love this series.......2007-07-22

this series has a much better plot line than most "Vampire" stories on tv today. This one should have been made into a full-blown series!! Forget "Forever Knight", "Angel", "Buffy", and all the others, this one blows them all away. Well worth having!!!!!

Short but sweet.......2007-06-26

This is a great set but I'm not sure why the price is so high. I just bought mine for ten bucks in a DVD bargain bin. My only problem with this series is Howell as a tough hard nosed cop (say what?). What's next Rambo 4? At least he's not in every scene and everyone else is great. If you're a big fan then you already own it, otherwise the price is a bit much for two discs.

A must have for fans of the vampire genre........2007-04-26

This is a must buy and well worth the money.
It is, by far, the best vampire series I have ever seen.
Others just don't measure up.
Mark Frankel's acting was surpurb in his portrail of Julian Luna.
The viewer can empathize with his charactor; The constant struggle between surpressing his human desires while ruthlessly fulling his duties as Prince of the City.
Offset by the other main charactors in the series and their scenerios, this makes for one of the most entertaining and spell binding soap operas /series yet!
Watching the entire vampire collection [which consist of 8 shows]left me 'thirsty' for more with a sadness that there will never again be another charactor like Julian Luna!
Any producer would be hard-pressed to find another actor who could so sucessfully portray the charactor of Julian Luna as Mark Frankel did,
may he rest in peace.

Kindred:The Embraced,Gone From Us Much Too Soon!.......2007-04-08

Kindred:The Embraced was the finest series ever, with vampire mythology as its core content. Based on the White Wolf role playing game, The Masquerade, this series presented a new take on a genre that had become,at best, tiresome and frankly, just plain boring. The characterizations in Kindred were superb. Mark Frankel, as the The Prince, Julian Luna was remarkable. No one else could have done a better job in the role. Frankel played Julian with a deep sense of mystery and forbidden longing. His soulful eyes departed all the emotional angst that Julian suffered in his role as Prince of San Fransisco and the torment he usually faced in his personal life. In wake of Frankel's untimely death, shortly after the series ended, it is hard to conceive of anyone taking his place as Julian Luna. Jeff Kober, in the character of Daedalus, the Nosferatu Primogen, was simply heartbreaking. Daedalus was the most ancient of all the Kindred, it was never revealed just how ancient, but it was hinted that Daedalus was several thousand years old. Daedalus was a solitary soul, keeping to the caverns under Julian's mansion, usually only emerging when called on by Julian to tend to Kindred business. Cultured, educated, artistic, Daedalus was the most complex, in nature,of all the Kindred. Longing for love and yet ,killing with a fierce veracity, Daedalus was a creature to be reckoned with on many levels. These two and other primary characters(Cash,Sasha,Lillie,Caitlin,ect.)were the reason Kindred was such an enjoyable series. That and the presentation of the vampire culture in"The Masquerade". It was so refreshing to see these individuals live in a semblence of actual society,where they obeyed laws and didn't spend all their time in black capes,running around blood dripping on their collars. They were portrayed with the same emotions as their human counterparts and this allowed for such good drama. View this series if you have half the chance, it is well worth your time. It is best to try and watch the entire series, at once, to get the full impact of how well-done it was.

BRING BACK THIS SHOW PLEASE!!!.......2007-02-10
