I know, I know, many compare this with the original 2008 movie, and yes, they're different. If you need to dissect both, you can. Even though both versions share several elements (the most important been the central love story between the vampire-girl and a boy which suffered bullying from other boys), you immediately need to understand the big difference: one is a movie (an excellent one by the way), and the other is a TV Show (also excellent in my opinion). Drama, love, not much gore (only the needed for the story to adds up). The acting in general is good (some better than others), the script is excellent, not only showing the story, the conflict between the need and the moral of a father to keep her daughter alive. 9 Episodes so far (and waiting for the last one). It's true that the first two were not probably as appealing as the followings, maybe because the writers needed to establish the story (actually, an important piece is shown latter). All in all, I think is worth watching it. And that been said, although I really think is a really good show, and I'm expecting to see news of renewal, not sure if keeping my hopes high will be good enough. These kind of shows (thrillers, good scripts, quality, etc), usually tend to "not been renewed" in favor of others more commercials ones (with teens, romance, sex, emotional conflicts and any other element basically consumed by teens). This one have something different: quality. I really hope for at least a 2nd season.
