Vampire Academy

Just finished episode 6 and I'll keep watching it til the end. I just honestly can't get over rose and her mums accent; why add an Aussie and kiwi accent? It's so distracting. Rose has been miscast, her Turkish roots play a role in the story. And I'm sorry but she's quite a weak actress. I feel like I'm casting they've gone down a run sheet and ticked a whole heap of boxes. The thing is, this story and the nationality of key characters are part of the story Unfortunately the costumes are worse then the casting....like where do you even start. A complete disaster Don't compare it to the books and it's ok.

Was very excited for this to come out. I read the books and loved them but........this show uses the books as a loose guideline. It is good I just wish I hadn't read the books because it ruins it for me since they are different from each other. Rose is not sassy whatsoever, the way the story plays out is very different from the book, and it seems very fast paced for this early on. Just once it would be nice if they used the source material and followed it instead of going off into another dimension. I will continue to watch and give it a chance; but if you have read the books just keep in mind this is a loose adaptation and does not follow them.

Not appropriate for anyone 18 and under, but it's also too immature to be for adults, so I'm not too sure who the target audience is. I can't say I will stick around to watch any more episodes, managed to watch the first 5, as I just didn't find it to have that certain spark that pulls you back in for more, which other new shows do have. The acting and script were both very mediocre, and I think that plays a huge part in why I couldn't get into this show. I also found it to be very rushed and not well explained, so I was confused as to what was happening most of the time, so with all of those things, I just couldn't get into even though I wanted too.

I was half expecting them to break out in song to go with the dance moves that they were doing. Oh sorry, I mean fighting. 🤣 Action is obviously all wrong, I really don't think you can even call it action as it really is just like they are dancing, and the acting and script are both bad, not sure which is worse, might even be in the running for top spot of bad against the outfits and sets... alone with special effects and music, lighting, accents (they really do change, like these people are meant to be actors? 🤣) and everything else that is wrong with this. You really have to wonder who knows who or who has done what with who when stuff like this is aired.

I had my doubts when I saw the trailer, but I kept telling myself "never judge a movie/show by its trailer", but I should have just stuck with judging this one because it really shows how boring and bland it is (trust me, it only gets worse if you watch it). The plot/storyline is boring, rushed and makes no sense whatsoever. When I say rushed, I mean characters are together with no build up and they move from one thing to another way too fast, and it makes no sense because there are things in this that need to be explained but they don't explain them or build up to them. The music doesn't always fit and is sometimes used when not needed, and it's too loud, you can barely hear what people are saying. I don't like to say bad things about people, but these actors are terrible. 😣 Bland, blank, 2-dimensional with no chemistry with each other. And because they have no chemistry, the romances are just awkward. I don't even know if you can call them romances. Maybe lust or just one night stands or something fits better? I don't know. The fighting reminds me too much of ballet and plays in general. It needs to look more real not practiced.

Overall, this was hard to watch and I won't be doing it ever again.
