User Reviews

Surprisingly Good!

Not my normal television genre, my sister raved about Vampire Diaries and mentioned this show was from the same showrunner and from the same author's works, so I gave it a shot. Initially, I only knew about Britt Robertson, but I was delighted to see some stellar newcomers and veterans.

The show looks promising. It doesn't seem afraid to go dark when necessary, nor does it appear to rush into anything. The stars are agreeably pretty, but Thomas Dekker and Robertson seem able to anchor the youngsters. Thrilled to see Natasha Henstridge and can't wait to see what's in store for her.

If the show doesn't embrace the camp, if it goes for a fairly realistic portrayal of teenagers (unlike, say, Twilight), this could be a lot of fun to watch. Fingers crossed!
