A good start
28 February 2019
I'm a big fan of gothic horror such as Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dorian Gray, the list goes on, so I was pretty happy to discover a culmination of those stories for a more mature audience and with it's own characters to bring to the table and I must say when I first watched this a few years ago it really scratched that itch. it gets the visual style of the gothic horror exactly right, better than most if not all other shows and films and it's delightfully violent with interesting and well portrayed characters. Watching it back now that I myself have matured it certainly has it's faults such as some slightly cringeworthy dialogue and useless sexual scenes to cash in on the sex craze that shows like Game of Thrones popularised but it's still a very enjoyable watch and only gets better from here on out
