Firstly, this show is definitely quite strange and not for everyone.
Starting off with the bad, some dialogues sometimes feel very forced and even though this show has great actors, it is almost like they struggle to deliver these bad lines with a straight face. Roman, Pete and their relationship starts off very well and just degrades over the seasons as we are left wondering why they are even friends in the first place.
Finally, something happened production wise between seasons 1 and 2 and it shows as suddenly Upirs no longer mesmerize anyone and Peter can just go wolf whenever he feels like it.
The good things are...the dialogues. Although every once in a while it feels cringe worthy, most of the times it is actually amazingly well written.
The show also sports very strong and interesting characters and it doesn't shy away from mature content.
Speaking of mature content, for fans of gore, Werewolf transformation in this show is probably the best I've ever seen period.
Famke Janssen as Olivia Godfrey is, to me, the best thing about this show. The characters was amazingly written and acted to the very last moment and is the one thing I'll miss the most from this show.
To summarize, I picked up this show on a whim while browsing through Netflix and fell in love with its mystery filled first season. Although it has some weird moments and sometimes cringe dialogue, it is scarce enough that powering through it is definitely worth it.
