Two vampires that go back and forth between being good and evil. Throw in a "good" witch, werewolves, ghosts, and other demons. Then add a main female lead that takes turns loving and hating the two vampires, and what do you have? Buffy, Angel, Spike, & Willow or Elena, Stefan, Damon & Bonnie. Add some additional "supporting roles" in the guise of friends, and what do you get? "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer", "The Vampire Diaries" and other wannabees, such as "Twilight", "Being Human", "Underworld", and more. Then throw in some odds & ends (more similarities) with "Eureka!", a bit of "The Grunge" and "The Ring" and you basically end up with one show with different titles. "Buffy" was okay, "Twilight", and especially "The Vampire Diaries" were a little better. And it all culminated with a big let-down in "The Gates". Don't waste your time with the last one. "The Gates" only lasted one season, and tried to encompass the main plot points of all the others in that short time span.
... View MoreI remember hearing about this show back in 2010 but never watched it, and I'm bummed, but glad I watched it on NETFLIX because I wouldn't be able to wait every week. This show has an amazing cast and story line. It wasn't the show itself, that was the reason it got canceled. Either the time slot or promoting, but I loved this show. Awesome characters, suspense, just all out fun. So many cool stories going on. If Netflix picked this up or someone continued this even by adding a R Rating, this would blow up! I can't believe there's not a second season, but fantastic one season. There are so many ways you could take this to the next season. I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent cast of Rhona Mitra, Frank Grillo, and some newcomers. You must watch this show if you are reading the review. You will not be disappointed. There are hot people all over, but no nudity, which is fine. it doesn't really call for it. I guarantee you will keep watching.
... View MoreI hate to see it is over, I was just getting into the whole show. It was something different and I wish it could continue. I was just getting my husband to watch with me. Blasted!!Poor Charlie, he is stuck like that forever and Devon got away with all her bad behavior. And Sara needed to let Nick do his job.I liked how Emily already knew that her parents were Vampires, Kids are so smart.I loved Clares part, she is a tough cookie.It just about broke my heart when Mr Buckley was ready to be turned and then his wife died trying, he really loved her and Devon just couldn't handle it, she had to mess it up with witchcraft. Well, I hope another series comes out soon. Thanks while it lasted.
... View More1.my friend is a vampire fanatic and hates Twilight because of how they make "vampires" or cold ones look, but she loves this show 2.This show makes it seem like your neighbors could be vampires! This is the only vampire show i watch because it has so many different characters and so much crazy stuff happens. 3.I know some people stopped watching once they saw a vampire out in the sun but if they stuck around to watch the rest they would know why she was able to be out in the sun (lotion/sunscreen type of thing) and that she does get burned by the sun if she is not careful. 4.Love that they have a Succubus and it's not just WW and VAMPS. Spirit, witches, girl with no heart....ah it is rich in characters finally something that is truly different. 5. I'm going to be sad if it is canceled because it is one of the best and doesn't just focus on vampires.
