It's one of these series that lie to you. It starts very promising, with a serious topic, realistic characters and beautiful shots. And then by the fourth episode you realise that it's been 'based on books'. The approx. 30 years old professor becomes damsel in distress that falls at (almost) first sight in love with a vampire and totally forgets her own identity. And then there are few extremely awkward scenes in the ruins that were so painfully lifted up from the Twilight's fanfic written by a 12-year old. All in all our heroine after leaving Oxford transforms from being 30 to15. The true Fountain of Youth.

The only light side of this disaster is that I can feel that they respected the book's author. In episode 6 I just can see copy-paste at every scene.

6 episodes in, and I have not an inkling of an idea what the daemons are. And after scenes with Agatha and Sophie (?) I feel that the author has no idea either. Not even starting with this abstract scene where they teleport between cuts (scenes) when talking.

And to be fair I couldn't really accept Matthew Goode as an 'Irresistibly smoking hot male lead'. Personal preferences, but still...
