calzephyrCastlevania is up to season 3 on Netflix and I'm not sure what the next season will bring. S3 is one of those awkward middle seasons where there's a lull in the story and action.
Although I knew of the Castlevania games, I really didn't know what the story was about, so season 1 was a little confusing. It assumes one knows a little about Dracula, his wife, his son, the Belmont family and Speakers.
There is a lot of action and the anime style suits it well. S2 was a nailbiter as main characters Trevor, Sypha and Alucard battle Dracula and his armies. S3, as I mentioned, was a little dull, but it focuses on the female vampires and vampires in other countries. Another thing that made S3 hard to watch was that it seemed to be entirely made of Trevor Belmont spewing insults. It was ugly to watch Alucard and Hector being abused, often gratuitously IMHO :/
