    I think From Dusk TIll Dawn is a very nice, but inconsistent(esp. the story) tv show ! It has pretty badass moments, but also very boring sequences, but it´s worth a shot !

    Don't get me wrong, I wanted to like the show because Rodriguez himself was behind it and the actors seem likeable. I also wanted to like it because previous Netflix orginals were amazing and this show was sure to be one as well. However, this show fell extremely short of my expectations.

I also wanted to like it because previous Netflix orginals were amazing and this show was sure to be one as well. However, this show fell extremely short of my expectations. I kept trudging on from episode to episode, expecting it to get better. Alas, with each episode, I grew not to love the Gecko brothers, but to hate them and every. single. character. I ultimately had to end my suffering after five episodes.
    This show lacks one very important thing - good writing. The writing is not only weak, but it insults the viewer by assuming the viewer is dumb. It's infuriating to watch the Fullers and Freddie make irrational decisions as well as for the Gecko brothers to keep slipping past police in ways that obviously won't happen in the real world. Human beings can't possibly be as stupid as they are depicted on the show! The actual dialogue is uninspired - filled with corny sayings and lacks the sharpness found in other Netflix shows like House of Cards or Orange is the New Black.
    I'm not going to get into the acting or the strange pacing of the show because I can go on and on about those things and several other faults of the show. Instead, I'll end off with one positive: the movie was great and this show had so much potential to expand on the stories of the characters as well as the mythology. Anti-heroes, characters with mysterious pasts, and ancient Mesoamerican supernatural beings? This is the recipe for a great show! Some better writing could have made this show one of my favourites.
    I'm giving this show a 4 as opposed to the 2 or 3 that it deserves because I still have hope that the remaining five episodes I have yet to watch were somewhat of an improvement. Sadly, I don't think I can stomach it and so, my journey with this show ends at episode five.    … Expand

    Two episodes into the first season and I'm not sure.

    Kinda hipstery without being hip. Tarrantino-inspired script but lacking Tarrantino. Big explosions that used to be cool a few decades ago, mostly silly nowadays. Gunshots that either always miss or never. A vampire situation that isn't particularly dreadful or scary. And speaking of hit-or-miss, the acting, the dialogue,    Two episodes into the first season and I'm not sure.

Gunshots that either always miss or never. A vampire situation that isn't particularly dreadful or scary. And speaking of hit-or-miss, the acting, the dialogue, everything really. Hinckley from the New York Daily News said 'Fans of the film will devour the TV series' and I beg to differ as a fan of the original film. Jury is still out, sometimes shows like this can catch a stride, but for me anyway, it hasn't yet.    … Expand

    It's probably enough to say that if you like this sort of thing, this is just the sort of thing you'll like. (If the tautology fits, wear it.) Rodriguez knows how this machine works as well as anyone alive. Whether such sensationalist kicks are good for us "as a people," or indeed as people in particular, is a question the culture and its guardians and gadflies have been batting around for years. A decision is not due any time soon.

    Fans of the film will devour the TV series, and nonfans might give it a shot. Just be forewarned that it’s not “Blue Bloods.” It’s more like cold blood.

    The original film’s strengths are washed out in this version, which is instead mining it for televisual drama.
