- Tense, dark and gritty.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 43 minutes, about 11 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
- Critics were cooler on it than audiences.
Mick St. John is a captivating, charming and immortal private investigator from Los Angeles, who defies the traditional blood-sucking norms of his vampire tendencies by using his wit and powerful supernatural abilities to help the living.
