One of my all time favorites.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

For those of you not yet seen it and wonder: "What differs this from all other monster series (mostly crap) that's been the last 5-8 years?"
Well, first it's produced by Eli Roth (you know, the Hostel-movies?).
That means: do not eat at the same time you watch, and yes, it is hyper-gory.
This shows every brutal detail: eyes popping out, people consuming festered corpse-fluids, several people cut in half, or skinned alive, faces chewed off, showed for all to study in detail.It is damn exciting though, because you'll be sitting guessing who's the main crook, of many evil people, who the first seasons chase is about? You'll probably find that the classic stereotypes of vampire/Werewolf movies are a bit thrown aside here. Of course the perpetrator attacking teenage girls in Jack the Ripper-style × 5 has to be a man, right?
Hmm...who could it be? The settings are a combination of hi tech genetic abominations and monsters, and I cannot really understand some of the very low ratings here. I caught me after about 15 minutes and I could not what to get to the end of the first season; now I've started s2.Not for all, but far better than any True Blood or Walking Dead ever was.

I simply love this show, a cross between Twin Peaks, Dark Shadows, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer with just a touch of Resident Evil. It's campy, spooky, dark, erotic and weird with a supernaturally centered plot and plenty of gross-out moments.Hemlock Grove, the town, lives up to its name; beautiful and poisonous at the same time. Verdant forests filled with danger lurking in the shadows, and creepy old gothic buildings. Like Twin Peaks, the town is filled with odd, interesting people. Everyone has a secret to protect. Where there is innocence, it is quickly tainted by evil. The beginning plot is a whodunnit, an investigation centered around the violent, death of a young women. Around the main story is woven an intricate web of the lives of the town-folk; secrets, lies, betrayals, sex, violence and supernatural weirdness.Excellent entertainment for those of us who appreciate the darker side of things.

After watching five episodes, I can say Hemlock Grove stands out as one of the strongest new series in an uncertain fall. Season Two expanded the series by establishing some elements and characters. Overall much stronger than first season and was able to have a better focus on the plot. Then it stooped on season 3 . Why would it stop ? I'm a real a big fan . Would love if this show Continues .Would it be possible after stooping the show after 2 years .They might get back with season 4 ?I mean that could be amazing .

Season one laid the foundation for what could have been an amazing series. The two main characters coming together to discover themselves and solve a murder and become close as brothers What I loved about the series. The characters Roman and Peter had chemistry.. And who doesn't love a werewolf/vampire story. The werewolf transformation in season 1 was the best I've seen!!. What I found annoying... Season 2 and 3 they recast the actress who played Shelley who was supposed to be 7 feet tall. Her proportions were off in every scene it hurt my brain. Also way too much Olivia and Pryce. Their story lines went in weird directions and was completely unnessisary. And last but not least... The flying manta ray thing. Horrible Cg.
