the gay scene wasn't enough, they had to bring in a trans to really get their hollywood brownie points

Eva Green went all out in that role. Seeing a woman that attractive go batshit insane on screen for a part is pretty impressive.

She has always done a lot of back breaking work for mankind. They're a heavy burden. Props to her baring the weight in many of her great works.

Will have to rewatch for this bathing scene you mentioned.

She’s the best of her age range imo. There’s nothing that woman can’t pull off on screen.

I'd just like to point out that you're complaining about a 10 year old series.

You've had plenty of opportunity to review the content of the show before watching.

I started this recently. I am on season two now. I am enjoying it. So far, I have liked season two better than season one.

I haven't thought about this show in a long time, may need to do a rewatch.

Finished this last night. I wasn't crazy about the ending for Vanessa but I can see how it was necessary. It did leave a few questions. What's the deal with Dracula now? Will Ethan and the old Apache continue to be werewolves?

I really enjoyed the arc of the Creature. At the end, he lost a great deal. I wonder what the future holds for him. I was definitely beginning to dislike Lily. However, her final scene with Victor was moving. I wonder what the future will hold for her. Maybe in some way, she and the Creature can be together. I'm not sure if Victor fits in that too.

I have been wanting to watch this show for a while. When I saw that it was finally on Prime, I started. I really enjoyed it.

The ending was a bit rushed due to it getting cancelled.

Still one of my favorite shows though. And maybe my favorite representation of Frankenstein’s creature in movie/TV.

I wasn't aware of the rushing due to cancellation. I think they did the Creature really well. I agree with you.

I didn't know there was a follow up series

I couldn’t watch it - totally unnecessary.
