Finally, a return to the way vampires should be- monsters that go bump in the night rather than brooding romantic interests. If you like your vampires scary rather than sexy, this show is for you.
I adored the book series this show is based on, and it took me a couple of episodes to accept the changes that had been made. I hope this gets a second series and they delve deeper into the issues raised in the novels.

I recently re watched 30 Days of Night for the first time in years - it's not quite as good as I remember it being, but it still holds up pretty well.
The isolated, snowy setting is unsettling and reminiscent of The Thing, and when the vampires turn up, the violence is all the more shocking against the white background of Alaska.
The vampires themselves are pretty horrible (in a good way). The blacked out eyes, the demonic language they speak in, and the desire to just slaughter rather than necessarily feed, set them apart from the more romanticized vampires we've been subjected to over recent years (looking at you Twilight), and Danny Huston makes for a sinister leader.
Elsewhere, the rest of the cast are so so - I found myself not particularly caring about any of them too much. The story could have done with some more build up for sure. The feeling of dread is quickly established and almost immediately taken away when the vampires turn up 15 minutes in, reducing their initial impact.
The ending is a little silly as well, but overall, a pretty good watch for fans of horror comic books!
