Carmilla

I undoubtedly recommend this great web series to all of you!For those who are not aware of it,carmilla is a vampire character from a book with the same title!This web series has everything that's necessary for a show to be worth watching it.The acting is great and the chemistry among the cast and especially between the two main characters creates a very special and unique atmosphere.The plot is interesting enough to keep you alert and wanting more and more episodes!Unfortunately each one of them is only lasts a few minutes, but that's what make your "desire" for this show growing!And the best part of all is the tension between carmilla and laura that will definitely leave you breathless!(and you can find the episodes on youtube)

God, this makes Vampire Academy look good. You know primary school plays, and community theatre, well both in them would be ten times better. The pregnant pauses to wait for the next character to say their lines, & often rambling through the lines is only the start of the poor quality acting, only barely improved from a 1 score by a mediocre plot. The only reason I can think of why it'd ever score high marks from people is it teasing a lesbian love plot designed to hide how poor the quality of this production is, with the computer cam approach the only thing helping to disguise that it has the qualities of a group of people having gotten together on a Sunday afternoon, decided that they can make a short TV series, and uploading it that night.

And seriously, a season is supposed to be over a number of months, possibly six months, shouldn't they be changing outfits during that time (their unwashed stench is their true weapon against the vampires).

Seriously people, get drunk, believe you can make a TV series, and film it, it'll be to this same non-quality.

...I can't think why they even bothered to name this "Carmilla". Carmilla was an aristocrat, a Countess. This Carmilla is a slob. Carmilla was disturbing, enthralling, and frightening by turns. This Carmilla is just annoying. Carmilla fed on peasant girls while slowly draining Laura dry of her life forces. This Carmilla drinks blood in cartons. Carmilla was passionate. This Carmilla wouldn't know passion if it was handed to her on a plate. Add to that appalling acting, a script of which the less said the better, and a filmography centred around "Don't show, tell", and it's an insult to every lesbian vampire out there, and to Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.

Why does anyone sane and educated like it?

I would honestly recommend this to every single person I see if that were socially acceptable. Making female perspectives the default (in Tatiana Maslany's words) is so refreshing and just watching the show is empowering. It's cheesy romantic fantasy, yes, but: - there's a gender non-binary character - there are multiple gay characters - the main couple is lesbian - all of the lead roles are female - the girls save the boys, not the other way around - there's an emphasis on both girl-on-girl friendship and romantic attraction, portrayed better than those things usually are (probably because most creators/crew are women) So 8/10 for representation. It's just not a typical web series. It's obviously low-budget, but they do it well, and I think that actually allows you to focus more on the story. The acting is 7/10 overall, but they interact incredibly well with each other and the actors are such awesome people in real life that their personality shines through the characters. It's funny, heartwarming, frustrating, intelligent, romantic, silly, and serious all at the same time. I can't think of any other web series like it, nor any other series like it, for that matter. It's so unique, both in a "wtf how did they come up with that" way and in the way it handles fantasy and real issues together. I give it a 10/10 because it's one of those things that once you watch it, there's nothing specific you can say to explain why it affects you. Movies, series, books, and music that you truly love are often impossible to explain, you just have to watch it to understand. J Sheridan LeFanu wrote an excellent novella, but this adaptation is a whole new level of wonderful. The fandom is also really excellent. In short, if you're not watching Camilla, you're really missing out.

Wow. Where has this been hiding? I'm not one to watch web series. So, I went in expecting very little and I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I binged watched all four seasons in a row.

The story is really creative and fun. And I love the fact that they try and make it feel real. Just some random collage student who gets sucked into a world of vampires, magic and other creatures. There's no real quality with the filming, but the story is really fun. And every episode ends on a cliffier that makes you keep watching. It has a great intensity that sucks you right in and keeps your attention the entire time.

The acting is where the series wobbles a little. The main character Laura played by Elise Bauman is not a good actress. She sounds like she is saying lines and struggles to have emotion on her face. Everyone else is fantastic. They're all very smooth. But Laura's lack of ability really stands out like a sore thumb amongst everyone else who can act. She does get annoying after awhile. But near the ending of the last season she did improve a little.

I really enjoyed the lesbian relationship in the series. It was my favourite thing about the entire show. I loved how natural and normal they made it. There was nothing to hide or explain, it was just like any other relationship. This made the show down right good. What was even better is it wasn't just all butterfies and roses. There was lots of great drama, funny moments and slow burns.

I would have watched this series a long time ago if i would have known it existed. Many times I searched on google for lesbian series or movies and I never saw this on the list. The other day I did an extensive search on google and randomly stumbled across this series. I wish it would have better advertised. The series really deserves it.
