Academia de vampiros

The subject matter is similar and most of the characters have the same names, but that is where the majority of the similarities to the book series disappear. The story in the show bounces all over all of the books picking and twisting the different events. These books were also for young adults and the content of the show is definitely not for young adults. I wish I had not read the books prior to seeing the show, maybe than I wouldn't be as disappointed. I read all of the Vampire Academy series books and then continued on the the Bloodlines series. I genuinely hope they do not attempt to convert those books as well.

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 saw that this had a low rating but I don't always agree with ratings, so, I watched the first instalment and I am pretty sure I will never watch another episode of this tragedy.

I expected young coming of age tropes but I did not expect it to be so humourless, so paint by the numbers, and a cast of characters I have zero interest in. Too much sorrows of the hyper privileged narcissistic teens played by adults.

I can not say anything positive about this. I believe they had a pre teen audience in mind when making this irritating waste of time and money.

I feel that this one is so bad that the actors will embarrassed to be associated with this bit of fantasy garbage. The writing is low end, the dialogue is stilted, and the plot is absurdly predictable.

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.

Can't actually believe that someone put money into making this. Where to begin... 1) acting... not to be seen in this. They have little to no emotions, chemistry and are wooden. 2) Actors are meant to be teens but are anything but 3) script... cringe af 4) I can't even with the wardrobe 5) the "bad" vampires look like zombies 6) why can the "good' vampires be killed so easily? 7) why do those dhamp-things have "bad" vampire like powers when they are created by the weak "good" vampires? 8) The cgi for that crash, those dogs and the other stuff is, well you know, cringe 9) why does the set rarely change and look like a literal stage? 10) Why is everyone together when they don't even know each other? Relationships don't just happen like that.

I could go on, but I don't want to. Clearly you can see by what I've written that nothing is explained and everything is cringe.
