Realistic Vampires and believable legends.
By a customer from Wales , 11 Oct 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
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.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good Cast and Production, But It Could Have Been Better
By MrGiles2 (62 reviews) from Middlesbrough , 19 Apr 2011First broadcast in 1998, it showed a lot of promise at the time with a strong storyline about vampires wanting to dominate the world, and a small group of hunters desperately trying to track them down. Despite its promise, it did not quite work out as well as it should have done. A great opening episode, then the following five episodes dragging the storyline slower and slower. There was not enough strong material to justify six episodes, consequently it did become rather dull towards the end which is a pity. However, there is a very good cast making the best of it, Susannah Harker, Idris Elba, Jack Davenport and Philip Quist, with Corin Redgrave and Fiona Doleman guest starring. I do think four episodes may have been enough though, with quicker pacing leading to a more satisfying ending. As it turned out, the ending was left open possibly because there may have been plans for a sequel which never materialised. Despite a good cast with some good production values, it was a bit of a let down. Good picture and sound on DVD though.- Was this review helpful to you?

Ultraviolet (Disc 1)
By oli74 (44 reviews) from olisykes74@gmail.com , 07 Feb 2011My review is that, in Disc 1 at least, it is hit and miss. Want to know more but also couldn't really engage with the characters. I hope my opinion changes when I've seen Disc 2 but not holding my breath.- Was this review helpful to you?

Dark & Very British
By a customer from Aberdeenshire , 26 Jul 2010We'll start off with a compliment...
Very watchable and moreish. As you finish episode one you'll be straight on to the second and so on and so on. Very low key and dark. Good if you're not that bothered about big drama.
However, this mini series does have a its down points. One being how frightfully British it is. Jack Davenport's slopey shoulder acceptance that there are Vampires roaming about is either his bad acting or the cluncky scripting - You decide!- Was this review helpful to you?
