It's definitely a good concept, I just feel like it skews a bit much into the old power structures being oblivious/irrational about the consequences rather than a more calculated and deliberate evil.
Yeah, they know its gonna be shat out as one brick by netflix anyways so its not like they have to be anxious about leaving too much of a gap between episodes airing/releasing.
They do say fuck a lot and there is a ton of gratuitous violence, but there is actually some pretty damn good characterization and stories going on too behind all that, particularly with Dracula and some of his minions in the first series.
Since this new series is just on its first season it hasnt really hit the same marks in terms of story, but the flashbacks set in the Haitian revolution are still really effective.

My favorite moment is probably Richter bullshitting about how magic is fancy and cool but good ol fashioned skill and practice with normal weapons works fine for him thank you very much, and then he gets his magic back and its a comically huge power boost to him, absolutely night and day between how useful he is with and without magic.
Really loving the magic overall, Sypha had some of the coolest stuff in the original show so Im happy there's even more here, and so many different styles of it.
My only real gripe with it so far is really a matter of personal taste but I'm just a bit tired of vampire-human collaboration plots being like "Lmao these dumbass moron humans are so dumb they think they're on the team."
It's nice and simple yeah but I just think it would be neat if there was a plot where its not like the human collaborators are either personally enthralled or being completely rused by the vampires. I don't think it hits that hard when the ruling class/collaborators are also going to be victims of the vampires.
Uhh Brianna Wu(Not pictured) recently got outed from leaked group chat messages as a transphobe who posts trans womens photos in the group chat then calls them slurs.
Destiny(left) got banned from twitch for advocating for the use of white supremacist mass shootings against BLM protestors.
Vaush(center) known for CSAM apologism and sexual harrassment allegations.
Keffals(right) known for a public fight against kiwifarm, later accused of misusing donations from that fight to fund cocaine habit, as well as being a rabid clout chaser who does shit like use private DMs from an ex-gf to make a video accusing her of supporting genocide and being a tankie.
This looks like a guy that would show up for one scene in one of those Lisa RPG games and have a dedicated fanbase specifically because he sucks shit and gets his ass beat.
Guy on twitter who both thinks that the soviets loved eugenics because of scientific magazine discourse in the early 20s, but also thinks that Lysenkoism was a deranged reaction to eugenics by purging everyone who thought genetics was real.
How does these viewpoints cohere? Well you see, the USSR was bad 
Don't restaurant fucks love to circlejerk about how they make the newbies do all the shit tier jobs in the kitchen?
Like surely she has washed the dishes at some point, even just at home like how does she eat if she cant wash cookwear?
