    Personally, I've had about enough of vamps, even the moody Mitchell, but George can be a sweetie and Annie's irresistible, especially when she's making tea that she can't drink for dozens of people who never stop by. If you're already home on a Saturday night, why not spend time with a girl who probably needs to get out even more than you do?

    This show is shocking in all the right ways. It's monstrously entertaining.

This show doesn't takeThis is a fun new television series from the BBC network. It is smart, but the characters interesting yet vulnerable. This show doesn't take itself too seriously but provides good entertainment with the creatures that we love most: a Vampire, a Werewolf, and a Ghost. Season 1 is good, but the end of Season 1 and transition to Season 2 shows real promise, as the show gets better over time and as the characters develop.… Full Review »
