So BBC3 launches a
spanking new show about a werewolf, a ghost and a vampire
at exactly the same time as Kate Beckinsale
dusts her catsuit down and Stephanie Meyer's
Twilight saga goes absolutely mental.
Harry Potter mental, where adults read kids books, only because they've got monochrome covers they're like totally the equivalent of proper books.
Anyway spooky timing aside (to the extent they also manage to combine vampires and werewolves), despite the creaky plotlines, and the fact it uses the hackneyed good looking one/pretty girl/geeky but ultimately doomed character dynamic, I'm in the weird position of absolutely loving it. Seriously, but is it only 'good' because I clearly don't like sci-fi/horror/whatever and therefore I've got terrible taste, or is it actually 'good'? I'm not sure, can anybody help?
And Septimus, I'm allowed to like it because Russell Tovey was also in
Little Dorrit and therefore it's only one step away from my beloved
bustles and
barouche boxes.
