Review
I only recently was talked into watching the first episode by my Daughter as I avoid the Undead Ghost Vampire genre. I was blown away! I could not stop watching and had to get EVERY episode! They made 6 episodes year 1 and about 12 year 2 at 42 minutes an episode the entire year 1ɢ run time is around 12 hours total and COULD RUN AS ONE 12 HOUR MOVIE and you would still not wanna leave for popcorn. The end of each episode left me dying for the next one The writing is incredible the character development amazing and don't suppose you know who will live or die here cause you will have no idea. The quality makes it seem as if all other series are quaint and boring. I find myself thinking about the next episode every day. VERY WATCHABLE VERY ENTERTAINING GREAT GREAT SERIES!!
