Hemlock Grove (2013–2015)
7/10
Most cryptic series ever. Even when it's done.

Warning: Spoilers
NO MAJOR SPOILERS, REALLY, JUST VERY RANDOM STUFF YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND UNTIL YOU SAW IT.

I am surprised at how the story developed. I enjoyed making my own theories about what people are, their true intentions and more so, what on Earth is happening there? At times it reminded me a little of "The skin trade" By George R.R. Martin (YES, He who wrote "Game of thrones")

As good as I think the main story is (wolf gone wild) and how it turns out in the end. Which explains a lot, (and I am grateful for that bit), by the episode before they unmasked the killer I already had a fairly good idea of who it was, but before that, I truly had no idea. It was really good, surprising, everything was great.

The part I am not completely satisfied with, is all the side stories. The Godfreys.(Seriously what the hell?!) I don't have the first clue about what the hell Shelley is or went through (why the crap is she fluorescent? Is she like a human LED?) and I was kinda waiting for that explanation throughout the whole season. I kept checking how long was left of the last episode in the hopes I would get answers. An answer. Anything, really. But nothing came.

It would be also nice to know more about Olivia (A tail with no explanation, HELLO?). Honestly, I love the character, the actress really owns it, (doesn't hurt to wear fabulous dresses that I will be forever jealous of),and I think it could've been exploited much further. (MUCH FURTHER....SO MUCH FURTHER)

I am also not satisfied with how little they let out about project ouroboros. The end scene really did NOT tell me anything,(seriously, not a thing), I actually couldn't care less about it now.

All in all, I had a good time watching it, I don't consider it a waste of my time, however, I am left with gaps that will probably haunt me until the end of my days, (a feature in stories which I do not appreciate, it was like fear of death before HP7 was published) I enjoyed the story, the thrill, the suspense. I hope we get to see more of it and more importantly, I hope I get to quench my thirst for knowledge of a lot of things there.
