Trivia

During episode 11 of season 4, "All Apoligies", Violet is seen walking towards a room within a room - a containment room where Willem is being held, strapped to a chair. The room reference above the door reads "MAN-U.20 > LIV.18". This is a cheeky reference to the football (soccer) teams in the English Premier League; Manchester United and Liverpool, who, as well as being bitter rivals, have won a total of 20 and 18 league titles respectively. The guess here is that there is someone on the production team who is a fan of Man Utd as the reference denotes that their number of league title victories is greater than Liverpool's total. Which is correct at time of release.

User Reviews

Not sure why I keep watching, but I do

Pros: 1. The storyline is pretty good.

Cons: 1. The acting is "C" at best. 2. The script is waaaay overwritten. The characters do not talk like normal people and especially not like people in a vampire apocalypse. 3. Makeup is not very good. 4. Very obvious that this was not a high-budget series.

Even though the cons outweigh the pros, I am still watching this. I can't explain why, maybe I'm hoping it will get better.
