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.

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.
