It's campy with some angst. A bit more drama with relatable human reactions since they never wanted to be monsters but it's not heavy psychological terror nor "edgy emo"... They don't really dwell on that. Kept things fairly light hearted. It has kind of a dry-wit humor if you're into that. Colorful and not gray/drab which is always a plus! The overall vibe is very...modern grunge?
Not a masterpiece nor the best...some questionable acting in some parts, wonky cgi, some inconsistencies...not really the biggest budget... but I liked it and found the main characters and their dynamic with each other fun and the story progression interesting. I love their banters with one another. I think they all have good chemistry even with the side characters.
My favorite is Dr Sarkov, he is not what you'd think he is, based on what he was presented in the trailer. He is better. Tilda is my 2nd favorite. Love her emotional range throughout the show. I didn't find any other characters hateful but I can understand those who might not like some of the characters like typical the "Ms goody two shoes" personality.
Story lore wise there's not a lot of depth or like a dozen potentials to explore since it's fairly straight forward... just people who became monstrous without their consent and now they want to undo it. It's not like other monster shows that have world building done on the monsters themselves. The monsters here are mere side effects. The plot twist isn't something that surprising but it did make me want to have a season 2.
I'd recommend this for those looking for chill night of a non heavy hearted sci-fi fantasy with action and drama and some comedy sprinkled in. It's not revolutionary or anything but the character driven focus and their relationship dynamic I think makes up for it. If you're into shows like Teen Wolf or Mutants or Misfits...you might like it?
Warning: Fair amount of blood in this show.
