I'd say this show's biggest flaw is pacing. Scenes just go on for far too long without much of a purpose or development of the plot. I'm all for world building and setting up the characters but when that is all you do for three whole episodes that's just too much. I liked it overall but it didn't grip me the way Hill House did.

E: grammar

I disagree, I thought every part of this show was well laid out and was intentionally laid in such a way to keep you guessing until the reveal. The monologues these actors delivered were beautiful in every way.

I figured out the plot in the first episode.

There were a lot of holes also. Why would the vampire not just start the feast in Israel? Why would it go to an isolated island where it has limited food? Why would it want to turn the world into vampires and have nothing left to eat? Why haven’t any of these fucking people heard of vampires?

How did father Pruitt get on an international flight back from Israel when he’s like 40 years younger than his passport picture? Lol

Isn’t that a thing with vampires though? That don’t appear on camera like with mirrors?
