WORTH WATCHING: ..., ‘Vampire Academy’ and ...
"A supernatural YA series based on the Vampire Academy books launches on Peacock, ..."
Vampire Academy
Peacock
SERIES PREMIERE
The CW may have put a stake in its young-adult vampire shows, but the supernatural spirit lingers on as creators Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries) and Marguerite MacIntyre (The Originals) present their stubbornly generic take on the genre in a new adaptation of Richelle Mead’s book series (previously a 2014 movie). Daniela Nieves is Lissa Dragomir, a scion of privileged Moroi vampire royalty, and Sisi Stringer her devoted best friend and protector Rose Hathaway from lower-strata half-vampire Guardian stock. With monstrous Strigoi vampire demons lurking to pounce at any moment, the series hits the usual CW beats of action, lust and intrigue, though with a lot more F-bombs and almost no humor.
