I love vampires. The story may have been a little slow and simple, but the vibes were immaculate, and that's all I really care about. The costuming is gorgeous, the sets are interesting, and most of the men have fantastic beards.

Adric was definitely under-utilised, especially for his first story as a companion, and spending most of his on-screen time pretending makes it very difficult to figure out what he's like. Not a great start.

Overall, it's a nice serial to have on in the background, but probably not gripping enough to properly watch very often.
