What I find most dissatisfying about watching this is how much time it takes to get through all of the episodes. Really, if this was edited down to a 2-hour movie, it may have been more enjoyable.
The story line was kind of cool, and the cast was pretty excellent. Each performer in the main cast did a superb job with what they were given.
On the other hand, some of the free-thinker (which I am) preachiness felt misguided and tedious. Jumbling the concepts of religious fundamentalists and vampires, maybe aiming to create parallels between the 2, came across as heavy-handed and a little messy. I am not really spiritual or antireligious, but the effort made me a little uncomfortable.
Reality check: every made-for-NF movie and series I've watched is worth 2 stars on any scale.
