Carmilla

Although the series starts a little slow and might lack the bigger budgets of more dynamic online series, it has a honest and antiquated atmosphere which lets you connect deeply with the characters; not unlike a Harry Potter miniseries.

The recent popularity of this series is unprecedented and continues to march beyond 10 million Youtube Views (end of 2014).

It's also a breath of fresh air at how the characters gender and sexual identities are unabashedly poised and brings a fresh breath of normalcy to modern relationships.

The lead (Elise Bauman) and title lead (Natasha Negovanlis) actors who play Laura and Carmilla are charmingly believable and are able to bring their own genuine and entertaining wit. The supporting cast complement each other splendidly and are well developed as well as entertaining.

I strongly recommend giving this show a watch if you're a guy or girl, straight or not so straight as you will find that long lost fun mixing in old school Buffy, Sabrina with a mix of modern Sookie Stackhouse.

...I can't think why they even bothered to name this "Carmilla". Carmilla was an aristocrat, a Countess. This Carmilla is a slob. Carmilla was disturbing, enthralling, and frightening by turns. This Carmilla is just annoying. Carmilla fed on peasant girls while slowly draining Laura dry of her life forces. This Carmilla drinks blood in cartons. Carmilla was passionate. This Carmilla wouldn't know passion if it was handed to her on a plate. Add to that appalling acting, a script of which the less said the better, and a filmography centred around "Don't show, tell", and it's an insult to every lesbian vampire out there, and to Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.

Why does anyone sane and educated like it?

Wow. Where has this been hiding? I'm not one to watch web series. So, I went in expecting very little and I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I binged watched all four seasons in a row.

The story is really creative and fun. And I love the fact that they try and make it feel real. Just some random collage student who gets sucked into a world of vampires, magic and other creatures. There's no real quality with the filming, but the story is really fun. And every episode ends on a cliffier that makes you keep watching. It has a great intensity that sucks you right in and keeps your attention the entire time.

The acting is where the series wobbles a little. The main character Laura played by Elise Bauman is not a good actress. She sounds like she is saying lines and struggles to have emotion on her face. Everyone else is fantastic. They're all very smooth. But Laura's lack of ability really stands out like a sore thumb amongst everyone else who can act. She does get annoying after awhile. But near the ending of the last season she did improve a little.

I really enjoyed the lesbian relationship in the series. It was my favourite thing about the entire show. I loved how natural and normal they made it. There was nothing to hide or explain, it was just like any other relationship. This made the show down right good. What was even better is it wasn't just all butterfies and roses. There was lots of great drama, funny moments and slow burns.

I would have watched this series a long time ago if i would have known it existed. Many times I searched on google for lesbian series or movies and I never saw this on the list. The other day I did an extensive search on google and randomly stumbled across this series. I wish it would have better advertised. The series really deserves it.

I undoubtedly recommend this great web series to all of you!For those who are not aware of it,carmilla is a vampire character from a book with the same title!This web series has everything that's necessary for a show to be worth watching it.The acting is great and the chemistry among the cast and especially between the two main characters creates a very special and unique atmosphere.The plot is interesting enough to keep you alert and wanting more and more episodes!Unfortunately each one of them is only lasts a few minutes, but that's what make your "desire" for this show growing!And the best part of all is the tension between carmilla and laura that will definitely leave you breathless!(and you can find the episodes on youtube)

God, this makes Vampire Academy look good. You know primary school plays, and community theatre, well both in them would be ten times better. The pregnant pauses to wait for the next character to say their lines, & often rambling through the lines is only the start of the poor quality acting, only barely improved from a 1 score by a mediocre plot. The only reason I can think of why it'd ever score high marks from people is it teasing a lesbian love plot designed to hide how poor the quality of this production is, with the computer cam approach the only thing helping to disguise that it has the qualities of a group of people having gotten together on a Sunday afternoon, decided that they can make a short TV series, and uploading it that night.

And seriously, a season is supposed to be over a number of months, possibly six months, shouldn't they be changing outfits during that time (their unwashed stench is their true weapon against the vampires).

Seriously people, get drunk, believe you can make a TV series, and film it, it'll be to this same non-quality.
