"A dark fantasy series with a touch of sci-fi, based on the stories of Frankenstein Dracula and others. A group gathers in London to fight against those who stay hidden in the dark as the heroes wonder in the light and dark to find answers to battle these creatures as well as those who walk unseen in the light!"

"Really enjoyed the first 2 seasons. The third was disjointed and felt like several different stories. "

"This is a gritty, dark compelling series with a tremendously acted main character! This series was one that I did not intend to watch at first and decided to give it a try. I was hooked after a couple of episodes! If you enjoy gothic, period dramas about the supernatural give it a go!"

"Loved this supernatural series. I grew up loving Vampire and Werewolves and this series has all of the characters that I loved as a child. Sooo good! Will watch again and again!"
