From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series

(Updated after Season 3).

A series-length adaptation of the movie of the same name. That was written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Now it's just the Robert Rodriguez Show...

Story is the same. Two criminal brothers, Richie and Seth Gecko, are on the run from the law in Texas. They kidnap a man and his two children and cross the border into Mexico. There they end up at a bar where not everything is at it would seem...

Like the movie, this started very well. While it was a crime-drama it was great: gritty, edgy and entertaining. Then, from a certain point it becomes a vampire/monster-drama and loses its edge. Becomes more a plain old action movie, with weird creatures.

Season 2 tried to do something different, but in doing so lost focus and just ending up going in random, pointless directions. Right then the only reason to continue watching was Eiza Gonzalez...

Unfortunately Eiza Gonzalez doesn't really have much screen time in Season 3, appearing briefly early on and then for the final two episodes. The plot in Season 3 is a bit more focused that S2, but that doesn't say much, plus it is focused on supernatural, style- over-substance nonsense. If S3 isn't the final season it is certainly, at least, my final season of watching From Dusk Till Dawn.

Based on the FROM DUSK TILL DAWN movie from 1996. And it went for 3 seasons but it stopped.

This is not a sequel to the film but rather a remake in television series form featuring the same characters from the movie.

The vampire mythology has been changed from the movie and has been expanded on more in the television show.

The first season was great. Very familiar to the movie but with a lot of differences. I thought the second series went downhill a bit. It was entertaining enough and fun to watch but it did seem to drag on for a few episodes. Thankfully the third season picked the pace back up. It seemed rushed but it was back on track. Even though it ended they did leave it open in a way that they could do another season down the track.

I do not know why they stopped making the series. A lot of people were angry when they found out it wasn't renewed. It was the most popular show on that channel at the time. But oh well, sometimes things must come to an end.

Everyone who was cast did an AMAZING job. I hope one day they all work together again as the chemistry they had was great.

The show wasn't as violent as the movie but like the movie there was some well written dialogue and humour throughout.

I highly recommend this show if you were a fan of the movies or if you like vampire related shows in general. Even if you are not a fan of such a genre, it is still worth checking out.

Hopefully we will get something else set in the world of From Dusk Till Dawn again one day

Is this the best supernatural/horror show ever done? No. Is it mildly ridiculous for a director to remake his own (admittedly awesome) movie into a t.v show? Sorta.

The first few episodes AFTER the pilot seem to drag a bit, and you're left seriously questioning whether all these discombobulated plot points are actually going anywhere. That and the fact that to anyone who's seen the movie, which probably 98% of the viewership has, it may feel like an overly long trip to the bloody fun you know is coming at the Titty Twister.. When this project was first announced, I was hesitant about the idea of essentially a remake of one of my favorite movies.. Even with Robert Rodriguez at the helm. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" was my sentiment... But alas, I stuck with the whole first season, trusting in my beloved RR that he had a real vision and purpose to expanding this story...And I'm glad I did.

The back half of the first season was phenomenal.. the actors are all settled into their parts by this point, and the expanded mythology starts to come together in very satisfying ways. It bears mentioning that the whole season is beautifully and excellently shot and edited. All practical effects are flawless. I can't wait for season 2, as it will be breaking new ground and getting past the plot of the original movie. It's on Netflix ppl, check it out.

FROM DUSK TILL DAWN THE SERIES should be praised..Robert Rodriguez has delivered Top-notch entertainment with this series and for those tempted to compare it with the original movie:It's based on it. It's not meant to beat it and not based on true events. The elements and atmosphere are there and it goes on for hours. characters are fun and well casted. The Titty Twister is still the place to be and the original theme song ''After Dark'' by Tito & Tarantula has been revamped and tunes you into a new episode. It takes talent and balls for a producer to take this challenge and RR does it right. A sexy freak show,never boring and very well shot. Great Special FX. Enough characters for a 10 seasons trip and even more blood to keep it fresh. Lagrimas De Sangre!Lagrimas!!! Recommended!

The first season is a very extensive and amazing version of the movie. Of course there are parts added, but it is fully in the spirit of the movie, and very well written. The second season was a continuation of the first season, as if it was one ongoing story. However, about season III: wow. I think it's somewhat like the Godfather (comparison ends as is): part I is an epic tale, part II is rather good too, but season III is just the worst. What the f*** happened?! This is nothing like the first two seasons: the acting is (very!) cheap, the story is fully not connecting to the previous story, it's just... too simple. As if the budget was cut by 90%. This is like a new series trying to lift by on the success of the first two seasons. I just can't find the right words for how terrible this is... Like Scrubs: if you liked the first seasons, as I did very much, do not watch the last (/latest) season!!
