Good, great and kinda good

I found this gem on Amazon Prime. I am so happy that I stumbled across it and that Amazon Prime has such interesting cross referencing of people, directors and shows.

Season 1 was good. Good characters, funny lines, great actors and hilarious camera angles. Kids would love this show. My son and I watched the first few episodes. He lost interest and I devoured the rest of the seasons.

Season 2 was great. The actors really came into their own. I knew going in that there were 5 seasons. I think that if I had found this show (and was able to access it in America) in 2006-7 I would have been very sadden for such a long hiatus.

Season 3 does not appoint. Although I got to go from Season 2 finale to Season 3 opener in 2 seconds flat, Season 3 is by far my favorite. Bad Vlad is amazing. It had me laughing the entire time. I know that it wasn't really meant to be so comedic but knowing where they were and seeing Vlad so disturbing was needed in the show.

Season 4 is great and my second favorite. Malik is a fun addition.

Season 5 is a waste of opportunities. The weakness of Vlad and the buffoonery that encompasses the Count is irritating to say the least. When Renfield is your favorite character of the season, you know something went wrong in the writing room. I am glad that everything was tied up in a nice little bow so I don't have to be sad not knowing what happened to the characters.
