Even if only for a few seasons this will work because there are too many Buffy and Angel fans, myself included, that have been clamoring for another vampire show. Any time you have a vampire show you run this risk of similarity, just like with every vampire movie or novel out there. It's par for the course.

It sounds to me like the show is going to be stripping away a lot of the mythology that previous shows have forged themselves with, Angel and Buffy included. Why not have a show that puts a modern twist on things instead of the usual 150+ year old doomed vampire. Why not your average every day guy who just happens to get a little fangy. Where Angel was steeped in magic and folklore I believe this show is going to have a nice modern edge. If anything I feel this show is going to run along the lines of Kindred: The Embraced if anyone actually still remembers a show that only ran for 8 episodes and was in no means close to high tech.

I also don't believe that this this will resemble Blade. For the young ones out there, Blade was based on a comic book hero and the tv show based horribly on the movies instead of the comic book.

I have high hopes for this show but even if it doesn't succeed and I fully believe that it will then it will live in my video library right alongside my copies of Kindred, Blade, Forever Knight, Angel, Buffy and Dark Shadows.
