I guess I'll watch Season 2 when it comes on NowTV but I'm not in a rush to go seek it out   |
I'm re-watching the first season, and watched the first episode on Friday and then last night with Guillermo del Toro's commentary. As usual, it's a brilliant commentary track, which is packed full of information about the background to the books and series, including historical details about vampirism around the world (the mention of Antoine Augustin Calmet led to some online reading by me), the importance of the colour palette and collaboration between director, cinematographer, production designer and wardrobe department, and how certain character details fit into the overall story arc.
