It\u2019s so sweet and funny and warm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Premiering Friday (June 10), \u201cFirst Kill\u201d is based on a short story by V. E. Schwab and follows teenage vampire Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook, \u201cAmerican Crime Story\u201d), who sets her sights on new girl Calliope (Lewis) when it\u2019s time to make her first kill. It\u2019s a move that will help her come of age in her vampire family, which is helmed by her mom Margot (Elizabeth Mitchell, \u201cLost\u201d) and dad Sebastian (Will Swenson). Juliette, however, doesn\u2019t realize that Calliope isn\u2019t a regular human \u2014 she\u2019s a hunter from a family of monster slayers along with her mother Talia (Aubin Wise) and dad Jack (Jason R. Moore, \u201cThe Punisher.\u201d) For her part, Calliope has also been encouraged to make her first kill. Matters become even more complicated when these two enemies who are supposed to kill each other begin to fall for each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-106.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Calliope (Imani Lewis), left, and Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) right, stand next to each other looking serious. \" class=\"wp-image-22523673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-106.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-106.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-106.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Calliope (Imani Lewis), left, and Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook) right, are star-crossed vamp and slayer in \u201cFirst Kill.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-103.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Imani Lewis embraces and kisses Sarah Catherine Hook. \" class=\"wp-image-22523697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-103.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-103.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-103.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Complicated crush: monster slayer Calliope (Imani Lewis) romances vampire Juliette (Sarah Catherine Hook), right, in \u201cFirst Kill.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Brian Douglas\/Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-101.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Imain Lewis and Sarah Catherine Hook hold hands while standing near a fire outside. \" class=\"wp-image-22523765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-101.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-101.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/first-kill-imani-lewis-101.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Calliope (Imani Lewis), left, with Julliette (Sarah Catherine Hook), right. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Brian Douglas\/Netflix<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That last part is how \u201cFirst Kill\u201d stands out from other entries in the crowded bloodthirsty genre, said Lewis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat makes this story unique is that it\u2019s two queer teenage girls.
