Novissima Solis

It's over thankfully. The first season was good and the 2nd alright and then I pretty much hate watched it the rest of the way, hoping it would get better. Similar to TWD it lost its way. Why can't any of these shows keep their flow. It feels like they changed show runners after the 2nd season. Virtually nothing about the end of this show was about vampires or vampire hunters, it was more like super heros or wizards fighting. Plus all of the interesting characters except Axel were gone long ago. Everyone who worked on writing and directing this show should be ashamed of themselves, it's like they gave up half way through the run and were forced to follow some weird agenda. I feel sorry for the actors, even the bad ones. At least they got to end it, kudos to syfy for that, it ended quick thankfully and didn't drag it on for 10 years.

Season 1 8/10 Season 2 7/10 Season 3 3/10 Season 4 1/10 Season 5 2/10.

Thank God it's over. Words I rarely use to describe a TV Series that started off so promising to a Sci-fi fan. This is the fourth time I've attempted to watch past season 3, just to be able to see how it ends. It was a hard slog watching the show deteriorate and many a time I wanted to yell at the screen at the characters stupidity (due to the shoddy writing). If the amulet was so important why did Vi and Jack have it on display? Tuck that necklace under your shirts!!! Good grief....the only light at the end of a long drawn out tunnel was the return of Vanessa - who luckily escaped the last 2 seasons, a well timed pregnancy by the actress!

A decent season finale, bringing in some fun cameos. The final battle royale was more witchcraft then vampire, but that's okay. Storylines were wrapped up and some open endings left for the audience to mull over. An ending the series deserved.

Lets start off by saying this whole series wasn't a masterpiece. It was a decent vampire series with high and lows and should be judged as such.

I liked this finale mostly due to Kelly being back. Her presence is felt. Most of the episodes without her since the middle of season 4 were bad. I didn't care much for Violett and Jack. I kept on watching mostly hoping she will return. Scarlett in season 2 and 3 was actually more interesting then both of them.

I understand that Kelly gave birth in in 2017 and 2019 this is why she was missing that much.

Tricia Helfer made a great villain. And Axel was a great charter too.

On a final note, I hated their rewrite of history with Abraham Van helsing becoming Jack Van helsing. There was too much male characters becoming female as it is.

It was a decent finale, wrapping things and allowing some open ending, but I did not like the ending of many of the characters, including Vanessa herself. Many things may no sense, though. It the inner logic had been best, the rating would have been 9, as it was entertaining and cool to watch.
