My Quick Take: First Kill requires some patience before it draws you in, but then it surprises you with its potential. Although the show has its quirks and corny moments, the chemistry between characters Juliette and Calliope is impressive and undeniable. Unfortunately, just as viewers became hooked, the show was canceled after just one season.
Synopsis: Teenage Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) comes from a powerful family of vampires and is now of age to join them by making her first kill. Calliope (Imani Lewis) is a trained vampire hunter from a family of acclaimed slayers and is ready to kill her first vampire. When the two fall in love, they must fight their instincts and question everything they’ve known.
Representation: The sweet and emotional romance between protagonists Juliette and Calliope is a storyline that the community has been craving. Their love story builds with each episode, and they have a chemistry that draws viewers in and makes them want to see what will happen next. Sadly, the show was canceled after only one season, another example of the bury your gays trope.
