Anybody beside me watching it? I'm liking it quite a bit, so far. Five episodes in, and still wondering who are the heroes and who the villains. Everybody seems to be a little of both.

just started this. actually about to go start episode three, while i get some mindless busy work done.

Started it, almost didn't like it b/c I got this douchy twilight/campy True Blood vibe from it. First several episodes can be hard to follow, all i will say is it all comes into focus by the end of the season...I kinda liked it.

It seems as thought S1 is a slick intro/character building tale and hints that the meat of the series has yet to come type cliffhanger...good enough to keep me entertained. But I also love Spongebob so take that for what it's worth.

So as long as they don't drop the ball I'll keep watching.

I expected better from Netflix.

Yeah, I was a little worried about the teen angst angle at first, too, but they haven't overdone that so far. I like the subtle references to older horror stories (Shelley, especially), and the way that everybody has their own dark secrets. I think they could do a bit better delineating between dreams, flashbacks, and present day, but it's not bad enough to be a turn off.

I have a hemlock in the yard. It's about 60' tall.

 

[Magnetron]

Awesome.

And if I remember correctly, the episodes are a little over 50 mins long ..... so it added up to a few additional episodes along the way.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Though I must admit "the change" was interesting, more of a human molt, and then he eats his own skin.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Switching to vampyres.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Netflix just added season 2.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Whoa. It might have just jumped the shark.

 

[Disgustipated]

I just saw the commercial for the first today and will start soon.

 

[Magnetron]

Jinxed it. Only 10 episodes for season 2. Should a kept my mouth shut.
