I slowly watched through this show over the last 6 years. You'll know if you're going to watch this show through in the first episode. Definitely not for young minds.
I Started on the syfy app, then waited for the finale season on Netflix. Covid in between one of the seasons. I think the 4th season was the first series back in production after covid. Ironic that the vampire apocalypse in modern times mirrored the covid outbreak a little too closely.
That said. There are different flavors to the seasons. The show drastically changed at the end of season 3. The first three seasons were definitely heavier on the dark themes and gore. The last two weren't so much. The last two seasons fell heavily to social agendas in blatantly obvious ways. Season 5 brought in some of the cheesiest flavors of Hollywood patriotism. (Definitely a "you tried" vibe at that point).
It was entertaining in a dark way. I wasn't entirely disappointed by the ending. Kind of knew where it was going from a mile away. The show had jumped the shark in Colorado.
I wouldn't ever watch it again, but hey, maybe a spinoff if the creators ever venture to the same universe.
