Looks promising ... not sure about the 7:20pm air time though. Might be a bit tame for such an early show.

Haven't watched myself yet (downloading), but I like this comment:

Plot summary:
(Buffy - boobs) + d!ck = Demons
Hope you got the picture…

Other comments suggest it's crap.

I think there is an excess of faggotry in this series. I hate almost every character, and the villains are ridiculous. With The Fringe and Supernatural to watch I'm not even going to bother with this.

It's bad beyond belief.

What exactly happened to the secretary from the first scenes in episode 1? How did the monkey cause that explosion? (she's also comically visibly still breathing in her dead scenes. We cant even manage acting when it involves laying still and pretending to be dead.)

Then that cheesey CSI moment: "Show time..." It's like something Horatio would say if this weeks murder was in a theatre. All he needed was the sunglasses.

Everyone is far too immediately accepting. You're Van Helsing's son. No I'm not. Here's a photo. Oh ok I am.

I could just go on and on. It's fair to say that there are no redeeming qualities about this show. It's just another incredibly poor british show trying to do something american and failing.

Luke's powers are amazingly highligted in the first ep. Did you see that amazing spatula catch? Then that equally impressive envelope catch? WOW! Then when Life on Mars guy goes to punch him. He dodges! "Nobody else can do that,". Except - you know - boxers... martial artists... loads of people.

All 4 creatures that have been killed off so far have been incredibly easy to destroy. Why do they even need this Van Helsing guy if everything is so easily banished?

I like how in the 2nd ep it's all building up to final battle with Gilgamel (which the ITV announcer dubbed as Luke's "Ultimate Challenge", yet Gilgamel managed to parry less than 5 sword blows before dying. It's the least dramatic battle I've seen in a long time, and certainly no ultimate challenge.

I think I'm going to have to watch the rest of the series just to see if it can get any worse. From the first two episodes I would have to say no.

No offence to the English folks here, but England/UK makes shit movies/tv shows.

Examples
Cornation Street
That Harry Potter rip off show
Torchwood (dunno if its made in the UK, but almost everyone is English)

and more I cant think of off the top of my head.

Same goes for Canada. Canada makes shit tv shows. I can recall like 2 or 3 good shows (cant remember names). But Canada does make some good movies. And we produce the best comedians on earth Smile

there has been a few good ones over the years, hustle is pretty good.

alot of our tv series are comedy and you generally dont get brit humour, we seem to struggle with realism and action.

anyway for every good american series there are 10 shit ones that get canned within a few eps Laughing

You're talking out your arse buddy:

Falty Towers
The Office
Only Fools & Horses
Dr Who
Monty Python
BlackAdder
Life On Mars
Ashes To Ashes
Shamelss
Little Britain
Dad's Army

And thats JUST a few comedies, what about:

Spooks
Rome
Sharpe
The Sandbaggers
Prime Suspect
State Of Play
The Sweeney
Callan
Jekyll
Edge Of Darkness
Cracker
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Life On Earth
Public Eye
The World At War
The Jewel In The Crown
House Of Cards


These are just a very few of possibly the best comedy and drama ever televised.
I won't even bother with the world-class award-winning BBC documentaries [US viewers won't even realize they are British because US networks dub over] or the number of Oscar & Bafta British films

Yeah, he's definitely over generalizing there. Anyway, I tried to watch another episode of this, episode 6, and it was utter shite. Just thought I'd give an update.

Oh yeah Demons is the worst piece of tat ever made, period.
They should take the director and the guy who okayed the production out back and stone them with their own BlackBerry's.
