    Castlevania is one of those shows that has no right to be good and yet is just overall great.

      It has problems, mostly notably trying too hard to be edgy at times, but the character interpretations and the work done to make it all a consistent world are pretty good.

        The first season leaned way too hard on the gore. The show is at its best when characters are having calm discussions imo

          Yeah, that’s one part of edgy for edgy’s sake IMO. The other being absurd dialogues from nowhere, e.g. random anecdotes about goat fuckers.
