I had a few issues (major spoilers)

The stupidity in this town is rampant. Is Bev a Jedi? It seems she's able to use it on these weak-ass people and make them believe almost anything. But that's how religious zealots work. They prey on the weak.

1. This mayor walks into a bloodbath scene. A man is dead, blood all over the floor, and a priest who's also covered in blood that is clearly the culprit. And he almost immediately buys into Bev the Bitch's idea of covering up the kill?

2. How the hell (no pun intended) does no one on this show even entertain the idea of this being a vampire. This Nosferatu-looking mofo walks into the church, and they all buy that his ugly-ass is angel that is offering ever-lasting life?

3. Even when they've all been converted, none of them are like, "Huh, I have the urge to feed on people?" At least throw out a amen before you go all postal on someone's neck.

4. I got much satisfaction out of Bev the Bitch's last sight. Her seeing the Sheriff and his son holding to their beliefs until the bitter end, when all she could do is cower and panic cause her god has abandoned her. So much for believing and being blessed.

5. These idiots stand around singing and praying while waiting to die because that's done them a world of good. Had that ever worked, they wouldn't be standing there singing and praying before they died.

I didn't know vampires could bite you and give you instantaneous youth. If so, then I've finally heard of a type of vampire I need to search out. The rules for vampires seem to change per show and Hollywood is just making up as they see fit. Very suckful on their part.

It was a pretty interesting show. But it has some long irritating dialogues and was full of stupidity. I hope Mr. Nosferatu burned up over the ocean so we don't have to see a 2nd Season.

2. Possible that vampire lore doesn't exist in this world, kinda like how in The Walking Dead show, zombie media doesn't exist.

4. Yeah, that was a very nice bookend.

Vampires are fictional creatures so they can be whatever the author wants them to be, as long as you have some of the key characteristics of course. It's not as though there's some official definition. Besides, the show toys with the idea of having there be some sort of creature that can be the source of biblical angels. It's the viewer who chooses to call these vampires, but it's like 28 days later. It's a zombie film, but clearly, rage victims aren't very similar to the usual depictions of zombies.

Mr. Nosferatu's fate is meant to be ambiguous, but Flanagan's works are typically standalone it would seem.

You summarized my thoughts pretty well.
I's like to add

2. Isn't the "can't stand the sunlight" thing a dead giveaway that something's not right? I believe most religions align goodness and righteousness with light and bad + evil with darkness... right? How comes it doesn't ring a single person's bells??
Or is this movie supposed to be taking place in some alternate universe?

I agree. They seem to never get a clue.

Are we really meant to believe there were no caves, cellars, wardrobes, containers etc where at least some of the islanders could have hidden from the sun?

Or they start digging anywhere right away. Part of me thought Bev might have successfully buried herself under the sand before she burst.

Point 3: This show is so slimy for pretending that vampires are unheard of in its universe. No one utters the word, "vampire." No one exclaims, "Oh, you mean he/she is a vampire?!" I guess the showrunners didn't want their show to be labeled as just another piece of vampire fiction.
