Ultraviolet
ULTRAVIOLET is a six-hour miniseries that takes place in a world where vampires have lived with humans for centuries and have gone mostly undetected. However, this changes when detective Michael Colefield (Jack Davenport) investigates the strange disappearance of his partner and discovers a troubling alternate reality where vampires seem to control a number of important aspects of society. Because of this experience, Michael is recruited by the government's vampire squad, the CIB, an elite team of agents who are trying to hunt down this society of vampires. A dark, brooding programme that plays like a mix of X-FILES and PRIME SUSPECT, ULTRAVIOLET is one of the most engrossing series to appear on the small screen in years.

Realistic Vampires and believable legends.
This British made Vampire series is unique in the fact that not once is the word Vampire used.
It has 6 episodes and is a cleverly told tale of an infection which turns people into Vampires or Code 5's are they are called in the show.
Policeman Michael Colefield (Jack Davenport) is recruited into the secretive CIB after his best friend and partner is infected. CIB personnel = Pearse (Philip Quast), Dr Angela March (Susannah Harker)Vaughan (Idris Elba).
A good cast with a novel plot twist.
Worth watching. It isn't scary or comic like other attempts in this genre. It is more realistic and believable.
Well told and well acted. Beware they are watching. -

[Highly rated reviewer]
A little before its time
This was I feel a little before its time, if it had been released when Buffy was starting it would have made another series, shame channel 4's timing was off yet again.
This is a classic series, in the bugs, x files style, but has a daring edge, looking at subjects you would not expect from a sci-fi drama.
Worth watching I recommend it to anyone. -
