3.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia for Vampire Fans, Pre-Buffy, 1 Jul 2006
By Scriber_scouse "scriber_scouse" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This is a short lived tv series based on the White Wolf role playing and PC games. The Kindred are vampire society in the series comprised of 5 clans; The Ventrue, business/executive types; the Brujah ,the mob/enforcers, the Gangrel described as gangbangers with fangs, the Toreador the artisans/musicians, and the Nosferatu who are secretive and very much based on the Max Schreck vampire archetype.

This is a very interesting idea that would have made for fantastic television in the right hands. The vampire politics have more depth than most genre shows in that all 5 clans need to work together to keep the Kindred secret from the human world what they call protecting the Masquerade.

For your money you get all 8 episodes that were made for this show, including one that never aired but in terms of DVD this is a bare bones release with no extras or special features. The pilot episode of this show is dreadful largely due to the god-awful 'acting' of C. Thomas Howell and his blond love interest but grit your teeth and bear through it. Happily, C Thomas Howell doesn't have as much screentime from here on in, and the vampire politics angle comes to the fore, which is a satisfying arc.

This is a required taste; fans of the RPG game will quibble that important details where skipped over from the game, and Buffy fans may be appalled by the lack of production gloss, but if you're a vampire fan who remembers the bad old days before Underwold, Ultraviolet and Buffy and Angel, then this will be a nostalgic kick. Plus Buff and Angel fans will probably get a kick out of playing spot the extra. An entertaining series that will while away a few hours, but not a must buy for everyone.
