Premiering exclusively on ShowX this fall, Love Sucks is a darkly comedic, bloody, and heartbreakingly real look at senior year—where the only thing more terrifying than the SATs is falling for a 200-year-old creature of the night. The series follows Luna Flores (played by rising star Alisha Ray), a cynical punk-rock outcast and true-crime podcaster at Darkwood High. While trying to expose a local cult, she accidentally interrupts a ritual and ends up bound to Silas Vane ( newcomer Kai Ashworth), a devastatingly handsome vampire who has spent two centuries trying to break a curse that prevents him from feeling human emotion.

New episodes drop every Friday. Are you Team Silas or Team Bianca? Let us know in the comments—and please, no wooden stakes in the chat.

The twist? The curse isn’t broken by love. It’s broken by embarrassment .

The first three episodes (available now on ShowX) lean heavily into the "curse of embarrassment." Episode 2, "Prom of the Dead," features a sequence where Silas tries to slow-dance but accidentally trips over Luna’s Doc Martens, turns into a bat, and gets stuck in the punch bowl. It is unapologetically stupid, utterly charming, and surprisingly tender. If you are looking for brooding shadows and epic monologues about the agony of eternity, look elsewhere. But if you want a series that captures the absolute cringe and ecstasy of first love —where "love sucks" isn't a complaint, but a diagnosis—then sink your teeth into Love Sucks .

Forget Twilight. Forget The Vampire Diaries. Just when you thought the undead genre had been staked through the heart, ShowX sinks its teeth into a fresh corpse with Love Sucks , the 2023 Original series that is redefining "toxic relationships" for Gen Z.
