It sounds pulpy and trashy and like a guilty pleasure of a binge, starring Abigail Spencer, Rodrigo Santoro, Rhys Wakefield, and more young talent.
V Wars (Thursday, Netflix Series) — Ian Somerhalder, who’s no stranger to vampire dramas, plays a doctor racing against time where a mysterious disease transforms people into murderous bloodsuckers. Adrian Holmes co-stars as the underground leader of the vamps while a fracturing society
