Their subplot just isn’t that good & she is one of the dumbest characters in the series.Ĭarlos (Wilmer Valderrama) is easily the most improved character though, moving on from the lusting after Santanico into a much deeper & darker story (that has a few shades of Blade too). The rest of the cast can be a bit hit & miss (Santanico puts me to sleep, she’s so boring) with Kate (Madison Davenport) & Scott (Brandon Soo Hoo) stinking up the screen a few too many times. The over-arching stories that tie the brothers up separately to begin with is pretty good even if it takes a few episodes to really get going.ĭJ Cotrona & Zane Holtz (Seth & Richie) are far easier to enjoy now they are no longer trying to channel their inner Clooney & Tarantino. No longer bogged down by having to retell the film, this season’s story excels in many areas. There are lots of smaller bits & pieces throughout too, such as Kate wanting to try & save Scott’s soul & his struggle to contain his thirst for blood or Sheriff Gonzalez being dragged back into the culebra & Gecko world. Initially un-exciting, as the stories grow & expand they become more & more thrilling. These plot points are the main stories that make up season 2, the over-arching narrative that begins in episode 1 and ends in episode 10. With this he plans to command the culebra (snake vampires) & take over the nine’s operations. He plans to do this after learning of an ancient ritual that will reveal a well of blood. His power is growing & he wants to stake his claim as head of the nine lords. Meanwhile Carlos has survived & escaped the Labyrinth under the Titty Twister bar. Santanico’s escape has angered the head of the nine Malvado who resurrects a bounty hunter called the Regulator (played by Danny Trejo) & tells him to hunt down the Gecko brothers. Richie is with Santanico planning revenge on the nine lords while Seth is with Kate just trying to survive (he is now a heroin addict). Season 2 begins months after the season 1 finale with Seth & Richie having gone their separate ways.
#DUSK TILL DAWN CAST RAFA FREE#
Now free from the shackles of the movie, From Dusk Till Dawn has the chance to finally carve its own path, one that could prove that it is every bit the competent vampire horror or cement the view that it is just a failure of a show. Plenty of people must have enjoyed it though as here we have the second season (with a third coming too). It was a lost cause from the very start but if you want to know more you can read the review of that season here. The problem was that it chose instead to rethread most of the movie, stretching it into an entire season & dropping the ‘tongue in cheek’ nature. From Dusk Till Dawn is a cult favourite with enough ambiguity (provided you ignore the sequels) to the world that expansion was ideal & welcome.
The most frustrating thing about it though was how much of a missed opportunity it was. Ten episodes that felt like twenty, its attempt at re-telling the story from the film fell way short of quality & what it did change, it changed for the worse. The first season of From Dusk Till Dawn was nothing short of an absolute train wreck.
