I just finished S1. I did not like in introduction of the Vamp FBI or whatever that was. Why didn't they burn or explode the casket / cabinet in the finale? Did they explain why the old man can hear the master?

this show really only works if you don't think about anything at all whatsoever

excuse me, but it is the VBI, thank you.

I hated the intro too. They just kind of left it hanging there, then showed 4 more episodes, then said, "wait until next season to see who they are".

I'm only watching season two until they tell me who these VBI guys are.

it's mostly just characters behaving like complete dumbshits and failing to accomplish everything they try because of narrative contrivance. the fact that those morons
Spoiler: show
couldn't manage to kill the big vamp guy in the finale was final nail in the coffin for me

Yes, I really don't like when shows/movies have to make the characters retarded to advance the plot.

This show was atrocious in season 1, I'm actually really looking forward to how crap it will be going forward.

TV to laugh at.
