The memorial, "witchy" episode was very well done by the creators. Compared to the previous slow-paced episode, the plot had momentum, the atmosphere was again fantastically gloomy, and instead of pointless philosophizing about poets, I discovered a lot of essential information about Vanessa's past.

The story significantly lost pace in the second episode, I have nothing against conversations if they are essential to the ongoing plot, but I could easily do without debates about the qualities of poets. I was already disgusted with poetry in elementary school, constantly analyzing poems and pondering what the poet wanted to say with each verse, it bored me to death.

The first episode of the second season nicely followed the first season, and I was pleased to find out that the creators managed to maintain the great atmosphere and tension that I got used to in the previous series. The new story also caught my attention, and overall, I had a good time.

The first season wasn’t disappointing in the least. It gradually introduced familiar characters that used to scare fearful readers. The creators managed to write a meaningful story with an excellent, dark atmosphere. They built up the suspense and offered a great cast, Eva Green being the proverbial jewel in the crown. I liked how they managed to end the first season in style, while casually luring the viewer to watch the next season.

The creators took a break from the main storyline in the previous exorcism episode, but in this episode they returned to it and successfully finished what they started. The character of Victor Frankenstein undergoes an interesting development under the influence of the Monster, Ethan Chandler has shown his true face, and there was also some decent action. 5 stars.

I need to reiterate what other users have written before me, the entire seventh episode relies on Eva Green's superb performance. Under different circumstances, I would hesitate to give it five stars, as the story barely moved forward, but this time I had to go all in for this perfect study of obsession, whether I wanted to or not.

If I criticized the fourth episode for its weak plot, in the sixth, on the contrary, the story picked up again and besides the dark atmosphere, it also brought decent action in the harbor and Vanessa's confrontation with darkness, which promises interesting experiences in the next episodes. I was amused by Van Helsing's sudden departure.

In the fifth episode, the creators decided to go back to the past of the characters, and it was actually very good. I finally found out what connects (and separates) Malcolm and Vanessa, and I got a very vivid excursion into the most advanced methods in the field of medical science.

I hesitated for a long time whether to give three or four stars because the plot of the fourth episode was strangely dull. In the end, I decided for a weaker four, but only because I enjoyed the previous three episodes and I hope that the following ones will entertain me as well. 4*

Hmmm, so in the end the unbelievable happened and I gave the sixth episode of the fifth season four stars. I was expecting a lot, but this surprised even myself. I had several reasons: the plot with the poisoned janitor made me laugh, those two desperate people finally went their separate ways, and I managed to put together a new lawnmower while watching.
