Reactions from the web
Not sure about this. I don’t care how the actors look or if the plot is changed but what I do care is that the vibe of the show and actors matches the vibe of the books and characters. And when I look at this I don’t see the Vampire academy at all, I see something completely different. The actors also don’t give me the vibe of their characters, the closest is probably the girl that plays Lissa. And based on Dimitri’s one line to Rose here in the trailer… I see zero chemistry between them and zero emotions on his face, he looks so bland? I also don’t see the chemistry between Rose and Lissa, so idk what Julie was thinking with this cast. UPDATE: I’m actually pleasantly surprised after watching the first 5 episodes… the trailer didn’t do it justice.

Zoey Deutch was a perfect Rose, can’t come to terms with a new version of her
