With
Nextflix’s Hemlock Grove now
in its third and final season, I was surprised to see that you have not
reviewed it before.
Do
you have any upcoming plans to review it in the future?
Given
how saturated the current market is in werewolf/vampire media, I can certainly
understand some hesitance to sit through an entire three seasons of episodes.
But, despite being a little too slow at times, I have really enjoyed it.
I
almost forgot to mention why I think the show stands out (at least to me,
anyway). Almost every other werewolf/vampire story seems to explore the
romantic relationship between its werewolf and vampire protagonists. This is
one of the few that focuses instead on a different kind of cliché: the werewolf
and the vampire as best friends (let’s call it the “Buddy Cop” theme.)
Thanks
again for the great blog!"
Chuck:
Thank you for the great question.
I
began watching Hemlock Grove about a year ago -- when I also began teaching for the
first time -- and I had a difficult time staying tuned to it, to be honest. I think this failure was more about me than the show,
as my wife took to it rather quickly.
So
when I received your e-mail in November of 2015, I decided to give the series a second
look. Over the holidays, I started over and watched a handful of episodes.
Look for a review (of what I’ve
seen so far…) on Thursday.
All
my best, and thank you for the comment about the blog!
