Bought this set based on some (questionable)advice from an Amazon reviewer. It turns out the series has little or no blood-letting and mostly just long conversations between warring clans of vampires. Its a wonderful Vampire Soap Opera, but is it horror? NO. Suspensful? No. Awesome special effects? No. Great vampire make-up? No. I just kept waiting for something cool to happen and before you know it, your done watching tape #3 and nothing ever happens! C. Thomas Howell is completely awful in his role as the meddling detective, Mark Frankel does great as a "Duncan Maccleoud-like" leader of the vampires, and the girl from Seaquest, as Lillie, is really hot, but hardly ever written into the script. What a waste of talent! After all these years she looks GREAT. Anyway, if youre a chick that loves vampire drama, and lots of TALK about something going to happen (but never gets around to happening)and lots of vampire rumors and gossiping and backstabbing and love affairs between mortals and the vamps, then buy this set. If youre a dude looking for lots of blood or hot vampire chicks biting other chicks, go to the video store and rent something Recommendable vampire movies: Blade2, Underworld 1 & 2, Dracula (1979), Bram Stokers Dracula, The Hunger. Try these instead.Read full review
I love good vampire shows and this is a good one, most of the vampires trying to fit into the world of humans without humans knowing what they are. Odd but it worked for a story line, the cop who founds out the truth because he loves a vampire woman who dies and then the cop becomes friends with the vampire that ordered her killed for telling the cop about the vampires. The vampires are all ruled by a Prince of the City they live in. The different types of vampires was a surprise twist to the story. I had seen this tv series years ago on tv and always wondered how it ended and it ended all right. If you like vampire stories, this is a must see show.
This is one series that you just could not get enough of. The action was great as was the acting. The more you watched the more you wanted. With Mark Frankel's death the show just would not be the same. It was a joy to watch.
