It's fun, it's bloody, lots of anction and lot's of soul, like in the original.
I love every single character. I love having my boy back, even though he looks younger after 300 something years. Love my new ungreatul wanker. Sypha would have been proud of him and Maria. Annette and Edouard? Are you kidding me? If the show was about them, I would cry every episode. Turns out, I don't hate opera that much.
But let's agree, Erzebet Bathory doesn't measure up to Dracula. (Who's Dracula?) And her motivation also really doesn't. Carmilla held the same broad goal as Dracula did: Revenge. Compared to that, power about power for vampires isn't as fun. To put it nicely, Bathory lore and Sechmet lore seem so far from each other.
And what's up with Drolta? Don't mind me, she's fucking gorgeous. But she's also an eyesore. She goes from a very glorified owner of a goth club to a Baldur's gate succubus type character. Yeah, she has that dress, but it is also not...anything time appropiate. Glad she's dead. Very curious to see what Tera would look like as Erzebet's apprentice or whatever.
The whole Abbot thing is fine. I'm glad he's suffered. Watching Mizrak's world crumble with Abbot's integrity was very intresting. I hope Mizrak doesn't die. I can't handle thinking about loneliness Olrox endures.
So, yeah. I would forever detest Netflix if this one doesn't move on to the second season and many more after. As if i'm in love with Netflix, but still.

This scene is going to be the death of me. From the start with the way they gravitate towards each other
The staring, The height and size difference, The two Contrasting themes they display with the more human of the two being the monster who lost himself to grief and yet out of the cage. Opposite of the the more monstrous being so innocent, trapped and maintaining humanity and identity.
My god there is just so much staring with these two. Like they can not lose eye contact at all. Olrox calling Edouard extraordinary and smelling his soul
And in the end they both want admit they want the same thing freedom. And yup all the while still staring deeply into each others eyes.
castlevania nocturne was so fucking insane for that scene where annette tries to kill edouard. she genuinely thinks shes doing the right thing, freeing him, having mercy on his damned soul. and all edouard sees is the most important person in his life, the person he had just saved from death, raising a weapon against him. and hes afraid. because hes still him. she wants to kill him. „i‘m sorry edouard, i thought its what you wanted!“. fuck man. the shock at herself, the disgust at her own actions. the realisation that he is afraid of her. being so full of love in blinds you to your selfishness and cruelty.
