An FK ripoff? No, I don't think so. Like Angel, it does have some
similarities... vampire detective trying to atone for his sins, pretty mortal he can't have
a relationship with because of the 'beast' within, annoying other vampire
telling him to live like a vampire and forget the mortal self (and soul?) he left
behind... stuff like that. But I've been finding that that is common ground
among a number of vampire stories.
I was trying VERY hard to judge this show on its own merit and not compare it
to FK. As a pilot episode, it wasn't too horrible. Nor was it great. But if I'd
seen FK for the first time by watching the pilot eps, I'd have never gotten
hooked. DK 1&2 are, to me anyhoo, not very good. I had to come in a bit later to
really appreciate FK.
The previews for the next episode look interesting, so I'll wait until I've
seen a few more eps to make a firm decision as to whether or not I'm on board.
After all, NOTHING can ever truly replace Forever Knight... but maybe it can help
to fill the void.

I didn't either...really the show seemed slow untill
the end then it seemed better. I needed to see a
little emotion there. But I really think it will get
better. Pilots shows are never as good as following
episodes. It takes time for show..like people to
learn and develope. I thought someone said they were
400 years old?

The lead vampire is a mere baby compared to Nick, Janette, and LaCroix. Mick
is a 60-year-old vampire. The young yuppie guy is the 400-year-old vampire.

Jason Dohring, 20 something, late of "Veronica Mars" plays
Josef Konstantin. Konstantin was originally scheduled to
be played by Rade Serbedzija, who plalyed in "24" among
other things. More apporpriately, he is in his early sixties.

Nobody can outshine Nigel Bennet at his best! He could
read the phone book and send chills down your spine.
