Let the Right One In (It's refering to the vampire, not the other. I think.)


Behind!-- err, nevermind. Actually, I don't even remember this character. Who the hell are you?


 Practically disregarded as "the remake of a remake", Let the Right One In fights not only with the usual problems of a TV series but also against the problem of dealing with an over-exploited plot driver.

 The director is straightforward and presents a Vampire burning in the sun right off the bucket, and then slowly proceeds to merge the zombie virus with vampires, as it has been done before.

 The series' main hooker is the relationship between the two main characters, a certain dad and his vampire daughter. Both have to fight the problems that her blood-bathed immortality: Is she a monster for drinking human blood or is he for providing it? Will they find the cure they've been seeking for the last ten years or one of them has lost faith? Etcetera.

 Minus points for lack of originality, plus points for great management in the aforementioned relationship.
