But when she finally goes to shoot her shot, Juliette is met with a stake straight to the heart. Enter Calliope Burns (Imani Lewis), the new girl in school who Juliette can’t stop thinking about. But Juliette is a rare breed, a legacy vamp with a conscience who is desperate to avoid killing at all costs. (In First Kill, being a legacy vamp means you’re born, not made, though how exactly this happens is unclear.) At 16, the blood pills she’s lived off of her entire life are losing their efficacy, and it’s time for her to make her first kill.
Schwab, First Kill follows Juliette Fairmont (Sarah Catherine Hook), a legacy vampire living in plain sight with her vampire family in Savannah, Georgia. Just don’t expect the story to really make sense.īased on a short story by V.E.
First Kill, Netflix’s new supernatural YA drama about two teenage girls who fall in love despite their status as mortal enemies, more than lives up to these high expectations. It’s also much better when it’s forbidden, and when there are vampires involved, it’s just all the more intense (and hot). Years of watching television aimed at young adults has taught me that young love is supposed to be painfully passionate and full of longing, heartache, and secret make-out sessions.
