    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.

      Exactly. Its just rough pacing for something you know people will be binging. I think their ideas are great and portraying colonialism and the french aristocracy as vampirism is cool but while I’m not finished yet and I’ll reserve judgement, I’m getting the impression that the talent of the writers doesn’t really match the ambition of the story they want to tell.

      Also, not in love with

      spoiler

      Elizabeth Bathory being the monster. I think that’s disputed. Gilles De Rais or some such would have been better

        They wanted to have an evil queen. The art is Hella giving 2014 and it is amazing. Plus I am pretty sure they reuse design elements from sailor moon in her character
