I thought the first episode was pretty good. Great production values and a great cast.

My only real concern is the vampires were complete push overs for their master being an ancient creature from the egyptian age. I guess it's supposed to show that the humans are bad asses, but the monsters might need to be established as a bigger threat for the long term. I guessed that the doctor was Frankenstein pretty much from the first time we saw him based on trailers. Looking forward to next week. | ||

It was interesting, but some of the accents were hard for me to understand, particularly the whore that Ethan Chandler (the american) was talking to. The appearance of Dorian Gray could be interesting, he is clearly based on the character from The Picture of Dorian Gray, so looks like they are trying to get as many classical monsters as they can in the show. Not sure what to think about what happened to Proteus at the end. I'm not sure I caught everything that was said at the séance either, but it seems that it was Sir Malcom's son she was channelling? Apparently, he left his son Peter behind to die a horrible death from dysentry while Sir Malcolm went off on one of his expeditions. “Name a mountain after me, father,” pleads the possessed Vanessa, and judging by the look on Sir Malcolm’s face, that’s not a promise he ever kept. The acting by Green was pretty remarkable. | ||

Personally, I loved all three episodes so far - for a new show that's rarely the case, normally shows struggle quite a bit with being interesting, while introducing all the characters etc., imo. Beside the great stories the show's based on (I love all this Victorian Gothic Literature :-P ), I think the overall production value is insanely high. And I hope the show's gonna be successful... Mainly because I think the show has been quite expensive... | ||

I'm interested to see what is going on with Frankenstein's monster as it is certainly a different take from the typical. I suspect that Ethan Chandler (the American) is the one shredding the bodies, and he is "the american werewolf in London". He woke up with marks on his hands in episode 2, and then seemed to talk to the wolves in episode 3. Also interesting that Mina, is Mina Harker, meaning they are likely trying to find Dracula. | ||

Yes, that was my thinking even before last episode. It was just confirmed with the scene in the Zoo. | ||

On s2 premiere: A bit disappointed we seem to head straight back into Ives being hunted for Lucifer by what thus far seems to be another gang of vampiric/demonic girls. They need to twist this so it's not just s1 all over again. And I for one hope we do get to see a manifestation of a more supreme evil than what these underlings are -- let the devil play some more ~. Also, is Ethan just being cryptic about his condition, or does he genuinely not know what he really is? I'd say the former is more likely. Wonder what Dorian Gray's role in this season will be.. | ||
