a5c7b9f00b Vanessa Helsing, distant relative of famous vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing, is resurrected only to find that vampires have taken over the world. It&#39;s a fun series, I&#39;ll give it that. It&#39;s like a Vampire + Zombie apocalypse. There are some nice twists and turns, but… <br/><br/>I really don&#39;t see why Vanessa doesn&#39;t just bite every vampire when she has the chance. <br/><br/>Seriously, her blood/bite can turn them back or kill them. AND they can&#39;t turn back. There&#39;s almost no downside. <br/><br/>Instead, the group just murders all those people who can be saved? <br/><br/>It just doesn&#39;t make any sense. Why kill off potential allies? It&#39;s so dumb…<br/><br/>Other than that, it&#39;s a good show. *****Only mediocre spoilers***** I don&#39;t review often I just read them, but felt compelled to put some light on all the negativity surrounding this new series. <br/><br/>I&#39;ve given it 8 because of all the bad reviews on here. I think people watched 2-3 episodes and decided it wasn&#39;t worth more viewing time. <br/><br/>On axel (Jonathon scarfe)- he was the lead for a good while and lead well, until Vanessa took over and found her feet. His acting far outweighs any negativity shared here, and it&#39;s worth watching from his viewpoint just to get better understanding of what&#39;s happening around them. <br/><br/>Vanessa ( Kelly Overton) - a bit chalky at first, but she settles well into her character and played her well. Her leadership takes over and her powers become more clear to her toward the end of the season, where she starts to understand her heritage. <br/><br/>The good doc - at first felt compelled to watch to find out her outcome, but her character ends up being more disappointing nearing the end, not because of her courage, but the lack of in her case. But it&#39;s interesting. <br/><br/>Mohammed and Sam - these two were great to watch and see their stories unfold, the history to the two and how they came to be so close is quite a story. Mohammed shows great survival instinctsdoes Sam, but they both go in very different directions and Sam&#39;s motives become clearer,does Mohammed&#39;s… I think these two will be interesting in season 2. <br/><br/>The two vampire clans… what can I say, there acting is kinda rubbish but I think that&#39;s where the tackiness of van helsings history comes into it. They have all the mediocre bits, the past and the present. They also have this new way of living, they still hide from direct sunlight, but walk, talk and run. It&#39;s more like a new age vampire which has evolved from just being hungry to some sort of story line. All we know is they are all afraid of Vanessa, but want to know what more she can do to to/for the vampires. <br/><br/>Yeah it&#39;s not like the age old van helsing. Yes, she&#39;s a woman. It works. No, the vampires aren&#39;t stuck in the past (apart from Dmitri and his followers) Yeah they act like zombies, brutal and uncaring and hungry. But syfy tried something, it&#39;s not the best, but it&#39;s not awful. Give it a go, watch till the end and if it doesn&#39;t grip apart of u, don&#39;t watch anymore.
