Exactly. It's wild to me because if I were a super fan of an actor or ship I'd want to see them in genuinely good projects, not churning out garbage! Like don't get me wrong I am primarily anti-fixed ships but I'd be lying if I said there weren't a handful of pairs I love(d) and check-in on every now and then, but with those few I likely wouldn't watch a follow-up project if the trailer was of no interest to me and/or it looked bad and I certainly wouldn't rate said series a 10 if I did watch and found it was awful solely because I liked the pair. That's just crazy to me.

A lot of these actors sit through episodes to film reaction content so I'm sure most have an inkling about how good or not good the series they filmed actually turned out. And 95% of the time whatever issues plague the series are beyond their control and no fault of their own. Those actors can do no more than promote their series with confidence regardless of how they truly feel about it so if the series is terrible it's really up to the fans at that point to signal the alarm to showrunners and studio heads.

It sucks because these super fans really do wield all the power and instead of using that power for betterment they keep ensuring we get more and more mediocrity 😭

I think so too. I'm sure capitalizing on these ships and everything that can be done with them outside of a series is probably good for business short term but I can't imagine it being a very sustainable strategy. Eventually the portion of their viewership who has long tuned in for good STORY will tune out indefinitely and go elsewhere for scripted entertainment.

144p 😭😭😭

So camp! Almost everything about it was terrible yet in a way that worked in its favor because it was very much a 'so bad it's good' kind of fun watch!

Ha, the trashiest for sure! It kept showing up in my Prime recs after I watched a film with two of the actors in it. Genuinely thought it was a parody at first. those messy himbos had me invested though so I had to see it thru 'til the end 🤣

The comedic bits are so well-played they feel natural. Than hitting his hand and then head on the machine in that warehouse fight scene was hysterical and so Daou. I love it.

🤣

what is sis plotting?!
that intervention of hers caught me off guard

I think she meant she liked it and thought it was good from the start and likely still thinks as much but that there’s since been a noticeable exaggeration in the way people have been singing its praises lately that in her opinion doesn’t quite match what she’s seeing on screen. That’s not to say the series isn’t good or that praise is undeserved but rather the incessant overhyping of it (which IS happening) is unnecessary and working against it. That’s how I understood the comment anyway.

Understood, but he brought the Prince to the club while the girls' "wedding" party or whatever was playing out so it would seem he knew of their existence and was relatively unphased by it.

I do keep forgetting what time period this is though lol. The amount of times I've already caught myself thinking "could he not just send a text or call?" is a few too many 🤣

My thoughts exactly. MGB was disappointing and not good but this series now has thinking I was too harsh on it lol. For all of its many faults the build up to their romance and declaration of love was conceivably paced. Whereas with this series the build up to their "love" was woefully underdeveloped to the point of nonexistence.

Aside from being a vampire and vampire hunter what else do we know about these characters? Virtually nothing! The writing has given us no reason(s) to care about them individually so I feel indifferent to them even getting together.

Maybe I'm delusional but I'm beginning to think something weird is going on with these newer series because I swear the lead characters seem to be getting less character/romance development than the side couples. It's as if the writers are relying heavily on the pre-established fanfare and popularity of the actors that make up the main pair to sell their mediocre story for them rather than actually writing and developing their characters properly. Like I shouldn't feel like I have a better understanding of the brother and vamp doctor and whatever is brewing there over the main characters yet I do.

I only ever tried to watch the UK version from the beginning but never got far. I've probably seen more of both iterations through random YT compilation videos than I have actual episodes. But yeah, it was depressing! The guys could never catch a break! 😭

Haha, I haven't watched many supernatural series of this nature so I guess my frame of reference is limited to Dante's Cove 🤣

Ha! They did a revival of that one last year too - 'The Lair: OnlyFangs' 💀 - but I have yet to watch it lol. The OG was decent but I liked the Dante's cast more.

Daou's 'I trust you' song is one of the few things this series did right lol

true

Sasin heard everything he heard from that hiding spot under the bed and still came out all clueless 🫠

same 😔

!!! we must be suckers for campy soap operas with eye candy and exhausting MLs like Kevin 💀

"Welcome to the Hotel Dante!" where everyone is glistening from head to toe 24/7 because the witches probably cast a bad spell on the air conditioning 🤣

Yay! Still holding the song from ep 7 hostage though 😭
