The gore is inventive, but after the billionth bloodbath, there are still as many narrative loose ends as ever. When the story doesn't hold, even the jugular geysers feel boring. Read full review

The new episodes are mediocre in terms of plot and character development, but they're also consistently paced, and no longer bogged down by exposition. Read full review

Mostly, the show exists for its gross-out moments, always a staple of the latenight TV/movies-studios-don’t-screen-for-critics circuit. Still, it’s not like there’s a shortage of places to find either, and the plotting is so haphazard there’s scant incentive to hang around for this season’s 10 hours. Read full review

It is lurid and heated (which "Extant" could use more of) but it’s also just ridiculous and filled with awful dialogue spouted by characters about whom it is impossible to care. Read full review

This is like Anne Rice meets Stephen King . This thriller series is one of the best I have seen in a long time . Sorry True Blood but there is a new show in town . I give the acting and casting a 9 and plot and storyline a 9 and give it a 10 overall for bringing them together . BillThis is like Anne Rice meets Stephen King .

I give the acting and casting a 9 and plot and storyline a 9 and give it a 10 overall for bringing them together . Bill Skarsgård (as Roman Godfrey) and Landon Liboiron ( as Peter Rumancek) have shown there is a future for young Hollywood. The only bad thing I have to say is 10 episodes for season 2 really ? This show leaves you wanting for more and I am already wanting to see season 3 .… Expand

To heck with the critics, I started watching last year and couldn't stop. I started the first episode yesterday and it is proceeding the same way. All of the actors are engaging and the storyline is horror filled and intense. What's not to like!

Love this show...if you can be patient through the build up...it's a worthy payoff! Can't wait until season 3. There are many loose ends the show must now clear up, but it should make for a insane 3rd season!

This is one of the best new shows. Very original not rehashed old ideas. If you a totally new, different, great story that is not predictable give this try

This season is MUCH better than S1 in pacing. Its still crazy and entertaining summer fluff. Don't listen to the critics who compare this show to House of Cards or Orange is the New Black. or even True blood.

This season has been an amazing ride. Honestly.

What is keeping me from giving this season a 10/10 rating, is because I noticed a little bit of needless gore, the plot spent like 7 episodes to actually start the real plot, But I would totally reccomended, and Hemlock Grove continues to become my favorite series as of now.

Don't listen to the critics, they just like the overrated stuff. Rather listen to the viewers! Hope Netflix renews this show for a third season. :)… Expand

I really liked the first season and i immediatly watched season two when it was released. Unfortunately the second season turned out to be very unlike the first and very poorly directed.

All the new charecters have very little depth, and often do things that make no sense in order for it to fit into the plot. The character Miranda is a victim of this, she continually changes her mind when it fits the plot. The further you go into the season the more obvious it is that Miranda is not actually meant to be a meaningfull character but just a plot device

But even overlooking the fact that all the new characters in the show are very poorly written, the show has no consistency and doesnt expand or explain many of the mysterious things going on. Everything appears to happen randomly, in fact so random that the only meaning that can be applied to the events is that it fits the plot, which is still nonexistant.

The show also does many things that makes it hard to immerse yourself into the universe. For example at one point in the movie the characters need help from an old woman. They need her to help identify someone so they bring her a paper with suspects and numbers below. Instead of merely pointing, or telling them the number she writes it with her own feces on the wall.

Instances like these ruins the universe and makes it hard to take anything in the series at anything but face value.

And dont even get me started on the ending....… Expand
