Netflix ‘I Woke Up a Vampire’ Season 2 Review - From Fangs to Flops

Alright, let's dive into this review with the finesse of a slightly burnt marshmallow on a campfire skewer. Strap in, folks, because we're about to embark on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of "I Woke Up a Vampire" Season 2.

In this season, Carmie's journey takes a darkly comedic turn as she, alongside her trusty sidekick Kev (played with geeky charm by Niko Ceci), embarks on a scavenger hunt through the mysterious woods. But this isn't your average treasure hunt; it's a journey of self-discovery and revelation, as Carmie uncovers the secrets of her vampiric lineage.

First things first, let's talk about positives. You know, the sprinkles on the cupcake of life. The show's got a cast that's more diverse than a bag of mixed nuts, which is a refreshing change from the same old vanilla scoop we often get served. As the moon rises high in the sky, let's revisit the positives of "I Woke Up a Vampire" Season 2. Kaileen Chang as Carmie Henley is the beating heart of the show, a beacon of light in a world shrouded in darkness. Her journey of self-discovery is both relatable and inspiring, reminding us all that it's okay to embrace our quirks and differences.

But let's not forget the supporting cast, who bring their own unique flavors to the mix. Niko Ceci as Kev Gardner is the comic relief we all need, injecting every scene with a healthy dose of humor and charm. And then there's Kris Siddiqi as The Collector, whose mysterious aura adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already captivating story.

Plus, let's give a round of applause for the themes of self-discovery and acceptance woven throughout the season. It's like the show's giving a big old hug to anyone who's ever felt like they didn't quite fit in. And who doesn't love a good hug?

But now, let's pull out the garlic and silver bullets and shine a light on the not-so-great aspects. First off, the script. It's about as sharp as a plastic butter knife, lacking the wit and zing needed to really sink its teeth into the audience. And don't even get me started on the special effects. I've seen more convincing fangs on a Halloween costume from the dollar store.

And while we're at it, can we talk about the level of violence? Or lack thereof? I get it, the show's aiming for a younger audience, but come on, even "Sesame Street" has more edge than this. Where's the blood? The gore? The palpable sense of danger? It's like watching a vampire show with all the bites taken out.

In conclusion, "I Woke Up a Vampire" Season 2 is like a bag of mixed candy. Sure, there are some sweet moments that'll make you smile, but there's also a fair share of bland flavors that leave you wondering if it's really worth the sugar rush. So grab your stakes and garlic, folks, because this one's a mixed bag of tricks and treats.

Final Score- [5/10]
