It isn't as much a distinctly del Toro production as The Devil's Backbone or Pan's Labyrinth, but it's a really good vampire story which I enjoyed in print and want to see made to the end of the last book.
Guillermo del Toro said: "Basically I'm trying to do what I do in my movies which is to show it as a reality, but as a reality that is stylized. It's not like CSI or The Wire, it's real but it feels a little stylized. But the way the camera work will be is very realistic. We want to keep the camera very documentary even if the look of the show is not. The look of the show is very designed. The style of the camera and the storytelling will be very loose. It will evolve from that feel of reality, and little by little we want to evolve into more stylish, horror feel that requires smoother camera moves, more suspense and atmosphere-driven moments so it will be a mixture. I don't think that mixture has been seen a lot on TV."
Although the casting is really good, it's a shame John Hurt couldn't appear and was 'replaced' with David Bradley, who is actually really good, and I think del Toro wanted Ron Perlman to play Vasiliy Fet, but Kevin Durand was cast instead.
