Me desperté vampira

My 8 year old loves this show. That's the audience. That's all you need to know about the show. It's a good quality show for younger kids who aren't ready for something more intense. As a parent it's fun to follow along and talk about. Just enjoy it for what it is.

I know the most disappointing part for my son is the idea that there is only 1 season. He's gonna be wanting to know what happens next.

One thing too it's nice to have a show that my 13 year old can watch with my 8 year old and though it's not her favorite she can enjoy it with him. So often he feels left out now that she's watching older kid shows.

Seems like there are quite a few complaints here about this series, probably by adults who've forgotten that it was designed to be viewed by children. My 9 year old grandson enjoyed it and never complained once about the acting or anything else. I watched along with him and the only thing I didn't like was that the second series isn't there to find out what happens next.

Acting-wise I think all did the best they could with what they had to work with, and the story does hold your interest. Granted, it's a grade B production overall, but the idea here was to make a series with likable vampires, werewolves, etc., where "bad" people actually turn out to be good. Where your assumed enemies are later transformed into friends. Lots of good lessons to learn here.

I Woke Up a Vampire had a chance to be an enjoyable series. The concept of a young teen becoming discovering she's a vampling - half human, half vampire - had potential much along the lines of Sabrina. Unfortunately, it falls prey (pun intended) to the worst tropes of teen TV. It has the nice but somewhat oblivious parents, the annoying yet clever siblings, the best friend who knows the secret and is the source of esoteric knowledge, a self-centered mean girl, the uber-evil villain with the somewhat moronic and put-upon henchman, and more.

The cast is diverse and the young actors are good. The cartoon-like antagonists, however, tend to munch the scenery a bit. The writing is really predicable and gives away almost every "twist" or surprise well before they happen. The writers don't seem to be able to decide whether it's a comedy, a dramedy, or a teen-drama. The effects are fairly mediocre. And, yes, the vampires glow.

As I said above Ultimately, if you miss this series, you won't miss much. It is pretty ignorable.

It's just bad... the idea of each characters is interesting and the story here could have been something.. but the execution is disastrous... the plot is extremely shallow even for a kids show...

It's almost like if the B-Movie genre were a tv show for kids.. was that the plan?!?

The best thing about this was probably the actual play (actually the script for that play sounds interesting)... they did get an good chuckle out of me at the end!

Netflix just announce they are increasing their pricing model again and it really makes you question what they are doing.. I suppose not everything they work on can be a winner..

A wonderful show for kids having lots of good acting, storyline plots, great music and enough fantasy mystery to keep them interested.

What struck me most was how unbelievably good Kaileen Angelic Chang (Carmie) was able to sing, act and move. She has so much grace and charisma at such a young age and the right choice as the lead.

At 26-27 minutes runtime per episode, it still packs enough punch, momentum and vibe to keep you interested, crave for more and to see what's next.
