An expansion on the original mystic Swedish version, but this TV-Series digs deeper into the love, protection and devotion from a parent over their child. Either that child be a social outcast and bullied (like the detective's nerdy son, Isaiah, who loves his magic), or neglected (as with the case of Claire Logan who discovers dark family secrets hidden by her wealthy selfish father). But Claire's dilemma is that she was the mother figure for her dying brother, and sets out to find a cure from his vampirism.
Most important of all is the case of the protagonist, Eleanor Kane, a child vampire protected by her father, Mark Kane, from committing evil acts that he instead performs himself - the true test and love of a parent. It is this relationship that the series will hinge on, and already you can sense the tension between daughter and father, as the young one yearns to hunt and kill for her human meal.
In the gothic urban setting of NY, this series has set-up the premise of two outcast children out to make a connection through their loneliness and pain. While the third older child, Claire, seems to be on a quest to find a cure for the blood lusting disease, and in turn might help Eleanor's plight.
At present I am not convinced with the forced-like set-up, and the too many coincidences that link the characters. But I will forgo that minor discrepancy as the eeriness and urban gothic visuals have drawn me in and left me wondering what is in store for Eleanor Kane - and how far will a parent protect their loving child.
