Summary, a man who has no talent other than victimhood and using that as a means to attack a beloved cartoon and making a name for himself vandalizes a different property.
Out of all the video games you could make into a TV show DMC has a lot going for it, it’s pretty easy to get it right. Yet somehow they managed to get it wrong. This shouldn’t shock anyone after a good first season of Castlevania they managed to ruin that in short order.
Here is little different with modern politics entering into source material that in some cases is decades old, always in the most cringe ways. We also have a girl boss, who didn’t even arrive in the series until DMC 3. You could have had a strong female character in Trish but no. The series wants to ignore any aspects of the games it doesn’t like.
In many ways this feels like simply taking characters and putting them into something else this doesn’t feel in anyway like DMC and it feels painful trying.
It feels like the hello fellow kids memes forced into a couple seasons of a netflix show.
0.5/5
Pros.
It’s short
Cons.
It’s nothing like the games
Where’s Trish
It’s boring
Its inserting modern dayisms left right and centre
None of the characters are likeable
