Vampire Academy: Season 1

"There’s an overall Saturday Morning TV-level of quality, from its writing to its acting, that’s at odds with its pedigree."

"Vampire Academy remains entertaining due to its fast pace, noteworthy female leads, and twisty second half."

"It’s quintessential popcorn TV, and will surely have viewers coming back every single week."

"While there’s nothing truly terrible about Vampire Academy, there’s little about it that stands out amid today’s crop of fantastical YA dramas."

"(It) is overstuffed, overcomplicated and often nonsensical, especially in its first half."

"The acting is uniformly passable, with an occasionally sharp moment from Stringer, Richards, or Kaiser breaking through."

"Vampire Academy‘s excess does often make for a tasty binge. It’s just not always a totally satisfying one."

"Plec and MacIntyre have breathed new life into the world of St. Vladimir’s, shaking things up in all the right ways..."

"The series is trying to juggle too many plots and characters while awkwardly alternating between silly escapist fantasy and dystopian social commentary."
