Reginald the Vampire

Its a about a new vampire. He's very special because he's not like the others. He's fat. Yes. Vampires are like the aryan race. Perfect in any way and don't allow anything else. And they also act like that in many ways. Thats a weird choice for them. Then you got politics... vampire politics. Great stuff... not! They you got some kind of scooby gang. Almost all characters are gay or bi. Only two are straight as far as i remember. Also a bit over the top maybe? Some elements are supposed to be scary, most is comedy. And our hero seems to be a really special kind of vampire in many ways. Maybe a little too special? I don't want to spoil anything but this show feels like they asked AI to create a modern vampire show with aryan vampires for an modern diverse audience and somehow make them become heros instead of villains. So at times i relly feel like wtf? Thats stupid! And then i'm entertained again. Not a great show. Not totally bad. Its mediocre and has a certain target audience. I would be surprised if this show will have more than 2 or 3 seasons.

I do not understand half of these reviews ripping this show apart. It is a dumb quirky show and I have a hard time believing it's trying to be anything other than just that. It's really just a show about a Reginald learning to be a vampire and an adult at the same time. The acting in the show is not any game changing masterpiece and that's okay. It's funny and easy to watch on a rainy day while you do chores or little hobbies. The story line is interesting but easy to digest there's a little horror but it's all just a little quirky. These days people either want sitcoms or thought provoking shows that feel like movies. What happened to all the shows in the middle? I miss just enjoying lighthearted shows.

The premise of the show is fun. A vampire who doesn't look like a model and isn't serious and somber; again, fun.

Unfortunately the writing is so bad you'll eventually end up hating the supposed hero. I watched nine episodes and couldn't bring myself to watch the finale.

Reginalds character is all over the place. One scene he's the bullied outsider and in the very next scene he's an overconfident jock. It's as if AI wrote this mess.

Theres a scene where he tells someone that they can't see each other (him being a vampire....) and two minutes later is happy to see said person at a party he invited her to.... it's frankly insulting.

3 Stars for the cast bc its not their fault.

The idea and series had so much potential. So did the actor. But it was all let down by very lackluster writing.

Traditionally, vampires were homeless stumbling filthy creatures who hid in the shadows. But Bela Lugosi was such a great commanding actor we all think of vampires as wearing tuxedos and capes.

Instead of more realistic portrayals, Hollywood has gotten more fantasy filled. Vampires got more impossibly suave and cool, with powers like a superhero, and die in explosions or gushers of blood.

So going the opposite way was long overdue. This show is claiming to be a comedy. But I didn't laugh even once.

There's not much action. Instead we get a slow and not very good drama about a guy picked on for his weight.

This movie playfully answers the question "what happens when the non-beautiful people become vampires?"

Think of it as an updated Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but with multicultural stars. Most notably, a Fil-Am star, which is a very welcome and long-overdue change.

In this world, vampires are only supposed to convert new vampires who are beautiful, fit, svelte, cool, sophisticated. Enter Reginald -- the fat, awkward, unfit, remarkably un-athletic, uber-nerdy incel fast-food worker with no prospects. By a stroke of fortune and misfortune, Reginald gets turned. And the rest of the vamp community don't dig it.

Sure, this has Hallmarkish tones, and the dialogue and situations seem aimed to teens and 20somethings, but the series starts well, is funny, with some vampy coolness. Reginald is funny, albeit a shade too whiny, and incessantly whiny. Just when you think you can't stand it, it's revealed that there's more to Reginald than his girth.
