Is anyone else watching?

What do you think? I'm a little underwhelmed so far, I think I was expecting something with the depth of Mad Men, but this is more like a bigger budget Buffy. The theme tune's great though...

dunno not sure I'm still intrigued by it, have only got so far as the g/f decided it was crap compared to the books & won't watch them anymore... gunna transfer the rest to my phone (Series 1&2 are on the net) and see how I feel about it.

Yeah it's basically Buffy with added sex and violence. I've seen all 26 episodes and it gets better as it goes on so I would suggest you persevere. Not seen mad men but if it's serious drama you're after I doubt this will satisfy.

Thanks to Shazam, the theme tune is Bad Things by Jace Everett and it's on iTunes.

😀 Does it get better when watched on a tiny screen with poor sound?

you obviously have a crap phone coffeeking, mine has a great picture (watched lots of action movies on it) and I have decent headphones.
Can you guess what phone I have?

BTW apparently the King lives (so says the g/f from reading the books)

I don't whether the sexy southern accent is helping but i'm finding Ms Paquin to be disturbingly hot - i remember her as that annoying kid in The Piano fer gawdsake!

Yup, i twigged her boss is some sort of shapeshifter/werewolf/animist thingy too.

Yes, I do have a crap phone, but that has no bearing on the fact that watching a show on a 3" screen through headphones is not *quite* the same as on a widescreen TV with a decent sound system, in any sane persons book. If I were looking to see if I could improve my journey to work I'd buy a ferrari instead of the 306, not go on the train 🙂

That is disturbing, she's a pig! and gets progressivly more piggy as the series progresses, i think it's the eyebrows. The God sqad girl that gets turned into a vampire is a pot of sauce thou. I'm holding out for some boob shots of her at some point!

Seen both the 1st and 2nd series.

1st series is much better than the 2nd.

Same with most of these type of things mind, I actually enjoyed Lost for a few episodes oh and Heros too.

Each to their own and all that but i cetainly wouldn't cast Ms Paquin as a pig!
Great ass and boobs and a seriously hot wiggle!

Mind you, the black girl is seriously sexy as well.

The Ginge (Jesica) is by far the hotest but that's series 2 I think.
