Dont go into the show expecting, anything relative to the castlevania story, the writers have changed, the year, place and characters, attitudes and events, pushing agendas that have no relevance to the actual story. Dont expect richter, (the strongest and most skilled of the belmonts) to live up to his reputation, but expect him to be pushed to the side to make room for less likeable characters who drag the story along. If your a castlevania fan, watch season 1 of the first netflix series, thats as close to relative as possible.
