Hemlock Grove on Netflix

I binge watched Season One. Ready for Season Two. BRING IT!!!

I love this show. At times it is over stylized. I think the same story could have been told in 6 episodes perfectly.

At the heart of this story is a werewolf and something else. The two teens are friends and locking heads every other moment. They come together to solve the mystery of a killer wolf. Peter Rumancek wonders if he is capable of murder.

Roman Godfrey clearly is a supernatural but not till the final episode do we find out what for sure... However Famke Janssen as Olivia Godfrey seems like a remake of THE HUNGER form day one to me. Calling themselves UPIR this is just a variation of Vampire. (FROM URBAN DICTIONARY UPRI -  Russian vampire that function during daylight hours. Eats children then their parents. Said to be the most vicious vampire.)

BTW Freya Tingley as Christina Wendall is amazing for any actress of any age.



FROM WIKI
Hemlock Grove is an American horror thriller television series for the online video streaming company Netflix. The show is from executive producer Eli Roth, developed by Brian McGreevy and Lee Shipman, and is a production of Gaumont International Television. It is based on McGreevy's novel Hemlock Grove, which was published on March 27, 2012.[1] The show premiered April 19, 2013, with all 13 episodes made immediately available for online viewing.

The show examines the strange happenings in Hemlock Grove, a fictional town in Pennsylvania. Roman Godfrey, heir to the town's wealthy Godfrey family, befriends the town's newcomer Peter Rumancek. Recent brutal murders in the town have stirred up rumors, and the two work together to shed light on the case while also hiding their own dark secrets.

On June 19, 2013, Netflix renewed Hemlock Grove for a second season of 10 episodes to air in 2014.[3] On July 18, 2013 Netflix earned the first Primetime Emmy Award nominations for original online only web television for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2013. Three of its online original series, House of Cards, Arrested Development and Hemlock Grove, earned nominations.

The series is set in the town of Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania. The town is a mixture of extreme wealth and poverty, as the closing of the town's steel mill many years earlier caused many to lose their jobs. The town's main sources of employment are now the Hemlock Acres Hospital and Godfrey Institute for Biomedical Technologies. Run by the powerful Godfrey family, the Institute is rumored to conduct sinister experiments on a daily basis. The town's rumor mill turns even more twisted when two teenage girls are brutally killed, their bodies left for unsuspecting people to find the next day. Peter Rumancek, a 17-year-old Gypsy, is suspected of the crimes by some of the townsfolk and is also rumored to be a werewolf. While he is secretly a werewolf, he is not the killer, and, along with the heir to the Godfrey estate, Roman, he sets out to solve the mystery.
