Anyone watching and if so, do you like it?  I watched the first 10 minutes of the first ep and I had to turn it off due to getting pulled away.

Uh I completey disagree on the stupid comment. I think it is an awesome show and a very refreshing taking on vampire lore.

I have it DVR'ed. I have been enjoying the back-to-back-to-back viewing of shows lately so I may let this one sit a while longer and rattle off a few in a row.


I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

The effects are good for tv and some interesting concepts but the script/dialogue/acting are all pretty bad. I'm not complaining, better than a middle of the road show where everything is decent but nothing stands out as interesting.

I don't think the acting, script, or dialogue have been bad. What in particulat is your complaint?<br /><br />I don't really like Sean Astin, but other than him I think the acting has been fine.

Everyone seems to be overacting. Very hammy but maybe that's what they're going for. Could be a case of me not being adjusted to their tone yet.

The stuff with F's wife and new boyfriend is something that sticks out.
