In 1792 France, Richter Belmont, a young vampire hunter with a whip and a family grudge, joins a group of revolutionaries to stop a vampire queen who plans to swallow the sun.
Gore-loving animation fans who want a hero that jokes through the fights will have a good time. Richter cracks wise while his whip tears through night creatures in the streets, which keeps the blood from turning grim. Thuso Mbedu's Annette, a sorceress who handles herself, and Zahn McClarnon's Olrox, a villain with real presence, give the action people worth watching.
Season one spends much of its run setting pieces up and slows in the middle; season two moves faster, with more fights.
