I had never heard or seen anything related to this, I was bored and caught up with the shows I usually watch - gave this one a go assuming it was probably a true blood / other vampire based TV show that "may" be watchable but probably not worth following. Instead I was sucked in, I watched the next two episodes and told a friend this might be worth checking it out (having seen and recommended shows like breaking bad/game of thrones/lost etc. before they were out of season 1). He mentioned the movie and it sounded like a remake, he said to watch it - that I would enjoy it etc.. I watched it and thought it was DOG S* compared to this, I don't care if it had Clooney or Marin in it (lol Marin... the definition of a "token" stereotyped character) - the movie has nothing on this show. Everything the movie built up to and failed to realize (not just bad SFx) this TV series is fleshing out and continuing further in a day and age when sex/gore/technical effects has progressed.
It's a good show, if you're a die hard fan or someone that's never seen it you won't regret it.
