I'm a 37-year-old man who grew up with the Castlevania video game franchise, from the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis - Castlevania Bloodlines - and the first PlayStation with Symphony of the Night. Hearing that Netflix is going to make adaptation of this beloved game franchise, I knew I was going to watch this.
And watched it I have.
While I haven't finished the final fourth season, I love this series. Beautifully animated, the violence is on par with the brutality of the video games, and the storytelling is *chef's kiss* excellent. Graham McTavish's mellifluous voice fits Dracula well, and Richard Armitage's Devil-may-care performance as Trevor Belmont...he sounds like the kind of guy who's tired of BS.
Highly recommended. If you like the video games, you'll like this series. 22 episodes of bliss.
