I am not really a fan of drama or fantasy show, I'm more into thriller or actions kinda thing. Never read any of the books no offence.. But, this one was such a wonderful series, a very attention to the details, set productions designs are incredibly beautiful ! plus there's some dark, thriller vibe romances of course.. Leading by Matthew Goode, perfect choice as a vampire, ah, he's freaking hot, charming, you can't take your eyes away from him...giving his incredible performances with Teresa Palmer. Season 1 was the best, pilot ep & final ep are outstanding.. Season 2 a bit slow but still episode 6 with guest starring James Purefoy are the best cause it's beautiful & heartbreaking.. I can't wait to see more seasons to come ! Overall well worth watching
