Being a medical student, I did enjoy the science backed into the plot. I felt that involving prions (the cause of mad cow disease) fit in well with the fictional disease portrayed in the series. The action was entertaining, but the special effects could have used some work (some of the "vampire faces" were not very believable to me, at least for the standards set in 2019). I thought that Ian Somerhalder actually did a great job leading the show; I also think that if it wasn't for him, the show would be a lot worse than it is. The acting was generally okay, with some great moments and also some complete lol moments. The plot itself kept me addicted, but there were some "wtf?" moments that I think should have had a bit more of an explanation (example: when Dr. Luther just ever so easily sneaks into a high security blood concentration camp to save his son). All in all, I think this series definitely deserves a second season, especially with the cliffhanger at the end of season 1 where Dr. Luther Swann (Ian Somerhalder) supposedly becomes a total baddass.
