Critics

Audience

Two vampire brothers become entangled with the same young woman, whose resemblance to someone from their past draws them into a dangerous supernatural world. Set in a small town, the series blends romance, friendship, family conflict, betrayal, and ongoing threats involving vampires, witches, and werewolves.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want emotional supernatural romance, shifting alliances, and dramatic friendships like The Originals or Teen Wolf; Not for you if you dislike love triangles, melodrama, or long shows with uneven seasons.
