It looks as if it will be concentrating more on the Vampire culture, so we will get an understanding of the Houses and their history which will be cool.
But... the show was really all that engaging. I am going to grab the next ep, but if it doesn't get any better then the movie length pilot, you can forget about it.
Not much showing of Blade which was odd, he played a minor part in the first ep. Really hard to judge what the new guy is like, had very little lines and black on black in a dark environment, he is very hard to see.
