This weekend I got my first look at Demons, the badly named UK paranormal adventure series. Aside from the fact that single, simple word TV titles make them difficult to look up on the web, Demons just doesn’t accurately describe this amusing cross between Buffy and Primeval.
The show revolves around Luke Rutherford (Christian Cooke), a young man who is the last in the Van Helsing line but doesn’t know it. The story lays out the idea Abraham Van Helsing and Jonathan Harker were all real and that they were all coopted by Bram Stoker for his book Dracula. Like the slayers of Buffy and the hunters of Supernatural – battling the forces of darkness isn’t a career choice – it’s a destiny that is thrust upon you, and when destiny calls you have no choice but to answer.
