Dexter

Rating: *****

Genre: Police, Serial Killer
Episodes: 49 (And counting)
Cast: Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, Julie Benz, Lauren Vélez

"During the day, Dexter Morgan is a jovial employee in the Miami Metropolitan Police Department's crime lab, but his meticulously crafted life masks his true nature. In reality Dexter is a disciplined and murderous psychopath (a self-admitted "monster"), and he slakes his blood lust at night by carefully killing the serial killers he tracks down during the day. Based on the novels (Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dearly Devoted Dexter and Dexter in the Dark) by Jeff Lindsay." Written by Clenching Teeth Toast Guy

Although I have yet to watch all the seasons yet, I am hooked. What's better than gore & mystery? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! The storyline, acting, and script are all amazing so far. The show will probably go sour eventually (as every story has it's ending), but so far it is going strong.

True Blood

Rating: (I don't think I should be rating this)

Genre: Vampires, Drama
Episodes: 30 (And counting)
Cast: Anna Paquin, Ryan Kwanten, Rutina Wesley, Stephen Moyer, Sam Trammell, and Nelsan Ellis

"Following the creation of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is a telepath and waitress at Merlotte's in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, owned by Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), a shapeshifter—though this secret is kept hidden. One night, Sookie meets Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old vampire who has returned to Bon Temps following the death of his last remaining relative. As she cannot hear his thoughts, she finds it easy to be in his company and, over the first season, the two become romantically involved."

I watched the first season so far and I'm still on the fence about it. For me, blood and gore are my favorite parts of any vampire film. I think that's why I remained interested throughout the first season. As far as it goes, I wouldn't let anyone under 18 watch this. There is a lot of violence and stuff in it that isn't appropriate for younger viewers. I don't know how much I really like the story though. I love how it was filmed, and the story is interesting enough, but I don't know if I would ever praise it. I'll have to watch season 2 and see how it goes :D

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Rating: ****

Genre: Vampires, Romance
Episodes: 144?
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, Alyson Hannigan, Anthony Head, James Marsters

"At the young age of 16, Buffy was chosen to hunt vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness. After the ordeal at Hemery High Buffy Summers wound up at Sunnydale High. Joined with Willow Rosenberg and Alexander "Xander" Harris, and her watcher Giles, Buffy fights the challenges of High School and saves the world...a lot." Written by Sundae

As a rabid vampire fan, I really did enjoy this series even though there are some parts of it that weren't as per the mythology. However, if it wasn't for the amazing side cast I would probably not continued to watch the whole series. Nicholas Brendon and Alyson Hannigan did really well in their supporting roles, and I loved Alyson's character. Also, James Marsters' character (Spike) was one of my favorites. Although I don't want to include spoilers, you'll see that he becomes a main character. Spike always made the show entertaining.
