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. -

Very good take on Vampire myth
If you like anything to do with vampires then you will love this. Even if you're not that keen on vampires Ultraviolet has an excellent storyline and is compelling veiwing.
BAsicly, this is a modern take on the vampire myth with some off the wall overtones. Without giving away to much it is refreshing and intiruiging to watch - I watched the full series back to back and did not lose interest at anytime.
if only they made a 2nd series.....
Thoroughly recomended veiwing. -
