A show I have recently enjoyed is called, “Moonlight”.
It’s the typical vampire show where the lead vampire is trying to be a good guy even though he is a vampire.
The storyline has been done to death (pun intended), but it’s always a fun ride to see the conflicts that a character has to endure trying to live in a world where, technically, he is unwanted and would literally be killed if discovered.
There is usually a love interest, who is not a card-carrying member of the undead society, which always creates even more inner-turmoil for the blood-drinking leading man.
