    Let's see how it goes.....

    Ok, so the acting's a bit cheesy and the storyline is somewhat predictable but the effects and gore ain't too bad. Worth watching a few to see how it pans out.

    Ignore the awful reviews...

    I've seen better, but i've seen ahell of a lot worse. You get to know the characters quite quickly, also feel a certain empathy towards them. The acting isn't terrible, and the script is fine. Think the bad reviewers maybe have a vested interest in slating this for some strange reason

    I don't get alot of these reviews. It like we watched a different show.

    First I like the cast and the acting. As far as the story i like it. its a new take on the whole Vampire virus thing. Its graphic its gruesome and its worth some time.

    [5.5] A big mess

    V-Wars started good, interesting with promise, but went downhill pretty fast.

    • The biggest problem of the show is lack of logic continuity in the script and flow of the episodes. You constantly have island storylines forcefully glued together.


    • The characters and their acting is mostly a mess with zero character development. Even, those who are acting good like Calix Niklos and the kid are dissolved in the acidity of the show.


    • Ian Somerhalder is Not believable as a scientist. Never was, never will be; Nor is he believable being a guy handling pistols and submachine guns, let alone bigger weaponry. His character's play is forced, shaky, not scientifically right and just wanting his son!


    • Connection and chemistry between characters are as strong as the ones between a shark and a seal.


    • Special effects, besides the slashed necks, are a total wreck. Vampires' faces and gaping mouths look like filters added by a mobile app; Just some teeth scenes are made good. The substance used as blood is as blood-like and near as paint mixed with syrup is.


    • The amount of money wasted on this show is forever gone and lost until a possible season 2 wastes another big load.


    • On a plus side, it is watchable in one day, if you have nothing else to do.


    Throughout the episodes, I thought that it definitely deserves a season 2, but after seeing the final 5-10 minutes of the last episode, it became clear to me that it's better to let it be as it is and save whatever pride is left of the writers and producers.

    Innovative Vampire Virus Concept

    As a Virologist, I have always found the concept for the cause of vampirism been a virus to be quite innovative & not outside the realms of possibility.

    With that in mind, I found V Wars quite interesting. The polar regions are vastly unexplored territories so we don't know what lies breath them. So, the beginning of Episode 1, where the Prion existence for causing a virus infecting people with a disease that turns them into vampires is a great way to start a plot, that can offer many different angles for which the story can go.

    While the plot turns out to not be as strong as I first envisioned after Episode 1, the ensuing episodes do makes an interesting story of humans ingenuity to combat the virus in every shape or from.

    I found V Wars very entertaining. The characters could have been individually explored in greater detail, so as not to become mere caricatures of the actual plot. But the story is enjoyable enough to provide solid entertainment. The episodes do flow well with interesting stories.

    I hope there is a season 2 so that the plot & story can be further developed.
