need to take it slow to really give the series a chance.

As always, if you made it this far, thanks for reading, and if you watch this series, let me know what you think.

Keep it interesting, Stay Channel Surfing!

The acting is mediocre at best, the story is so predictable that by episode 2 I had already guessed important parts of the ending. This had potential, if they had instead created something like Vampire the Masquerade Swansong, but obviously target for the teen element. Instead they went for the hype train, so the show gets rated not because of its real quality but because for who it's targeted for. Everyone knows this is pride month for the LGBTQ+ community, and interestingly enough you got something clearly made to take advantage of that. It's not a bad show, but it's also nothing outstanding or groundbreaking. If you're really evaluating the show for what it's and does, then you can see elements of several other previous shows all mixed together. And I guess it could've worked if those elements had been mixed correctly, and the story carried with it a much deeper world to be discovered. As it's, the over simplicity of it all makes it something you can see to pass the time, but it will not be something that's going to stay in people's list of recommended choices. This show literally adds nothing to the vampire genre. And in some moments it becomes more cheesey than even Twilight.… Expand

Look at the positive reviews if you want to see - 1) Why this show bombed.
2) Who it was meant for.

Spoilers, it wasn't for people who like vampires.
