I wish articles like this wouldn't refer to it as Netflix "removing". It makes it sound like they choose to get rid of it like WB

Hemlock Grove is a lot of fun, and still my favorite “Netflix original.” It deserves to live on Shudder.

I love Famke Jansen but this show was total garbage. I quit it in Season 3 without finishing and I've never wanted to go back.

This is by far the tamest Eli Roth property I've ever seen. I've seen it, but I can't even begin to recall a single solitary character or plot point. Say what you will about him as a person, but when he DID apply himself, he could pull off some pretty gnarly practical effects. Aftershock is probably his best work (probably because I love what happens to the dude wearing the reddit shirt) and I'd love to see what he could do with a series about people thrust in the midst of disasters. Sadly, the closest I've got right now to scratch that particular itch is Black Summer.

I only enjoyed the first season, but I may be an outlier.

I wanted to like this show so badly. It definitely had the best werewolf transition I've ever seen. And the worst British accent I've ever heard.

I liked the first and a little bit under half of the second season. Once the blood machine appeared, I was out. At least in my head. I sat through the rest of it just to see what happened. But it went from, "Oh, this is a cool take on the myths," to, "Did they mainline True Blood and Twilight? What the everliving sam hill?!"

I didn’t know Eli Roth was involved in this series but maybe that helps to explain why it sucked so much

It was cancelled for a reason…

I watched it because it was one of the early Netflix originals and there weren’t many other streaming platforms around yet.

Season 2 was weird and bad

This show really went off the rails. Solid first season or so, and then it literally devolved into something put together on a dare, or else by someone who had to write, direct, and edit the whole thing by themselves while still being the manager of a busy highway Wendy's. After the vampire mom got a tongue transplant which for some reason caused her to speak with an American accent from then on even though it was in no way relevant to the plot, I completely checked out. Still, it was my initial exposure to Bill Skarsgard and for that I'm grateful.

Why is is called FilmRise? It really makes no sense. Many of these streaming apps sound like 10 year old kids came up with the names for them....like Hulu, tubi, fubo, to name a few. Perhaps if they had more serious names like HBOMax, Disney+ and Netflix they would be taken more serious.

Yeah this came out back when watching every Netflix original was a plausible thing to do, and it was the first indication that not every Netflix original was going to be worth watching.

Seriously? This show was horrible! It’s just absolute trash. The only reason it’s even a mild curiosity is because of an early appearance by Bill Skarsgard which, I suppose, for a certain kind of audience is more than enough.

26% on Rotten Tomatoes, by the way.

There are a lot of good TV shows out right now that can make you feel a little happier, smarter, sexier, funnier, more excited — or more scared, if that’s what you want. This is not one of them. Don’t let it kill 30 hours of your life.

I also liked it. All these people saying how horrible it was don’t understand people have their own opinions. We like what we like. I wish it had just one more season to wrap everything up. Really wanted to see how the baby grew. cough

Bill Skarsgard as weirdo James Dean was fun in S1

The “Munch’s scream” special effect in S2 was so One Piece

I wouldn’t call it self-contained - A lot of plots are resolved, but they definitely are setting up season 2.

That being said, I would have probably been happier stopping at season 1.

The first season is the only season that you need to watch. It’s predictable as shit but at least I felt that there was a story The last two seasons made me so incredibly angry that I wanted to chuck my phone across the room. So much wasted potential for that show. If you ever wanted a show that wastes great performances and so many loose ends watch this show
