The gore is inventive, but after the billionth bloodbath, there are still as many narrative loose ends as ever. When the story doesn't hold, even the jugular geysers feel boring.
The new episodes are mediocre in terms of plot and character development, but they're also consistently paced, and no longer bogged down by exposition.

To say I am surprised by the low score given to the show by the critics is to say nothing. It is one of the most enjoyable shows I have ever watched with interesting characters and, most importantly, a good mystery at the heart of it. The show started in a way that suggested a cliched YA drama but quickly steered away from the beaten path into the territory of inventive and delicious weirdness.
As was suggested by another reviewer, this is a show in its own category, there is nothing quite like it out there now. Most, if not all, current high-budget dramas Hemlock Grove gets compared to, are tired unimaginative milk cows for the networks. This one I find infinitely more inspired and entertaining.

SEASON 2
It is lurid and heated (which "Extant" could use more of) but it’s also just ridiculous and filled with awful dialogue spouted by characters about whom it is impossible to care.
Mostly, the show exists for its gross-out moments, always a staple of the latenight TV/movies-studios-don’t-screen-for-critics circuit. Still, it’s not like there’s a shortage of places to find either, and the plotting is so haphazard there’s scant incentive to hang around for this season’s 10 hours.
I loved every second of Hemlock grove, never been a fan of these types of things and i think vampire dairies is just pure rubbish.. but my boyfriends persuaded me to watch it, whilst eating our dinner - graphic, but amazing! I've watched it 3 times, so far and i'm definitely falling in love with Famke*!
It's an amazing show, why the low rating on meteoritic?!?!?!?
Bring a 3rd series out soon please!

SEASON 2
I really loved season 1 but season 2 was ultimately that utterly ridiculous and pointless sequel. From the start its very clear that its an entirely new creative team, which by itself is fine but what they create is lame. The mood is gone, the characters are weak caricatures of themselves, and the plot falls apart completely and leads no where. Very disappointing.

SEASON 2
After completing Hemlock Grove: Season 2 I must say that I have completely wasted 10 hours of my life and I am embarrassed to admit that I stuck it through all 10 episodes. This stable of episodes seemed rushed through with a trail of undeveloped characters stuck smack in the middle of a mindless plot. Netflix stumbled and fell on their faces with this one.

SEASON 2
*Warning spoilers ahead*
I really liked the first season and i immediatly watched season two when it was released. Unfortunately the second season turned out to be very unlike the first and very poorly directed.
All the new charecters have very little depth, and often do things that make no sense in order for it to fit into the plot. The character Miranda is a victim of this, she continually changes her mind when it fits the plot. The further you go into the season the more obvious it is that Miranda is not actually meant to be a meaningfull character but just a plot device
But even overlooking the fact that all the new characters in the show are very poorly written, the show has no consistency and doesnt expand or explain many of the mysterious things going on. Everything appears to happen randomly, in fact so random that the only meaning that can be applied to the events is that it fits the plot, which is still nonexistant.
The show also does many things that makes it hard to immerse yourself into the universe. For example at one point in the movie the characters need help from an old woman. They need her to help identify someone so they bring her a paper with suspects and numbers below. Instead of merely pointing, or telling them the number she writes it with her own feces on the wall.
Instances like these ruins the universe and makes it hard to take anything in the series at anything but face value.
And dont even get me started on the ending....
