V Wars (2019)

V Wars is a drama and fantasy show that stars Ian Somerhalder who's famous for his acting in "The Vampire Diaries."

Dr Luther Swan a research Physician who in the beginning of the show is seen to be a nature conservationist giving a seminar on global warming and it's side effects. Soon he teams up with his close friend Micheal Fayne to inspect a case on a missing person in the Artic. They realise that due to the rapid ice cap melt it's released a virus.After being in isolation it's soon revealed that the infection has turned Micheal into a vampire, a modern one as they don't seem to have a down side like the ancient ones. Blood thirsty double the times more, feeding on any human that comes in it's way. It's now upto Luther to find a cure to save his friend along with humanity. Must he choose between them both?Will he succeed?

The episodes in the beginning are slow paced but the story writers do a good job tying up all the loose threads in the end. There is a charecter growth seen as the show escelates but it doesn't blind side or make up for the fact that the dialogues hardly make any sense, the graphics involved when a human turns into a vampire looks like cheap production. I wouldn't call the show boring but it doesn't come off as a plausible one.

This show is the second worst thing to happen to vampires since Twilight. Where should I even begin describing the abhorrence that the show is capable of invoking. The characters are shallow, writing is terrible, and episodes are awfully long. I have seen better acting in teenage dramas.

Dr. Swann (Ian Somerha) hypothesizes in the beginning of the show about how global warming will unleash fatal viruses frozen under ice caps, and yes you guessed it right, he and his buddy Michael (Adrian Holmes) are exposed to one such virus shortly after; turning Michael into a blood sucking beast. Next victim is his wife and now after losing much of his family, he wants to salvage what he can with a very straight, expressionless face. His lack of variety in emotions and a very identical visage every shot is almost hilarious.

Story line isn’t completely ludicrous. Wacky? Sure. But not asinine. However, lifeless dialogues, and poor if not equally bad characters are enough to deter any intrigue towards the show.

If you ask me, I’ll recommend a hard pass on the show.
