Reginald the Vampire

This is a fun, light hearted show. It's a comedy, that you're not meant to take too seriously. And, you can have this on in the background while doing something or watch it while winding down for bed.

It's not perfect, but it's fun. Is it fresh and something brand new? Not really. Does that make it terrible? Hell, no. How many of us have rewatched TV shows cause we liked it? Or watched something that's similar cause we're in the mood. Not everything needs to be the new best thing. Sometimes, we just want silly fun. And this delivers on the silly fun.

In fact, I just finished one episode that introduced a new character and had me crying out that I wanted the next episode already.

I would really give it a 7/10, but boosting by a star to help combat the review bombers. I honestly have no idea why this is receiving them.

So the concept of this show is good and i do like the characters but the show is flawed. The pacing of the show is badly executed. A lot of episodes spend too much time on moments that should be cut in half, focusing on silly subplots that meander. The dialogue can also be stiff which i suspect may be someone behind the camera was very rigid in not letting the actors deviate from what is on the page. So certain scenes come off as awkward and robotic.

But there are some funny bits . The way its filmed is very unique. There are a lot colors that make it look like a comic book. The actors are very good. So everyone is perfectly cast. The show is funny and the plots are interesting, I just wish they would tighten it up. So the show is good and has potential. I just hope next season they can fix the mistakes they made.

First, I read all the reviews, and they are underwhelming, to be honest. So I thought what a shame, I really like shows about vampires... Then I thought, to hell with it, why not try it out myself. So I watched the first episode and liked it, and then all the 7 episodes, which are out right now. And I don't regret a thing!

The characters are likeable, and the show doesn't bore me like most do nowadays, it's quite fun to watch. I don't get where all the hate comes from, I haven't even noticed any obvious and annoying agenda moments, which is good in my book.

Overall, I get bored easily, and this show does entertain me enough for me to write this review to dissuade others from overlooking Reginald's story! Of course, it's not perfect, but what is? The most important thing is, if you enjoy it or not.

I watched the first episode, feeling an origin to a superhero, but instead a vampire. Jacob Batalon as Reginald, brings the comic chemistry that he brought to the Spider Man movies, although he does not overdue it. You really like and try to root for him all the way.

Mandala Van Peebles is good as Maurice, the vampire who takes Reginald under his wing. He seems to be channeling Giancarlo Esposito. Has amusing effects. Not sure how long it will last, I mean so far I just watch the first episode. Maybe it will keep just better has it goes on, hopefully. We can never tell. I just my fingers crossed.

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.
