I absolutely love this show, even though I’m not a particular fan of vampires. I see here that it got a lot of bad reviews, but Being Human got a slew of good ones and I loathe that show, so it’s all a matter of taste. Some of the acting might be improved on, and although Jeremy can be annoying none if it is groan-worthy. Ian Summerholder is wonderful as Damon, and I love the dark tone to the show. I see the San Francisco Chronicle was not at all impressed with the scripts, but I’m not watching it in the interest of tearing it apart and don’t watch much TV to compare it to, so I found every episode to be great. I like the fact that the vampires look like vampires and behave like vampires-they drink human blood, don’t sparkle, can’t be out in the sun without supernatural aid, die by staking, and actually have fangs. I also like how they are vulnerable to vervain, as it gives the humans a fighting chance.
