The fact that each season is its own storyline, with the actors being recast each season, gives this show a wonderful flexibility. Now just accept that there will be over the top gore and lots of sex (often extraneous, but sometimes plot determined) and you've got a good watch.

Just be aware that most to all of the characters will be Evil (though often likeable), and evil usually wins, and run with it.

Reality TV isn't particularly my genre, but campy, silly murder mysteries are. This one is reasonably fun.

I love the coherent universe and metaphysics built into the show. The "Masquerade" angle is downplayed. There is certainly an element of 'pretty supernatural people' involved, but enough characterization and plot so that that doesn't get overblown.

The 'unique' combination (ghost, vampire, werewolf) is repeated at least three times in the cosmology, so that's a bit awkward, and it's probably a good thing it stopped when it did, but this show is still worth a watch.

This show really knows how to play with time travel tropes - stay alert, pay attention to the season arcs, and be aware that anything and everything can change... Also, pretty people and dinosaurs!

He's a mystery writer, she's a cop - THEY SOLVE CRIME!

What's not to love?

(Murder She Wrote went twelve years, then occasional movies - just sayin')

It's been ages since I've read the book, but this two parter has much of the feel of the movie while being set in the modern day.

A lot of fun, but the best parts were the crossover with the British version of the show.

It's a lovely costume drama. It touches on period events and issues, but stays accessible to the modern viewer. Lots of emotion and drama, but really it's all about the clothes and the places...

British brevity done right.

Great concept (women codebreakers from WWII have trouble readjusting to civilian life in the repressive 1950's, get embroiled in solving murders...) A bit hard to follow at times, as things have to move very fast to fit everything into two very short seasons, but it's a great mystery show.

Intriguing, but sometimes it works too hard to keep the gore level high.

The show takes classic creatures from Victorian to Edwardian period horror and brings them together with *lots* of sex and graphic gore, mixed in with some very strange and not at all period cosmology. Worth watching, but not amazing.
