Sink your teeth into Castlevania.

It is almost February and within the time that I've been missing, there have been so many news, that it is kind of hard to talk to you guys about everything.

Lately, I must admit that I've been in a weird funk of watching interesting shows, movies, that are not necessarily in everyone's radar. Yes, I could talk about the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, or anything else that has been buzzing around the internet. But lately, with all the nay-sayers, I've kinda gotten into this funk of finding lost treasure in shows that might not be well known, or given enough time of day, due to either people not knowing, or just glossing over. 

One of those 'diamonds in the rough' that I recently was made aware of is 'Castlevania' on Netflix.

There's only two seasons of the animated series, and I basically binged watched season 1 yesterday with the Hubby. 

And seriously, if you haven't seen this animated series, it really is damned good. (See what I did there, 😉)

It is based on the old school game Castlevania, and it is recognizable as such, but it is absolutely enjoyable.

The animation is stylish, sophisticated. It's a cross between modern animation/Anime.

The story is well put together and the character development is well done. 

Most of the time, I was honestly rooting for Dracula, even though he's technically, the villain, due to the story you can't help but sympathize for him.

It includes the voice talents of Richard Armitage (yes, THAT Richard Armitage).

It's gory, Gothic, dark, and with vampire and fantasy galore. I'm seriously hooked on this series.

And apparently, there's a green light for a season 3, so let's hope that it keeps up with the incredible story and writing.

I wish I could say more, but I'd would have to spoil things for you. But if you're aware of the Castlevania story arch from the game, you can deduce certain things for yourself. 

I can only equate this series as with the new She-ra, it's recognizable enough for audiences, but it adds on to the already lore of it. But in a good way, of course!

So, if you're in the mood for something a bit more dark, intelligent, then I suggest you watch this series, you'll not regret it.
