Hemlock Grove

Yea, thats a human arm coming out of that wolf being RIPPED in two.

Truly the most original concepts for werewolves and vampires I have ever seen, and the production/special effects sells it really well. The brutality of these races (in different ways of course) is shown in this tv series like you have never seen them before. Not only do you deal with these races though, there are others, and some magic. Its the best vampire/werewolf tv series to come out, face it Teen wolf is laughably childish, vampire diaries is as well, and the one series that had something going for it "The Originals" could be better (though I do like the originals). This is a dark, ADULT oriented, gore fest horror series, there are no trifle crushes, or high school love crap here.

Werewolves

Our werewolf MC, changing into wolf form.

These are my favorite werewolves since Wolf Lake. Remember that all to well known version of werewolves transformation where they physically shape shift into a half-man half-beast monster? Well this series said fuck that, and went the route of total mind fuck and full wolf (full wolf like Wolf Lake did). The transformation in this series is so primal and you see the skin being ripped off, and torn apart, and in the end, that bad ass wolf (human in full control btw) eats his human skin. Theres not much so far about wolf packs or wolf organization in the series, I imagine we will see more of that in season 3.

Vampires (Upir)

She is Upir, her son just ripped her tongue out with his teeth and said "You talk to much".

No doubt, if the werewolves sounded like your kind of thing, you will love the vampires in this series (known as Upir). They dont just eat blood, but human flesh as well. The vampires we meet so far are trying to develop a means of an easy access no fuss food source, the church has even been allowing it (they kill all things monster apparently or something). But theres so much more going on, so much more awesome to the whole story.

Whats even better about this series is how much like anime it is, theres no inherently good/evil person or organization. Sure one of our main characters doesn't really kill innocents, but he also just doesn't give any fucks. The church is clearly, when you watch the series, NOT the "good" guys as it were, they are fucked up in their own ways. Then theres the Upir, which when you think about it just want to live in peace, so they are trying to develop a none "kill everything you eat" approach to feeding. Sure theres a few bastards here and there that I wish would fucking die because I hate their guts, and sure they have done some evil shit (that mother). But honestly when I think about their position I can understand.

WATCH THIS SHOW DAMN IT!
