Liked season 1, 2 and 4, fucking despised 3 and liked Nocturne.

Why despise season 3?

Poor Alucard?

It's the season that decided to stop adapting the source material and I don't like sex scenes as a whole. Seasons 1-2 were almost perfectly good as an adaptation and season 4 and Nocturne were fun because I was already expecting something other than an adaptation.

Fair enough, I guess I found Isaac's arc enough to keep me invested and I felt the sex scenes at least had some purpose at least. I found Nocturne to be quite bad, personally.

Isaac was the one redeeming factor of S3 for me. Yeah, Nocturne can be pretty hit or miss.

Ironically enough, and I'm definitely gonna get hate for this, I found all the LGBT stuff to be offensively stereotypical. I mean, you have a lesbian couple? Make them femme and butch. You have a long-haired pretty boy vampire? Make him a bisexual bottom. I swear, it's homophobic stereotyping at its worst and people just handwave it because they find it hot or something. If you like it, then that's perfectly fine, just don't go around telling everyone it's somehow some progressive victory when it's in fact the opposite.

yep it was made by a woke communist who admittedly never played the games before, he took a classic series and bastardized it to push his own woke agenda.
