The series is unusual, interesting and, although sometimes frustrating, has always bounced back in the right direction at the end.<br />The first was the impression of a horror/mystery series. The series was very dark, and one monster was more ferocious and bloodthirsty than the other.<br />Daliye started to introduce more of a plot, family values, love of father for sons and brothers for father and each other, self-sacrifice, fighting evil for the sake of others, I really liked it, and I just fell in love with the main characters.<br />From the second season onwards, the series has become exactly how we all love it. Fun, adventurous, with elements of mysticism, sci-fi, a terrific plot and a slight horror atmosphere from time to time, but it just emphasises situations rather than becoming the main one.<br />And you know, after seasons 8-10 it felt like that was it. Everyone was defeated, the devil was defeated, the apocalypse was stopped, super-uber monsters were slapped down and it seemed there was nowhere else to go, but time after time the scriptwriters found the very plot twist for which they wanted to skip time and see a new season.<br />And so the final season 15 is over, and there is a feeling of understatement in the soul. Like everything was, all logical and it should be. BUT it feels more like the series creators didn't finish the finale. Until the last few episodes I believed the ending would be awesome and what I got was something twisted out of thin air. Too bad, I won't give it a high score because of the ending.<br />So upset that I started playing [redacted], what to do now?<br /><br /><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\"><span style=\"color:#ff0000;\">Mod-edit: Link removed.
