    Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

    This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

    I found this gem on Amazon Prime. I am so happy that I stumbled across it and that Amazon Prime has such interesting cross referencing of people, directors and shows. Season 1 was good. Good characters, funny lines, great actors and hilarious camera angles. Kids would love this show. My son and I watched the first few episodes. He lost interest and I devoured the rest of the seasons.Season 2 was great. The actors really came into their own. I knew going in that there were 5 seasons. I think that if I had found this show (and was able to access it in America) in 2006-7 I would have been very sadden for such a long hiatus. Season 3 does not appoint. Although I got to go from Season 2 finale to Season 3 opener in 2 seconds flat, Season 3 is by far my favorite. Bad Vlad is amazing. It had me laughing the entire time. I know that it wasn't really meant to be so comedic but knowing where they were and seeing Vlad so disturbing was needed in the show. Season 4 is great and my second favorite. Malik is a fun addition.Season 5 is a waste of opportunities. The weakness of Vlad and the buffoonery that encompasses the Count is irritating to say the least. When Renfield is your favorite character of the season, you know something went wrong in the writing room. I am glad that everything was tied up in a nice little bow so I don't have to be sad not knowing what happened to the characters.

    Seasons 1 & 5I added this comment because I was surprised no one else has mentioned this yet on IMDb -- or maybe I missed it.I really enjoyed seasons 2, 3 & 4. Season 1 was too "kiddie" and season 5 was really disappointing. The writers had clearly run out of ideas after the good ending to season 4. In the last season, they kept coming up with more and more over-the-top problems and issues that were inconsistent with the canon established earlier in the show. I was most annoyed by two things: the improbable plot points and the lame way they portrayed the Count as the show progressed. He went from being a sometimes humorous, yet powerful, figure to a cowardly oaf on par with Renfield. I just don't get how the the importance of that character was dismissed over time, even if the show's focus was on Vlad. Same thing with Ingrid. The opportunity to slowly develop her character in interesting ways was squandered. They regularly referenced sexism but never really addressed it. She *kinda* gets what she wants at the end but still at the behest of a man, and not even a vampire. That was ridiculous. In so many instances Vlad's development simply didn't make sense. The main characters were performed very well by the actors. Keith-Lee Castle was exceptional as the Count (even though his comedic talents were severely abused), Simon Ludders was excellent as Renfield. He managed to make sense of a character who wasn't very clear in the show. (e.g. How is he a complete idiot and a exceptional genius at everything?) The younger actors, Gerran Howell and Clare Thomas were great and really grew into their roles despite the inconsistencies in the writing. If you haven't watched the show yet, I'd recommend "powering through"season one (if you're older, it's fine for kids) and watch to the end of season 4. *Skip the last season.* You'll just get frustrated. They jump so many sharks, they should re-title it: "Young Seaworld." I'd love to see the series get another pass though. This might be one of the *few* instances where an American remake my do it some good but only if it's on par with say, the US remake of House of Cards. We need some good young vamp stories on screen. (And yes, despite the deep flaws, still better than Twilight. lol)

    a nice comedy series about a too old subject. smart, amusing, reflecting cultural references and using the long tradition about the exotic stranger who looks be the ordinary citizen, it is a pretty entertainment and that virtue is not small. because, in a society who transforms the vampires in a cool trend, this children series represents a kind of oasis , for the fine irony, for the alternative story and for the reflection of the needs and expectations of young Dracula in middle of his strange family. a film adapted to young public with humor and the spirit of old good comedy spirit. and that fact is the good point. short, a real good series.for entire family, about a classic theme in new terms, with a clever script and good acting.

    this is a really good TV series about a young vampire who doesn't really want to be a vampire, his closest friend is a breather (human), it is aimed at children and teenagers but due to its layered story lines it can also appeal to adults, the BBC have however stopped making the series and have left series 2 on a huge cliffhanger, if you agree that there should be a series 3 sign the petition the link is at the end of this comment there are already over 3500 people who have signed, i really hope they make a 3rd series and that we get to find out what happens with Vlad there is an endless number of possibilities on how they could end that series. http://www.petitiononline.com/yds30108/
