Extra Details: Can someone please delete episode 37 (called "The Christmas Special: "The Gingerbread Affair"") from "Season I":

This episode is a special and does not belong to "Season I"! I just created a season called "Specials" and added this Christmas Special to it:

Both IMDb and tvdb also put this special at the end of "Season I" - but that's not correct. Here are a few reasons why:

1.) You can watch the whole series on Youtube -> for every season there's a playlist -> the playlist of "Season I" consists of 36 episodes without the Christmas Special:

2.) Episode 36, which was uploaded on YouTube on December 2, 2014, contains a full list of credits for the cast/crew of "Season I" (the credits start at 4:03 min):

The Christmas Special aired 3 weeks later on December 24, 2014, and doesn't contain any credits at all. But on January 13th, 2015, they uploaded a BTS called "On The Set of the Christmas Special" on the same channel with the cast credits and a few of the crew credits:

Comparing episode 36 and the Christmas Special, we have:

• a slightly different cast,
• a slightly different crew,
• a completely different set,
• a completely different camera work.

Also, if I remember correctly, the Christmas Special was shot weeks/months later than "Season I" because of the success of the show.

3.) Besides YouTube, you can also watch the series (except for "Season Zero") on fullscreen -> 108 episodes, 3 seasons á 36 episodes -> "Season I" does not contain the "Christmas Special":

4.) On their official website, the main production company of the series, Shaftesbury, advertises the show as follows:

"An irreverent, mysterious dramedy for millennials, Carmilla (108 x four-minutes) is a scripted transmedia series that puts a modern spin on the cult classic gothic vampire novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu."

Again, 108 episodes in total, 3 seasons á 36 episodes (Shaftesbury did not produce "Season Zero") - not counting the "Christmas Special".

That's why ... :-)
