    'Hemlock Grove' worth seeing

    “Hemlock Grove” centers around frenemies Peter Rumancek, played by “Degrassi’s” Landon Liboiron, and Roman Godfrey, portrayed by Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård. By the end of season one, only a little bit of the storyline has resolved. The show’s reviews are split between those who find it to be interesting and those who absolutely hate it.

    Season one focuses on Peter and his nomadic lifestyle with his mother Lynda as they move to Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania. Peter is a brooding teenager and his mother is the hippie mom everyone wished they had.

    Peter’s foil is the equally smoldering, mysterious Roman Godfrey, heir to the Godfrey Institute for Biomedical Technologies.

    The monster storyline is one of the only arcs semi-resolved by the end of the first season. Season two is now available on Netflix, and it’s just as weird as the first. Whether you hate it or love it, “Hemlock Grove” is the train wreck that leaves 
one confused, but still wanting more, an ideal combination for chilly October.
