Since Twilight, it seems that all millennial have shared fantasy of a tall, dark, brooding stranger with a tragic past, romantic heart… and thirst for human blood.
Before there was Twilight, there was Angel, Spike, Dracula and a whole host of bloodsucking fiends which don’t glitter in the sunlight. Here are 8 shows you should watch if you’re looking for a TV series that is totally fangtastic.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
The vampires in Buffy the Vampire Slayer are soulless fiends who often get punched in the face by Buffy, a 5ft teenage girl. It’s awesome.
Angel
The Buffy spin-off takes itself a little more seriously but David Boreanez as a brooding vampire turned demon hunter/detective is pretty cool.
True Blood
If you like your vampires a little more raunchy, True Blood is the show for you.
Being Human
What do you get if you cross a vampire, werewolf and ghost and get them to share a flat together? A pretty decent show apparently.
The Vampire Diaries
Relive your teenage vampire obsession with this deliciously corny teen drama.
Supernatural
Alternatively, if you want something a little more adult, the vampires in Supernatural are far less whiny.
Penny Dreadful
Head to the streets of Victorian London to encounter classic literature’s most infamous characters including Dr Frankenstein, Dorian Gray… and Dracula.
A Discover of witches
Set in England, the 2018 show about witches features the odd vampire here or there too.
