So my missus has watched this show before when she was younger, and said we should watch it together . Enjoyed it, was surprisingly violent and explicit (I think in my head I'd confused it for vampire diaries which was , iirc, for a teenage audience) anyway , one thing I kept thinking throughout the show is "Why are we supposed to be on the vampires side?" . First season I can kind of understand, Bill is very nice etc, but in the grand scheme of things
- Vampires on the whole have disdain for humans
- Majority of them shown have no issues eating people
-They are subject to a secret shadow government which was again majority filled with vampire supremacists who just wanted to use humans as cattle
- even bill, the most sympathetic main character vampire, spends a whole season murdering innocent people (and the season after it doing pretty much the same ) and has NO real consequences for this.
- the one vampire in the aforementioned shadow government who is zero tolerance on vampires acting like low impulse animals is treated like some sort of extremist
- Bill kills a lawyer in the last season, for no reason other than she's a skeezy lawyer?
I'm sure I'm missing loads but, in the penultimate season they have the vampire concentration camp, and like whilst I was watching it all I could think was "yeah, probably should have them locked away" ?
Anyone else felt this whilst watching it?
