I sat down with my husband looking forward to seeing this series as it had gotten such great reviews on IMDb - but I was very quickly really disappointed.

The contrived, silly, cliché-filled of vampire and how they move predator like is one thing. I can almost live with.

But the acting.... is really, really bad and I'm now halfway into season 2 and apart from Steven Cree as Gallowlglass, none of the actors have any charisma or screen presence at all. In fact, it's like watching a cheap soap.

And then there are the sets... there needs to be thrown a heck of a lot more money into this before this will work at all.

Another thing is there is absolutely zero chemistry between the series' various couples... Hard to believe in the grande love story. In fact, it's unbelievable.

Scripts are poor, special effects are poor, story is poor, fighting sequences are poor. No, it's a crap series fit for children and young adults only.
