Is it for me?
Horror fans who like classic monsters sharing one story will settle in, especially if they enjoy gloom with a streak of camp. Sir Malcolm tells the gunslinger not to be amazed by anything he sees as they enter a vampire's lair, and the show keeps testing that. Eva Green plays Vanessa poker-faced and subtle, and the whole cast circles her.
Before you start
Give the first few episodes room, since the opening is slow to hand out plot, and season three loses some pace after season two.
3 seasons, 27 episodes, 60 min each, about 27 hours so far
