'First Kill' Review: Netflix teen queer vampire drama packs quite the bite
'First Kill' at its core is quite simple. It's a tale of forbidden love, and no we're not talking about the same-sex relationship angle. The challenge that Calliope (Imani Lewis) and Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) face is that the former is a monster hunter while the latter happens to be a legacy vampire (someone who was born a vampire). Though the teens seem to be drawn toward each other right from the get-go, the attraction only grows stronger and irresistible once their respective identities are revealed.
The Netflix queer vampire drama, based on a story by VE Schwab, kicks off with a peek into the world of Juliette Fairmont, who belongs to a prestigious clan of legacy vampires and is on the cusp of becoming a full-fledged one herself. However, she isn't comfortable with embracing her nature and is regularly pushed by Margot (Elizabeth Mitchell), her mother and matriarch of the Fairmont family, to find someone for her first kill.
