A friend recommended the series to me. He said it was (sort of) a symbiosis between the X-files and a good sci-fi horror movie. Never being a fan of the X-files I decided not to see it. Luckily my girlfriend thought otherwise. She came home one day saying she bought the mini-series, so we watched it together
and watched
and watched, for 6 highly entertaining hours.
Ultraviolet offers a unique perspective on the vampire genre. It's creative and new, but still offering some of the traditional vampire characteristics (no reflection in a mirror, eternal life, the leeching of blood).
I especially liked the fact that the evil was so convincing. Of course Code 5 is bad, I knew that, but gradually I started to sympathise with the point of view of the leeches. The fact that the good guys all had some serious character flaws made the series all the more interesting.
