4/10
Excellent....until season 3

This was a 10/10 until I just watched season 3. I must say what a disappointment. Its taking a show that started with a comical perspective on some of the darker things in our minds...and ends season 3 with all the class of a cheap soap opera? The final episode was just awful! Obviously constructed off-the-cuff with no thought whatsoever. It was as if they made it up as they went. The best part was....killing an attacking werewolf with a kitchen knife?...come on...it wasn't even silver! I think reducing Mitchell to babbling fool was another mistake, he was the pivotal character in the whole series, with a depth and dimension unmatched by any other character in the story. His conflicted personality is a great touch, but to reduce a 100+ year old vampire to that level over love is to be quite honest, ridiculous. This is supposed to be a supernatural thriller, not a 'Days of Our Lives' competitor. Annie adds to the program with her illogical and irritating behavior, George and Ninas characters however just show a lack of any common sense or perspective. I can see what the writers are trying to achieve with 'monsters' trying to maintain morality, but they fail dismally as their opinions and actions lack any kind of connection with reality.
