The creator of this series is the same creator of the 1980s version, with Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. For that reason I was disappointed to see a simplified version of the original, totally missing the community-oriented underworld (beneath the city) in which Vincent and a number of other outcasts lived. Somehow I hope this is forthcoming in this show, as this was part of its intrigue. It's worth mentioning that Kristin Kreuk is well-cast and does a good job as the lead character. The Vincent character (not the actor) is a little boring. I hope the show will develop more depth over time and bring a new angle to some of the elements of the 1980s version that created such a strong following.
