Lacks the ambiance, pace, snark, humour and wit of other vampire shows. I'm talking about the classics of the genre like True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and Being Human (UK ofc). The pacing is off, they get together too fast, sometimes there's no action other times there's too much. The direction seems to be off, the atmosphere is fine but not enticing enough in spite of the gorgeous cinematography. Also, the casting is weird... Matthew Goode is not sexy or vampiric enough, Teresa is just kind of meh and the rest of the cast don't work together for some reason. But it's watchable, will check out next season.
