Reply to comment by Significant_Sign in Is there anyone who has watched the series Van Helsing (2016) and actually liked it? by eevanss6705

yes this is exactly what i meant! you phrased it so well, if i could pin this comment i would haha, another thing is that other vampire-based movies i’ve watched like Twilight or The Vampire Diaries…the vampires look human, whereas in this series they are really different and almost look like zombies…which is also what i don’t like ngl

It's not how most people use the term, but I label any show like this a soap opera. Regardless of genre or the lighting crew's ability. And I won't watch them once I start to feel I've been tricked into watching a Days of Our Lives clone. Soapy writing cheapens (alleged) character development and the work that goes into acting a and I just can't be having with it. Now, I'm not superior to anyone else, there's some dumb stuff I'll watch and enjoy but not soap operas.
