The reviews for the newest sexy vampire show, First Kill on Netflix is here. Find out whether you should watch the show or not.

Fan Reactions and Reviews Of, ‘First Kill’, the Netflix Vampire Flick Are Pretty Meaty

Vampires were a hot commodity back in 2008 when Twilight was reigning supreme
and TV networks were churning out shows like The Vampire Diaries and The
Originals. But since then the vampires have fallen out of favor, until the new
Netflix show, First Kill hoped to create a resurgence for the genre. Something
similar had happened to the romcoms, a staple in Hollywood back in the 2000s.
Let’s find out whether the streamer was successful in luring the viewers. 


WHAT IS THE SHOW ABOUT?

Two teenage girls Calliope and Juliette form a connection in high school. As
their relationship deepens, their true identities threaten to tear them apart.
Calliope is the daughter of a family of famous vampire hunters. On the other
hand, Juliette is a vampire from a prestigious vampire family. The two probably
could have worked things out if their parents weren’t preparing them for their
first kill, a kind of coming of age ceremony!

The show is based on V.E Schwab’s story that was published in 2020’s Vampires
Never Get Old: Tales With Fresh Bite.

CRITICS REVIEW THE NEW HORROR SHOW 

Decider [https://decider.com/2022/06/10/first-kill-netflix-review/] writes:
“SKIP IT. First Kill on Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] could
have been a fun teen supernatural series. But its storytelling is so clumsy it’s
just very hard to watch. We know that narration is something that teen shows
like to use a lot, and it’s especially relied on in whatever we see debut on The
CW. But when almost every other scene has a character’s “inner thoughts” being
voiced, it’s a sign that what’s on-screen isn’t doing enough to move the story
forward.”

Elsewhere, Polygon’s
[https://www.polygon.com/reviews/23161988/netflix-first-kill-review] review is
more positive. 

“No matter how uneven some aspects of First Kill are, with an epic love story at
its center it has the potential to give audiences, specifically young people who
identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, a show that validates them.”
