I started watching Hemlock grove ten years after the first season came out. I was perplexed that I haven't heard about it before since I've enjoyed similar productions from that time (such as supernatural, TWD, American horror story, teen wolf) and especially because it was so good!!
The series has an originality which makes it really interesting. The plot is very mysterious and you don't understand everything at once, which I enjoyed- it's fun not to have everything laid out for you, guessing the characters back story and be surprised where the story takes you.
The main characters are two high school outsiders who are hard not to like. One rich boy with low self esteem, brought up in family with some serious toxic relationships - Roman Godfrey. The other one, Peter Rumancek, a charming 17-year old Romani boy, secretly a werewolf who just moved into the town with his loving mother.
It's a real thrill seeing the friendship grow between the boys, it's stated that neither of them have had a real friend before. They becomes partners in crime against the dangerous werewolf that's terrorizing the town, with their common goal to protect the girl Letha.
Some spoilers ahead! >>
But in the last episode, everything breaks- someone dies, leaving everyone devastated. I mean, everything that has been built up in the first season falls apart- the friendships, the victories, the fighting spirit. The next season is just someone trying to mend all the peaces together and fails miserably. The new "love interest" is never loveabel, the two boys are never as charming as they once where and the whole thing is just a s*** storm.
Why did they kill that character? Yes, a series must contain sad points and hardships but they should come in small parts, in turns. In second season, can't say for the third because I don't bother watching it, everyone is sad and miserable. The series lost the love, the heart and also me as a viewer :(
