    • Trivia
      The brand of cigarettes that Mrs. Martinez smokes, Morley, is not a real brand, but it has been a popular fake cigarette brand in TV shows and movies since 1960, when it appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho (1960). Perhaps its best-known use was as the brand preferred by the "Cigarette Smoking Man" on The X-Files (1993).
    • Goofs
      Gasoline cannot be siphoned directly from one car to another. It simply does not work that way.
    • Crazy credits
      Season 2 episode "The Battle for Red Hook" has an extended animated opening credit sequence.
    • Connections
      Featured in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Jeffrey Tambor/Corey Stoll/Hailee Steinfeld/Nate Morton (2016)

    Da Vinci-Dl Toro started a masterpiece and then spilled broth on it
    You will enjoy this show if you 1. are living in 70s 2. can put your common logic on hold 3. horror genre fanatic regardless of the plot holes

    in all cases otherwise, you will not! there are holes after holes but the worst is switching " A WHOLE KID" from a sweet boy to someone you want to smack for no reason!

    Some other worthy of mention are . 1.An all powerful master often hires petty humans to do simple chores. 2. A very important coffin once destroyed turns out to be of no consequence. 3. The age old holocaust clichés, like seriously. how long are they going to milk this goat? 4. No one has a clue for a long long time and then all of a sudden the whole world knows and the mighty USA deploys 200 troops to protect the 2nd largest city in the world. 5. There are needless scenes after scenes that have no connection to the ongoing plot. Quite obviously they are having difficulty filling a 50 minutes episode.

    Plot holes are not where it stops, some of the main actors should have been sucked out by the master just on poor performance. ie Dutch, the kid, (they will do wonderful as dumb vampires.)

    Its a good plot being ravaged by below average writers. Hope del toro is taking note of this.
