9/10 stars. I hated when the cable company took away El Ray network in my area it was around season 2. So I had to wait for these to go to stream networks before being able to see them all. Eiza Gotzalez is an amazing actress and I know for one I would have never seen her with out this series!!! The other cast were amazing. Seasons 1&2 were great they added so much story to the original Dusk Till Dawn movie. Then came season 3 it was not great but really not that bad. I just wish they would have took a little more time to make it right. It seemed rushed to me. With all the problems I think came with season 3 I still think the series overall deserves a great score. I still hate the cable company took El Ray Network off the list in our area.
... View More(Updated after Season 3).A series-length adaptation of the movie of the same name. That was written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Robert Rodriguez. Now it's just the Robert Rodriguez Show...Story is the same. Two criminal brothers, Richie and Seth Gecko, are on the run from the law in Texas. They kidnap a man and his two children and cross the border into Mexico. There they end up at a bar where not everything is at it would seem...Like the movie, this started very well. While it was a crime-drama it was great: gritty, edgy and entertaining. Then, from a certain point it becomes a vampire/monster-drama and loses its edge. Becomes more a plain old action movie, with weird creatures.Season 2 tried to do something different, but in doing so lost focus and just ending up going in random, pointless directions. Right then the only reason to continue watching was Eiza Gonzalez...Unfortunately Eiza Gonzalez doesn't really have much screen time in Season 3, appearing briefly early on and then for the final two episodes. The plot in Season 3 is a bit more focused that S2, but that doesn't say much, plus it is focused on supernatural, style- over-substance nonsense. If S3 isn't the final season it is certainly, at least, my final season of watching From Dusk Till Dawn.
... View MoreFrom Dusk Till Dawn ...I first thought this was another foreign Mexican show but it isn't. It is about Ancient myths and ideologies coming to place in a modern 21st century environment, a brotherly drama, a pact of blood and human destiny. It's really not something you can summarize here at all.It stars some of the most convincing actors I have seen on TV, and the action scenes are so unbelievably intense (and I'm not someone who gets on the edge of my seat for even what many call the most intense scenes on the Game of Thrones, which is known for its high intensity scenes), but in this show, it does a damn fine job of getting me all pumped up and excited without even consciously knowing that i am excited. Some parts are just cinematically beautiful, and some of it just reminds me of those quintessentially awesome cinematic scenes from a classic Tarantino movie like Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. Tarantino is heavily involved with this show and does the screenplay for the episodes. Stellar cast and crew working on this. It's a definite winner. Similarly, if you think the pilot is slow (which is highly unlikely if you watch it till the end, you will be hooked onto what happens next, just like me), the next four episodes is more drama & action, and then it comes to some super intense action-hero type stuff, which the 12-year old dorky comic book reader kid inside of me, just couldn't stop jumping up and down about. I seriously binge watched the entire first season in one or two days, and again, I am not this type of person, but it is totally worth it binge-watching this entire series.I think this is a more hardcore version of Supernatural and it has similar 'brotherly' themes. Like that, it also has the same suspense that The Walking Dead does, with vampires instead of undead zombies. The effects are damn convincing and awesome, no other words to describe it. The awesome plot twists like the Game of Thrones, are also present here. This is mainly because the writers and Special effects team are movie guys, and have done really popular classic movies, and they use those same techniques for this show.This is my new favorite TV show. (even higher than Game of Thrones, the Walking Dead, etc) and no, I haven't even watched the movie version yet. But I will eventually.I recommend this to anyone in this world.
... View MoreUpon the release of "From Dusk Till Dawn" in 1996, it spawned 2 sequels. As in most cases the first entry was the best. In fact I loved everything about the first film. From the story to the characters, to the actors portraying the characters, to the script. "From Dusk Till Dawn" was arguably a perfect film. When i heard of the TV series coming in 2014, I was more than excited to see where this will take me. Unfortunately, the series appeared on "El Rey", a new channel that was only on certain cable services. So I had to wait for the DVD. I was very surprised at what i saw. I've heard reviews of people not liking this series (A lot say its not true to the original movie.) But i beg to differ. What it does is it takes a great movie and expands on that concept making it a more creative and fun series. Yes, it differed from the movie. But in it's own right it is an amazing series. I don't think Robert Rodriquez would do anything to hurt his gem of a movie. I think the new cast was near perfectly picked out for the remake-series. As one Dusk fan to another, the bad reviews on here in my opinion, are very misleading. Please watch it for yourself and watch it with a open mind! The 1st season was recently on Netflix to stream. So if you have Netflix streaming, now is the time to use it. "The Gecko Brothers are back!'
