I usually give new shows at least three episodes before ditching them. In this case, I gave it four. It didn't help. The violence and gore are plentiful but the plot is confused and meandering. Capable actor Alexandra Daddario floats through looking lost. The dialog doesn't have a hint of the lyric poetry in the other AMC/Anne Rice production, "
Interview with the Vampire". In many ways, this show looks weaker by comparison. None of the brilliance of the former is present here. It's just dark and dull and moves slower than a daytime drama. And so, after episode #4, I said goodbye.
