Castlevania has long since established itself as one of Netflix’s best original series and the uncontested champion of video game adaptations (low bar though that might be). Even so, there’s certainly reason for concern heading into the show’s fourth and final season. Can Castlevania tie up its many loose ends and deliver a fitting conclusion over the course of ten episodes? Have the recent scandals surrounding series creator/writer Warren Ellis forced a premature end? Fortunately, all those fears are quickly put to rest in Season 4. Castlevania ends its run with a dramatic, enthralling final season that more than lives up to expectations.Castlevania Season 1-4 Download.
The series really seems to have entered its Game of Thrones phase in Season 4. Not only is this bleak, blood-soaked, monster-ridden fantasy realm a dead-ringer for Westeros at times, the series has also increasingly come to emphasize the idea of warring factions and houses jockeying for power in a land beset by chaos. Apart from Trevor Belmont (Richard Armitage) and Sypha Belnades (Alejandra Reynoso), none of the show’s surviving characters neatly fit into the hero or villain camp. Season 4 shows these different factions making their big power plays and slowly, deliberately begins drawing these scattered characters together into the grand finale.How would you score Castlevania: Season 4.
Indeed, that’s always been one of Castlevania’s greatest strengths – crafting nuanced, three-dimensional characters with clear goals and motivations. Even with a character like vengeful vampire queen Carmilla (Jaime Murray), the series takes great pains to explore why she commits her unspeakable atrocities and why she feels justified in turning Europe into a massive human cattle pen. The show also continues to get great mileage out of ex-Forgemaster Isaac (Adetokumboh M’Cormack), who finds himself unwittingly evolving from conqueror to something more.
