I agree with GP that the show has an extremely interesting take on the core ideas, but I think the execution falters slightly, especially in the last couple of episodes. The characters started doing some fairly silly things, and I also don't like that they gave up completely on the science-investigation angle they had going. They had some interesting players set up against one another with the infighting among the vampires, and then the sheriff, and the main woman character, but then in the end they basically wasted it all by relying almost entirely on the vampires screwing up massively for no reason in order to end the story. Not to mention the fact that surely there must have still been a couple of things left here and there for the vampires to hide from the sun behind.
