Castlevania: Nocturne

It’s the French Revolution, and counter-revolutionaries are fighting to regain power from the people. To do so, they’ve gone ahead and summoned a vampire messiah. That’ll show those humans who dare resist, right? 

To keep the world from being forced into eternal darkness under the reign of bloodthirsty vampires, Caribbean sorceress Annette (Thuso Mbedu) goes on a mission. She enlists legendary vampire hunter Richter Belmont (Edward Bluemel) to take the fight to the undead before they can strike. With the help of revolutionary leader Maria Renard (Pixie Davies), the trio work to stave off the impending threat. 

As with all the prior Castlevania series, there’s plenty of gore to go around, but at the heart of the show is a can’t-miss drama that’ll keep you coming back for another bite. - BV

Dear Child

Adapted from Romy Hausman's best-selling novel Liebes Kind, this German six-part miniseries will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Investigators grapple with linking a present-day search with a decade-old missing persons case. It calls back to the harrowing years a woman (Kim Riedle) and her two children (Naila Schuberth and Sammy Schrein) spent confined in a windowless prison by an unknown male captor. It's terrifying and bleak with the harsh reminder that all of this could happen to anyone, with some of the most exciting twists you'll see in the genre. And best of all, you can read the book when you're done to unlock more of the mystery. - BV
