• Serial killer Intimacy: provoking because they can

  • Cinema Ana de Armas, finally: Netflix will premiere in September 'Blonde', the controversial film about Marilyn Monroe

There are series that are not for me and I know it before seeing them.

It has nothing to do with whether they are good or bad, or not only with that.

A series in Manhattan interests me more than one in an American suburb and a series based on Carver stories appeals to me more than one that adapts stories for teenagers.

VE Schwad, creator of

The First Death

, is an author of children's

literature

.

Her series is the adaptation of a short story also signed by her.

A batycao remix of vampires and vampire hunters seasoned with lesbian-existential drama for fifteen-year-olds.

For me, starting to see it came from a pragmatic and perverse motivation.

I needed a series to put it in this weekly section: the one with

the series that I don't recommend.

Unless you're more interested in a series in a suburb than in New York.

Unless you're more drawn to teen stories than Carver's prose.

In that case, maybe

The First Death

is your series.

The best series of the week: Irma Vep, a real vampire

With each new iteration of the vampire mythos on television I am almost forced to re-watch the first episode of

True Blood

.

The first episode of the first season.

When

True Blood

was not only funny but also challenging and slutty.

When he spoke of difference and coexistence, of lust, freedom and temptation.

When we still weren't sick of Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.

When the love story between the southern damsel and the charming bloodsucker hadn't turned into a three-ring circus.

When

Twilight

was just a literary phenomenon.

Two months after the premiere, with his first film he would become a money-making machine.

What came next

was a vampire saturation

languid and young in search of success.

Vampiric soon ceased to be sexy and original to become formulaic and repetitive.

When

The First Death

arrives on Netflix we are, at least I, to something else.

If we still wanted a bun roll and a drink of hemoglobin, we would wear

El Ansia.

If, against this advice, you give

The First

Kill a chance , you'll be in for a few nasty surprises, like some embarrassing visual effects or the sad confirmation that

Elizabeth Mitchell is drifting

from the iconic ending of

Lost

.

Only because of that character is Mitchell a legend.

I see her in

The First Death

playing a posh lady and my body asks me to return to her reunion, after unknowingly crossing oceans of time, with Josh Holloway.

We have to go back to the places where we were happy and for me one of those places is Juliet and Sawyer in the hospital vending machine.

Another is the first bite of

True Blood

.

And the first powder.

in

the first death

There's also that, but now I'm into other things, other vampirisms.
