It's fantastic isn't it?
Original film has not been let down by this series. The episode with the Vampiric Council is the, somehow, the best (as every episode is brilliant).

Taika Waititi is a god.

Even my wife is enjoying it and she's usually only a fan of formulaic sexy-teenage-vampire clone shows.

Colin Robinson is a great invention, they've actually added something to vampire lore and made it funny! 😆

Was I missing something? I usually love stuff with Matt Berry in but I thought this was cringingly unfunny. Maybe I need to give it more of a chance....

I thought the film was excellent, but I couldn't even get through the first episode of the TV series.

I wasn't sure but have grown to really like it.

Not quite got the subtle charm of the movie, partly due to lack of swearwolves & Taika Waititi I suspect, but very enjoyable nonetheless.

The one where they went out on the sesh with the Baron was excellent.

The barren's night out and vampiric council episodes were superb.

The casting of the vampire council was a work of genius.

Drivel. Film was alright but bailed after the 2nd TV episode, cringe-worthy stuff.

I watched the film after watching the series, I think the series is better than the film, personally..

For those who like it you should check out Wellington Paranormal. It’s a series that follows the two cops from the film.

Episode 1 was crap and I almost gave up at that point (loved the film). However, the rest of the episodes were much better than the first so if giving up after the first it is worth watching a couple more.

I can see why many don't like it.

I found it quite funny.

The last episode is brilliant.

Haven't started it yet, but loved the film.

I didn't realise Wellington Paranormal was out yet though, will definitely give that a look.

Started watching it after reading this thread. Seen the first two episodes so far and will watch the rest. The bit with the pile of dead Racoons was a tea spitting moment for me.

I think its brilliant. The joke with Matt Berry and the topiary was hilarious and ahem layered.

Where can you see Wellington Paranormal ? I looked for it on Amazon and could only see a couple of expensive discs and who knows if they would work in this region.
