Carmilla is a supernatural web series that follows the story of Laura Hollis (Elise Bauman), a sheltered journalism student who begins investigating the disappearance of her roommate Betty. Along the way, she meets her new roommate Carmilla Karnstein (Natasha Negovanlis), an enigmatic and charming woman who holds a dark secret.

Set in the small town of Silas University, the show is a modern retelling of the classic vampire novella of the same name by Sheridan Le Fanu. Unlike traditional vampire tropes, however, the show features a diverse cast of characters and explores themes of identity, sexuality, and family.

Laura, the protagonist, is a naive and innocent character who is curious about the world beyond her own. She is an ambitious young journalist, determined to uncover the truth behind the strange events happening on campus. Laura's character represents modern-day college students' curiosity and eagerness to investigate complicated matters.

Carmilla, on the other hand, is a mysterious and alluring character with a troubled past. She is a vampire who feeds off of other people's blood, but Laura is unaware of this fact. Carmilla is witty, charismatic, and at times sarcastic. Despite her dark nature, Carmilla becomes an ally to Laura in her search for answers. The tension between the two characters intensifies throughout the show's three seasons, culminating in several emotional and dramatic moments.

Annie Briggs plays the role of Perry, a bubbly and compassionate student who quickly becomes one of Laura's best friends. Perry always knows what to say to uplift Laura's spirits and provides a reassuring presence throughout the show. She is a self-proclaimed romantic with a penchant for the supernatural.

As the three women investigate Betty's disappearance, they discover a larger and more dangerous conspiracy at work. They soon realize that Silas University is not what it seems, and that powerful forces are working to keep the truth hidden. Along the way, Laura learns about her own family's role in the conspiracy, and Carmilla confronts the demons of her past.

The show's themes of identity and sexuality are portrayed through the characters' relationships. Laura is initially attracted to her male suitemate Danny, but her growing feelings for Carmilla complicate her emotions. Carmilla, on the other hand, has a complex relationship with her human ex-girlfriend who thrives on manipulative and toxic behavior. Perry's love interest, a brilliant scientist named LaFontaine, is portrayed as genderqueer, adding an extra layer of diversity to the show's cast.

The show's set design and cinematography are a testament to Fullscreen's commitment to quality production. The show's use of practical effects and eerie lighting creates a creepy and eerie atmosphere, fitting for a show with supernatural elements. The show's soundtrack is composed of indie pop songs, adding an upbeat vibe to the show's more intense moments.

In conclusion, Carmilla is a unique and groundbreaking show that explores the complexities of identity and sexual orientation in a supernatural setting. The show's strong writing, direction, and acting make it an addictive watch that will leave viewers eager for more. Despite only running for three seasons, the show has gained a cult following since its release in 2014 and remains a relevant work for modern audiences.
