Overview

Mark and his 12-year-old daughter’s lives were changed forever 10 years earlier when she was turned into a vampire. Locked in at age 12, perhaps forever, Eleanor lives a closed-in life, able to go out only at night, while her father does his best to provide her with the minimal amount of human blood she needs to stay alive.

Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 55 /100

Critics generally agreed that Showtime's television adaptation of Let the Right One In succeeds most when focusing on its central emotional relationships. Reviewers praised the sweetly drawn dynamics between the young vampire and her isolated peer, as well as the poignant focus on a father's devotion to protecting his daughter. In these intimate moments, the series captured compelling dramatic weight and heart.

However, many reviewers felt the show suffered from being stretched into a full-season television drama. Critics frequently pointed out that the addition of extraneous subplots, heavy exposition, and new narrative devices diluted the tension, causing the series to lose the sharp, visceral bite that made the original story so powerful.

“suffers from the same ailment of needless elongation due to a surfeit of subplots padding the original text”

“The series premiere shows the potential for a solid mythology-heavy drama, but it lacks the brutal bite that made the previous adaptations so powerful”

“Its central story, of the tremulous, growing bond between a young vampire (Madison Taylor Baez) and her socially isolated peer (Ian Foreman) is sweetly drawn”
