Count me in on this show; I can't really explain why I'm enjoying it so much, but I am. I agree the pace has been deliberate, but I like that because the build up is much sweeter. I think there needs to be much more explanation of the motive of the head vamp who came over on the plane (in the large coffin/crate); there has to be more than just turning everyone into vamps - what would be the fun in that?
Del Torro has a wonderful imagination, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the design of the vamp f/x were all his doing. He heavily influenced the creature designs for Pan's Labyrinth, and these creatures are somewhat similar.
Also - loved the way the head vamp moved through the barracks in the flashback to WWII - very cool f/x and idea.
