This show is a lot of fun. I particularly enjoyed James Marsters as a guest star. I think season 2 was better than season one as well, but the whole show is worth watching if you are willing to relax and enjoy it for what it is.

This first season was terrible. Eric E's earlier review hits on pretty much every point I think needs to be made about the show and the Newark Star-Ledger's review puts it in perfectly concise terms. I'm not sure the show was created as an agenda pusher, but I'm pretty sure every character in the show is gay/bi and that's just ridiculously hard to believe (also makes it hard to believe it's not an agenda pushing show, but I digress). The biggest tragedy of the season was how they spend several episodes building up the "big bad" for the last episode and it's solved quickly and in a MOST unfulfilling manner. The only episode I liked this season was the one that had nothing supernatural going on (Countrycide, I believe).

I love this show and hope they don't take it off the air. It's raw, dark, sexy and completely origional, as are the characters.
