Holy shit, anybody catch this yet? It's another original series by Netflix. Man this show has been hitting homeruns since the very first episode. I gotta hand it to Netflix, they know wtf they're doing. All you investors out there should be buying up stock. They're basically HBO without all the bullshit now. They are their own network, so they can produce whatever they want, and air it however they want. I really really reeaaaalllly applaud their new "all episodes at once" concept. The only reason society has to watch their favorite tv series across the span of half a fucking year is because the cable networks make them, so that people feel obliged to continue paying for their shitty overpriced tv packages week after week. Netflix took a gamble and said "maybe people will like our material so much, that we can just release the entire fucking show, all 20 episodes at once, and they'll stick around for the next installment". IT FUCKING WORKS. 8 bucks a month to get shows like House of Cards and now Hemlock Grove? With more new series on the way? Hell yes! Without the shackles of comcast/direcTV on their ass they're basically everything HBO wishes they were. And shame on HBO for not having the balls to challenge the networks, because netflix now beats them in subscriber base, and doesnt have to share any of the profits. These last 2 shows are just as good as anything HBO has come out with save for Game of Thrones, and I'm sure in due time Netflix will best them in that category as well.

Anyway Hemlock Grove reminds me a lot of True Blood. Set in a fictional reality where supernaturalism is considered standard, except without all the goofy fuckin retarded characters. I mean I like True Blood and all, but they have a few cheeseballs in there for yucks. Hemlock is all serious all the time. Love the new actors too, good to bring some fresh faces to the game. Everyone is doing a great job, superb acting, great story, just all around solid show. Make sure to watch Episode 2 to see the sickest werewolf transformation in history.

Agree completely at the awesomeness of Netflix regarding their tv series and deployment.

I'll check out this series for sure.
