Hemlock Grove is a supernatural-horror/thriller show created by Brian McGreevy and Lee Shipman for Netflix from 2013 to 2015. The show is based on the novel of the same name by Brian McGreevy. Set in Hemlock Grove, a fictional town in Pennsylvania, the show revolves around the mysterious and gruesome murders happening in the town. The show begins with the death of a young girl, which sets off a chain of events that leads to the introduction of two main characters: Roman Godfrey, played by Bill Skarsgård, and Peter Rumancek, played by Landon Liboiron. Roman is the heir to the Godfrey family, who are the wealthiest family in Hemlock Grove, and Peter is a gypsy who has recently moved to Hemlock Grove. Both Roman and Peter have secrets and abilities that they keep hidden from the people around them. As the show progresses, more deaths occur, and the town becomes more and more divided as to who or what is responsible for the gruesome murders. Peter and Roman team up to try and uncover the truth behind the murders and the supernatural forces at play in their town. Along the way, they encounter numerous obstacles, including the powerful Godfrey family, the Order of the Dragon (a secret society that controls the town), and supernatural beings that terrorize the town. A major theme of the show is the contrast between the rich and powerful Godfrey family and the poor and marginalized gypsy population in Hemlock Grove. Roman is torn between his loyalty to his family and his desire to be free from their controlling influence, while Peter must navigate his status as an outsider in the town and the discrimination he faces as a gypsy. Another major plotline revolves around Roman and his sister, Shelley (played by Nicole Boivin), who is a Frankenstein-like creation of their mother, Olivia (played by Famke Janssen). Shelley is shunned and feared by the people of Hemlock Grove, and her relationship with her brother is one of the most complex and compelling aspects of the show. Hemlock Grove is a visually stunning show, with hauntingly beautiful cinematography and special effects. The atmosphere is dark and moody, and the show is not afraid to be gruesome and unsettling at times. The performances from the cast are also strong, with Bill Skarsgård giving a standout performance as the conflicted and enigmatic Roman. Overall, Hemlock Grove is a unique and compelling show that blends horror, fantasy, and mystery in a way that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. With its strong performances, stunning visuals, and complex characters, it's a show that is sure to keep viewers hooked from beginning to end.
