The Good
Interesting peek into the workings of the organisation.
Vampires, witches and other supernatural occurrences.
Acting, directing, and the rest of the production are all great.
Interesting enough plot and subplots.
The Bad
As has been said, it *is* a bit of a slow burn...
Vampire abilities, magic, and psi abilities aren't popping off every few seconds...it's somewhat understated beyond the first episode. It *isn't* a magical show.
The story so far is quite tight - you do get a glimpse into Talamasca, vampires, witches...but the story isn't *about* them, they're just in it...if that makes sense.
The story could be easily transposed into any other setting...the things the characters do for most of the screen time are pretty mundane and typical of detective/mystery fare. I appreciate that the same can be said for a lot of things, but in this case, it seems even more so.
It's set around central London - it's accurate...therefore it's grey...nowhere near as sumptuous as either of the other series.
Conclusion
I'm attracted by the paranormal elements, but the itch isn't quite being satisfied.
I'm happy to watch it, my score may go up and is unlikely to go down...but...I'm not being blown away.
If it were cancelled after 4 episodes, then the truth is I would be pretty indifferent.

Many of the reviews I've seen here are scarier and far more mysterious than the film.
The Good
As a famously haunted location, the film has an interesting foundation, which is what attracted me.
The location was pleasant, and the period costumes/sets were reasonable to me.
The story was reasonable.
The Bad
The acting wasn't great, further impaired by the shocking writing and pretty much every other part of the implementation.
TV/Films have been around so long now that even "bad" projects can have a reasonable level of production...not so here, I'm afraid.
The film is more of a very expensive student project, but with very, very bad writing.

Let's get something established right away - this *is* on the lower budget side and it *is* a little creaky in places and it bears little resemblance to the story of the 1985 film of the same name (as far as I can remember, it's been a while).
However, there's also a lot to like - Red Sonja has numerous adventures in print; this was never intended to be a frame-by-frame reproduction of the earlier film...rather it is an accurate depiction of the fantasy hero having an adventure that is very much in the style of that hero.
The film is light, innocent and fun - it is reminiscent of a simpler time in movies...when heroes could be heroes without worrying about the oh-so-tedious, constant navel gazing of modern days.
Yes - things are a little creaky in places...but so were the fantasy movies of the 1980s...those who grew up with them still love them.
