Review: City of Blood Features Many Missed Opportunities in a Dystopian Berlin and an All-Too-Familiar Climate Bubble
The eight-part series City of Blood, based on Reinhard Kleist’s graphic novel Berlinoir, is set in a near-future divided Berlin where right-wing extremists form an alliance with vampires. The plot involves sisters Bea and Phoebe navigating political tensions led by Premier Hilda Klein and the populist Aufbruch Berlin party, alongside threats from a vampire elite living in a climate bubble. Despite incorporating current issues like the rise of the AfD, the review criticizes the show for failing to create a coherent narrative, noting it feels disjointed and overly reminiscent of other dystopian films such as Blade and Elysium.
