RaulSez: Bringing You the Best In and Around LA & The Universe!

Update: It is with a heavy heart that I report that one of the most promising new shows has been cancelled. R.I.P Demons

So I’m hoping not to come off too pretentious but with some exceptions here and there, BBC America seems to have the most daring and well written shows on television today. Though I am extremly sad that Torchwood is now blown to pieces and I don’t know WHAT will become of Doctor Who…I am keeping the faith.

One of the shows is AMAZEBALLS so far is:

Demons-with the HOT HOT HOT Christian Cooke. If you loved Buffy, Roswell, Torchwood, Doctor Who, etc. you are going to LOVE this. It is the show you should be watching RIGHT NOW!

The story goes…Luke Rutherford (Christian Cooke) is every bit the average teenager, but with the arrival of his dead father’s best friend Rupert Galvin (Philip Glenister), Luke’s life is about to change. Galvin has come to inform Luke that his father’s death fifteen years ago wasn’t an accident, and that he holds a secret destiny as the great-great grandson of Abraham Van Helsing, the vampire hunter in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Now Luke must carry the torch and do battle against the inhumans and the freaks that walk among us, but he must keep it all hidden and maintain his normal life as a son and a student.

To train Luke in his quest, Galvin calls on the beautiful but icy Mina Harker (Zoe Tapper), a blind concert pianist with a history. She also happens to be the foremost authority on the undesirable entities preying on humanity. The sinister and moldering Father Simeon (Richard Wilson) is Luke’s other counselor on the lore and myths behind the creatures he faces.

Luke’s first opponent is the villainous Gladiolus Thrip (Mackenzie Crook), a “type 12” vampire with a burning hatred for the Van Helsing line. The list of terrifying adversaries grows with the cockroach-munching “type 5” called Redlip (Martin Hancock); a “type 9” child-snatching demon-in-angel’s clothing called Gilgamel (Rick English); and the half-man half-rat Mr. Tibbs (Kevin McNally), who bears a deep and personal grudge against a member of the team.

Note: Demons premiered Saturday, January 2nd at 10/9c. The following episodes air Saturdays at 9/8c.
