I think it is a little better than other ratings. It had a good story that was different to other vampire movies. So just go with it and not worry too much about anything deep.

It's not the tvd/originals but good. Something is definitely missing in the storyline, but it's not half as bad people Make it to be.

I'm a sucker for all things supernatural but I just couldn't enjoy this series because of its flaws.
Let's start with the positives. The world in which the characters lived was interesting. The centre points of the story were also intriguing. Vampires have been used in series for a long time but this series provided some new aspects to the used trope. These facts made the series watchable for me.
I watched this with subtitles as I don't speak French. I noticed that sometimes when there were subtitles no one was speaking and it was weirdly quiet for a long time. This happened quite a few times. I don't know if the problem is only on my Netflix account but if not it's a huge mistake that could've easily been fixed.
The characters were very angry most of time. Sometimes for an unknown reason to me. That was actually a carrying theme throughout the series: people doing and reacting to things without any context. I found it quite funny how someone would start screaming over nothing but it doesn't make the series any better. I can't say that the acting was good either. There were a lot of empty stares...
The actions and decisions the characters made were surprising but not in a good way. Most of them were sudden and/or not in line with the characters previous decisions. The characters were overall build in a way that left them distant to me. I didn't find myself caring for them.
The bright colorful lights and the twisting and turning of the camera at some of the scenes was weird. Not "artistic" or "new". Weird. I also HATE when the camera is very close in front of a moving person but it doesn't move with the person and just stays still. It just doesn't look good and it was used in this series.
And wtf was up with that blood drinking?! So loud and forceful :D

Even with the teen drama aspects, this still pulls off a fairly captivating story. It isn't as deep as White Wolf's World of Darkness, but it does a good job. Unfortunately, it falls victim to many overused vampire tropes.

I found it boring but, then again, I'm over 12 years old and not in its target audience.

Not sure if the writing fell short or Netflix decision to okay 6 episodes instead of 8 or more assisted in low ratings for the series. Of course viewers want season 2 to receive closure for many unanswered questions and maybe possible redemption for Netflix!
Interesting show, it treats vampires as people with a genetic mutation, vampirism can't be transferred through bite and it isn't supernatural. Because the condition runs in families, it creates some interesting character dynamics. The show also looks very "real", the actors aren't attractive and look like average people while the production design looks intentionally low-budget and dirty, but it works to the show's advantage. I hope there's a second season, this is a nice middle ground between boring animalistic feral vampires like in the Strain and the lovely-dovey high school vampires like in...almost everything.

The series was watchable but not great. The show revolves around Doina, but her character is completely uncompelling, unintelligent and does completely random foolish things. The show is stylish but overall is not a well made TV series.

I cannot understand how this could have a low rating. I loved everything about it. Great writing, great acting - interesting, dark and clever. I found this show to be compelling and engrossing from start to finish. I don't usually write reviews and I'll make this short and sweet: excellent! Watch it now!!

Not sure who had the privilege of casting this series but they weren't very selective.
Series has potential but the teenage daughter Doina makes you not want to complete the series. Her character is awful or maybe that is what the writers wanted, for the viewer to dislike her. Her character is frustrating, annoying not like any other vampire show but instead a rebellious annoying teenage kid that you wish she would just get killed off from the first or second episode. If they do make a season 2 I hope they write off her character. If it wasn't for the other characters in the series I would have not continued to watch this.

Really great story, brilliant cast! Although, it would seem that most people can't live without the characters being played by picture perfect barbie dolls?! Otherwise I think it would be getting a much higher and much deserved rating!!
*Based on first episode*
A teen show similar to Teen Wolf but French (there is nudity!), gender-flipped and vampires instead of werewolves. Nothing new here but if you miss Teen Wolf (when it's still good) and Hemlock Grove you can give this a watch. Especially now since we're on lockdown not dissimilar to being a vampire.

Vampires with no fangs. I put it on to give it a chance. 3 eps in out of six. Boring. 😑 I doubt this is a "Netflix" show but someone thought this was good to get the rights for. Smh
It gets really good by the end. I think the casting and acting was great and I enjoyed the storyline. I hope there's a season 2

Loved this show. I don't understand why this is not rated higher. It is a smart show, the characters are well developed. I hope there are more episodes in the future. I'd be truly upset if there aren't more coming.. I need to know what happens next!!! Please make more episodes Netflix!!!!

Bad even for vampires story. It is a mix of many different things which does not makes sense at all. Maybe some humor would improve the story but it is too late for that. I would suggest you find another series and avoid this one.
It's one of those series that I can't remember. The only two things I remember about the show was that it had a dark color palette. But I remember they treated vampirism in a different way. It's like a secret vampire society. I can't recommend you to go and watch this series.
