Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (5 ):
Kids say (4 ):

A lukewarm script and middling special effects hinder a cute premise in this tween vampire series. There are middle school mean girls, a weird comic book shop, budding superpowers, adoption themes, and TikTok-type dance numbers in I Woke Up a Vampire -- all of which will draw middle-school viewers to the action-packed series.

The violence and threat are on the light side for a vampire show, though spooky voices coming from dark clouds might frighten the most sensitive viewers. Parents will probably get a little bored, wishing for some juicy Easter eggs to keep the content fresh for them, too.
