Critics

Audience

A disease specialist and his team investigate a mysterious outbreak in New York City, discovering signs of an ancient form of vampirism. As the infection spreads, they join forces with ordinary survivors to fight for humanity’s future.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like grim vampire stories, outbreak thrillers, and survival drama with unusual lore; Not for you if you dislike graphic creatures, uneven writing, or bleak apocalyptic settings.
