Instead we get the plot of the original movie stretched out over 7 and a half hours with new plot twists, new characters & a background story involving a cult. I doubt it would have been great but it wouldn’t have been this abomination.
A series that focuses on the vampires & their history set after the events of the film would have worked a lot better. The movie had enough mystery surrounding it that an expansion of that was definitely a good idea. The thing is I get it, I can see what the plan was here. If the show is to be its own thing…why is most of the first season a remake? Why does almost every scene get redone in a different & worse way? Why do some of the better moments from the film get dropped for another lengthy ‘talky’ bit? Why spend 7 episodes building towards the vampire scene in the bar only to have it last 5 minutes? Why make the preacher character not just unlikable but kind of creepy? Why cast Jake Busey as sex machine? Why snake vampires? Why does it get so complicated? Stretching an idea out to such an extent that it snaps & whips you in the face leaving you bloodied, bruised & even more confused. That is 7 and a half hours that I want back from everyone involved with this train wreck of a show.Īm I being harsh? Have you seen it? If you have let’s be honest here, it is terrible. So, ten episodes lasting 45 minutes each, that is 450 minutes, that is 7 and a half hours. Oh yeah, imagine my shock & horror to find out that not only does it have a second season but it also has a third, someone take the fucking wheel. What did I just watch? What the fuck did I just watch? Ok, let’s do some simple maths here…From Dusk Till Dawn: Season One is 10 episodes long.
