It's alright. Some nice brutal moments if you're willing to put up with the sometimes mediocre acting. That old vampire guy is creepy as fuck.

That scene where the rat exterminator explores the sewer tunnels was straight out of Blade 2.

Not at all. It's free on demand. At least for Comcast Xfinity...

Idunno man. I've been watching from the beginning, and the acting is pretty laughable at certain points. I especially hate the lead actor. The show is only watchable when it decides to amp up the creepiness and gross-out moments.

Mia Maestro is pretty damn cute as the leading lady. I'm a sucker for Latina women though. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0535502/?ref_=nv_sr_1


*SPOILERS* I'm pretty happy that mopey douche from Lord of The Rings died.

*SPOILERS* The "Master" face reveal was pretty laughable. Didn't look scary at all.

The Lord of the Rings guy had a pretty lame character in this show; the wife with cancer was a distracting and redundant plot line too.

The best character of the show is the German guy...


The episode with the bitchy lawyer lady turned vampire was pretty cool. I liked how her reflection reverberated in the mirror while she was walking down the stairs.

The British hacker is an unrealistic character, no hacker has ever looked like her.

I kinda feel like the German vampire should have killed his wife for breaking their deal. That was an unresolved plot line.

I like him, the rat exterminator, and that Mexican gangbanger. German guy is definitely the best actor on the show. Was trying to remember where he's from, and then I remembered that he got his head caved in by the Bear Jew.

Stand-out scene in a pool of mediocrity. The way they filmed her made it very creepy. She was also great when the nanny was trying to get the kids away from her.

She looks like a model turned junkie. Agreed.

Another good character, the guy that heads the sinister corporation. Every time I see him, I think of him being hung out the helicopter in Scarface.

This last episode was the best so far. The vampire crawling through the hole chasing after the exterminator was so creepy.


I hope the show expands on the story line with the ghouls killing the vampires. They sorta abandoned that subplot a few episodes back.

Blessed are the murderous.

The most irritating character is the mother with Alzheimer's. A totally unnecessary character.

The Hispanic guy is funny in that he's what white people think is a gangbanger.
