Let the Right One In
Anything for blood.
Mark and his 12-year-old daughter’s lives were changed forever 10 years earlier when she was turned into a vampire. Locked in at age 12, perhaps forever, Eleanor lives a closed-in life, able to go out only at night, while her father does his best to provide her with the minimal amount of human blood she needs to stay alive.

I have not read the original book this is based on, I have seen the original Swedish movie though it has been so long I don't remember it that much. Given the originals are a Swedish Scandinavian story they sure went out of their way to DEI up the casting. Single mom and boy that live next door are now black and the vampire character is now of Spanish/Pilipino mixed race and her guardian from the originals is now her father played by a Mexican actor. The aforementioned
black mom is a detective with an Asian partner. There is an insane amount of DEI and a ridiculous lack of white people in general with most of those being female, except the white male junkie of
course. The scene of the kid in the school cafeteria shows almost no white kids. The gift shop owner appears to be a gay Asian.
A flashback scene shows the mom played by a Brazilin actress so not sure where the half Pilipino kid comes from but whatever.
The acting is ok generally except the child actor that plays Eli is pretty poor. There is a very bad CG shot in the first episode of her running and climbing a tree. Why make that CG at all? This feels like another one of these adaptations where they try to stretch out a single book into an ongoing series by adding a bunch of nonsense not in the original and just changing everything so much it barely resembles the original. One episode was enough for me.
