While the animation and writing in this first "season" occasionally stumble along the way, the series' creators have gone above and beyond to wring a resonant story from a game that never really had or needed one.

Castlevania is a welcome reminder that video games actually can make for compelling TV when the right people are put in charge.

Stuffed with both gothic imagery and startling violence, this adaptation is not for kids, but teens and adults, particularly gamers, may find something intriguing to chew on.
July 10, 2017
Filled with spectacle, fascinating characters, and a healthy dose of the macabre, Castlevania proves a rousing tale for adaptation.

Castlevania is ripe with potential, but also burdened with cliches. And so, it feels after four episodes like a show at a crossroads.

Netflix's Castlevania is a bloody, gothic and beautifully realized new series, even if it's frustratingly short and sometimes weirdly paced.

It's to the credit of the new, brief adaptation on Netflix that it manages to get something relatively focused out of the whole mishmash. But it also tries a little too hard to find profundity in a series that hasn't been terribly concerned with it.
July 11, 2017
It never quite reaches the demented highs of its pillar-of-hellfire pilot, but by season's end, there's a clear mission statement for arriving at a slightly more optimistic future.
July 10, 2017
Castlevania's writing steals the show. While the dramatic story progression sequences are all well-handled and serve their purpose, it is the show's humor that will catch you off-guard time and time again.
