One reason to watch... The Fades: episode 1

One reason to watch The Fades: episode 1 - the world is a dark and scary place.

New BBC Three supernatural drama The Fades had me pretty much at the opening titles. One glimpse of a vampire-like creature chowing down on a girl in an alleyway and I'm hooked.

After the recent disappointment of the once glorious Torchwood (don't get me started about Miracle Day), I was relieved to see that BBC Three has once again given us a dark, dirty, scary world to watch every week. And any show that kills off two important characters in the opening episode is definitely worth a look. Just don't freak out at the eyeball moments...
