First Kill

First Kill makes every episode count, and right now it's all streaming on Netflix and beyond. Exactly the kind of show the streaming era was built for.

At its heart, First Kill is a procedural that understands what makes the genre work — character first, plot second. Falling in love is tricky for teens Juliette and Calliope: One's a vampire, the other's a vampire hunter — and both are ready to make their first kill. Sarah Catherine Hook and Imani Lewis lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2022.

Crime and mystery fans will find exactly what they're after here — if Van Helsing is in your watch history, First Kill belongs there too. It works equally well as a long binge or episode-by-episode over a few weeks.
