Its a good show should give it a try. I admit though that not all the vampire stuff is good like twilight sucked balls. I liked Ann Rice Novels the early ones until it got a bit too mental lulz. But yea if your homophobic the homo-erotic crap between sire and fledgling will make you squirm.(Remember lending interview of a vampire the book to a male friend, didnt go down well) And yea even in that video theres overtones of it.
I just let that pass over my head and focus on the good points like kick ass story, immortality,powers and historical tidbits. I mean hurricane katrina is deeply tragic for me personally as new orleans was featured prominently in Ann Rice books and now I'll never see it as it was.
PS> Best recent vampire movie though was 30 days of night, It hit me like a sledgehammer when I was in the cinema....Fooking brutal.
