The Netflix show that puts monster hunters against monsters is actually a great show which we at first were skeptical about. It is sort of a teenage drama supernatural series but has some great parts and overall storyline. Give it a chance before not going past episode 1. 

A brief synopsis of the show

Based on a short story by V.E. Schwab, First Kill follows Juliette Fairmont (Sarah Catherine Hook), a legacy vampire living in plain sight with her vampire family in Savannah, Georgia. (In First Kill, being a legacy vamp means you’re born, not made, though how exactly this happens is unclear.) At 16, the blood pills she’s lived off of her entire life are losing their efficacy, and it’s time for her to make her first kill. But Juliette is a rare breed, a legacy vamp with a conscience who is desperate to avoid killing at all costs. Enter Calliope Burns (Imani Lewis), the new girl in school who Juliette can’t stop thinking about. But when she finally goes to shoot her shot, Juliette is met with a stake straight to the heart. Calliope also isn’t just a regular teenage girl; she’s a monster hunter raised by a family of monster hunters.

Spoiler Alert – This is the first take on a lesbian biracial vampier/monster hunter relationship so you know there is drama. This time for once the drama isn’t about race or sexual orientation.
