The writers were obviously angling for a mysterious sensibility with the supernatural aspect of the show being talked about rather than seen (ala Game of Thrones, or The Leftovers), but delivered on the backs of a weak story and weaker characters, the supernatural expounding only adds to the sluggish pacing.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved season 1 (you can see my previous review.) but season 3 was just so weak. Miranda's off-screen death was unacceptable. Dr Pryce's death was sooo random. So many off-screen non-sense and not enough werewolves! And I feel like they just killed so many people for no reason... We know it's the last season, you don't have to murder 3/4 of the casting crew. It really felt rushed and inelegant, unlike the first season and second season (which I did enjoy, but not as much as seaon one). To watch for closure, but don't expect anything really good.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Over three seasons Netflix's "Hemlock Grove" follows the supernatural residents of Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania which include: vampires (upirs), werewolves (vargulfs), Jarmungandrs (don't ask) and a Frankenstein monster (a teenage girl in a mutilated giant's body). I at times wonder what I'm watching or if someone slipped a little LSD into my diet Coke. Yes, it's that bizarre.

"Hemlock Grove" goes where no others have gone before. Sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it's not so good. You can't say they're not creative. The actors give it their all and aren't bad. Bill Skarsgard as Roman and Landon Liboiron as Peter are standouts. Joel de la Fuente as Dr Johann Pryce is compelling. He's also currently on "The Man In The High Castle". I wanted to see much more of Destiny (Tilo Horn) . Too bad the actors didnt have better material to work with.

There are some great gory moments. Eli Roth (of "Hostel" and "Cabin Fever" fame) is the executive producer after all. See exploding preggo guy as one such example.

There are also some truly funny moments. Here's a few:
Olivia making fun of Johann pontificating is always good for a laugh.
Olivia fighting with herself while her personality was in two different people while her imaginary friend Chango/Issac joins in was great.
Those Spivak babies seriously look like tiny stingrays. Am I right or am I right?

And now for my long list of criticisms. Was the budget blown before they added the CGI? Cause it is atrocious. It really takes away from the story. If you're going to have a giant flying reptoid, ya really gotta sell it.

The story is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Plots emerge and then disappear for no apparent reason. See the Order of the Dragon from season 2 as one such example. See the infected upirs from season 3 as another. Did they write the show as they went along? There is little to no cohesion. A big deal initially was made about the Ouroboros Project only for it to fizzle out later.

There is also a revolving door of characters who have little to nothing to do with the story. See the Chasseurs, Peter's mom Lynda, and Ms Padilla as examples. The dialogue is so bad at times that it's laugh out loud funny. Olivia's accent comes and goes. Just pick one and stick with it darling.

One of my chief complaints about "Hemlock Grove" is that the story climaxes are either in the wrong places or nonexistent. Examples include:
Destiny- was quickly killed by Roman after she confronted him about Andreas. There was no buildup whatsoever. Destiny deserved better.
Miranda- lots of time was spent with her in season 2 only to find her dead and rotting in Spivak's cabin. Well that was uneventful. The actress must have had other shows to do.
Annie- killed herself in a blaze of glory after telling Olivia she prayed for her to be everything she currently wasn't. I'm still not sure what the point of Annie being in town was. She was a very strange girl.
Dr Spivak- after being the "big bad" in season 2 he was easily dispatched and stomped into the ground. WAY TOO EASY. He didnt live all those centuries by being so stupid.
Dr Pryce- there wasnt much buildup to his death either-- except that we learned his consciousness was uploaded into someone else (at least partially) before that.

In the end, only two deaths were dealt with appropriately.

Olivia- after Annie toasted herself, Olivia imagines she's a wildly successful actress on the London stage. In reality, she's dying in the floor, cradling a charred Annie in her arms. She eats her flesh (just as Johann predicted).

Roman- Roman is killed by his best bro (and, according to some, soul mate). Peter gets an assist by Destiny's ghost and they tumble out a window. Peter pulls out Roman's heart. Roman is dead and Peter is stuck in wolf form for the rest of his life

I've always given "Hemlock Grove" points for creativity and goriness. Unfortunately it's still not enough to overcome this hot mess. It's a shame since the show had lots of potential. If only a giant winged reptoid could have whisked me away before watching season 3.… Expand

Ugh this show sucks so bad. It has never actually been a good show but interesting things occasionally happen and there are some good acting performances. The writing is almost entirely to blame. None of the seasons have made any sense but at least the first season had some semblance ofUgh this show sucks so bad. It has never actually been a good show but interesting things occasionally happen and there are some good acting performances. The writing is almost entirely to blame. None of the seasons have made any sense but at least the first season had some semblance of plot. Second season has some interesting twists I guess but they come out of nowhere. This third season though? May be one of the most confusing piece of crap I have ever watched. I have never liked this series yet I have an obsession to finish a series I start watching. After watching maybe two episodes of the first season I disliked it but I had to continue because I had started.

The only scenes in the entirety of the series as in throughout all 3 seasons worth anything are the ones at Godfrey labs. This isn't because these scenes are actually any good just because they are at least watchable when compared to the rest of the random crap in this series.

If you feel my opinion is biased and can't trust my review trust this. Season 3 premiered on Netflix in October. In that time ONE professional review has been posted online. ONE single solitary review. This means that critics who actually love to bash terrible tv shows and movies won't even give this the time of day. It is THAT bad. I had to see it through to the end because I have a problem but if you don't have that obsession to finish watching a series you start even if it ends up being terrible save your brain cells.

There are some good actors here they are just given terrible often incomprehensible dialog. I really don't know what Eli Roth was doing here. I tried to figure it out so many times and I just can't. The only way I can recommend this series to anyone is if you like to watch terrible movies and tv shows and make fun of them mystery science theater 3000 style. Otherwise you are just wasting time you will never get back as I did >… Expand
