10 Reasons You Should Watch Castlevania Season 4

The strength of Castlevania's writing is undeniable, with Warren Ellis's thoughtful, nuanced, surprisingly hilarious and remarkably mature take on the lore making what many thought impossible - a high quality, top notch video game adaptation.

For all that the series has become known for its amazing action spectacles, there are moments in this series that are simply dialogue between two or more characters. They're thoughtful and hit deep, with philosophies explored that aren't often seen in other series, discussing the nature of existence in ways that give dimension to the decisions each character makes.

Isaac in particular is one of the most beloved characters in the series, with his story one of self-discovery and self-actualisation, satisfying even when a good chunk of it was just him talking his thoughts over with others.

The series's dialogue overall is unique in that it can tackle deeply thoughtful concepts while also having godlike beings cuss and be crass and undignified. The finale, though it had the unenviable task of closing multiple stories in a way that was satisfying, did a remarkable job making each ending feel earned and largely satisfying - sticking the landing in ways much bigger titles failed to before it.
