This series will be like marmite for most people . You'll love it or hate it , I don't think there'll be much in between.
It is well cast and we'll played. Jaime Winston is the best vampire I've seen in a long time. Abdulla and his mother time things to perfection and are great . The supporting cast are excellent.
Some aspects of the humour are actually quite cheesy and the more serious folk will see them as cringe worthy. They're not they're probably meant to be that way with some brilliantly human behaviour observations ( you do need to listen and watch carefully at some points). A specific example is his mate the Imam. Whatever he comes across as he is fiercely loyal and he gives us more than a few laughs whilst we work him out.
The whole thing is played for laughs and has a mix of cultural and religious observation with some great lines. It is not offensive although I have no doubt some will manage to see it as that with lines such as "how can I be a Muslim halal vampire". You find yourself laughing with them, not at them.
As I said, marmite but you won't know until you've tried it.
