Ringside Report Reviews Netflix Show Hemlock Grove – Entertainment News

By Janet Grace

Hemlock Grove is one heck of a cluster fuck show. A Canadian Production, based on Horror/Thriller book: “Hemlock Grove” by Brian McGreevy, which I’ll have to read, at some point.
The synopsis of the story is basically about two new friends with much and nothing in common, who team up to solve horrific murders in their Pennsylvania hood, where the middle class has completely been wiped out leaving solely the sinfully poor and the mega wealthy.

It’s creepy, suspenseful, and keeps you guessing. The story unfolds one thread at a time with nothing ever being as one is led to believe. That was the kick in the tochus.

The main character, Peter’s, background is of Gypsy Descent. The townsfolk are not very welcoming of their poverty or different ways. It’s Gypsy Lives Matter in this show.

Peter is the new kid; who meets the suave, rich kid; Roman; whose beloved sister, Shelly, a giant of a sweetheart with a rare deformity, is as sweet as pie and clearly misunderstood.

Peter’s Mom, Lynda, is the cool parental figure in Peter’s life. On the flip side, there’s the wealthy and beautiful; but deviously narcissistic, Olivia, sadly, Roman’s mom. Destiny, is Peter’s Psychic Cousin. Dr. Norman, is Roman and Shelly’s Strange Uncle. Letha, is Norman’s daughter, and the two siblings’ cousin. Everyone’s got secrets and someone’s a killer, but who? One by one, the story and those secrets come tumbling out, s-l-o-w-l-y (side eye) unfolding with each episode.

Loving everything Angelic; Vampiric; Werewolf; Frankenstein, Zombie, batshit stuff you don’t see every day, I ate it up. If you’re one who enjoys watching all of this — not terribly horrifying, but definitely captivating, Then, this show is for you!

Enter the strange, mystifying world of Hemlock Grove.
