Kindred: The Embraced

Oh hush. Jeff Kober's sensitive Nosferatu was exactly who I thought of the other day when Cindy mentioned changes the Master was undergoing.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sahjahn-guy played a sheriff very recently on House as well.

Reenactment is not the magic called for in that particular situation. ::slamsbookofshadowsshutwithauthority::
Exactly!

Y'know, I've never actually watched the show. I had (okay, have ) so much baggage about the parent IP for that show that I just haven't been able to bring myself to watch. Should I?

It was romantic at the time. Pretty laughable now, only in comparison to all the various vamplore that's come after it. I liked the main actor, and the patriarch--who was Sidney on The Pretender. The interclan squabbles were fun. It ended in just about the right place, before the scripts veered from grand opera to soap opera, I think.
There definitely were some grand romantic notions, which I enjoyed. It's probably worth a rental and a once-through, only 12-13 episodes, as I recall.
I loved the Jack Davenport, Idris Elba Brit Ultraviolet, too, for a one-eighty POV of vampires from Kindred.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It has some good acting (and hysterically bad acting—hello, C. Thomas Howell!), and the art direction & cinematography are pretty lush. But it suffers VERY badly from pretentious clunky dialogue, made even worse if you're aware of the gamespeak behind it.

So I'll giggle so much that I risk hyperventilating? Good to know.

But the lead was very attractive.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I really hope we get more of a reason that Sam wasn't infected than that "he's not as much of a dick as Dean"
Because if both boys were infected that would be the end of the show?

I love Kindred for Mark Frankel. He was beautiful and effective in the role. Yes, there is much at which to roll one's eyes, but it's fun. Plus, we get Bridget Brannagh who played Wesley's daughter-o-demon girlfriend on Angel.
eta: I watch it on youtube.
