A short-lived [[Vampire Detective Series]] that ran from 2007 to 2008 on CBS. Some saw it as a shameless ripoff of [[Angel
The show revolves around Mick St. John, a 90 year old private investigator (though thanks to vampirism, he looks pretty good for his age). Despite being turned well over 50 years ago, Mick still has some angst about being a vampire, and refuses to kill for food. He has no qualms killing bad guys or other vampires, though. He also has some surprising hang-ups regarding a [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|pretty young blonde...]]
Line 28:
* [[Moral Dissonance]]: Mick murders people throughout the course of the show.
** Beth also let vampires kill a paparazzo because he threatened Mick.
* [[Murder
* [[Never Found the Body]]: Coraline
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Most of the vampires are in their 20s and 30s. Their actual ages are occasionally measured in centuries.
Line 36:
** Vampires are allergic to silver, which is actually a neat way of reconciling the whole silver bullet thing with the vampires' lack of reflections in mirrors (which are, or at least used to be, backed with silver) and that you can't take a photograph of them (silver salts in film emulsion).
*** Which apparently means you can take a ''digital'' photo of a vampire with no problems.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: ''[[
* [[Silver Has Mystic Powers]]: Film and mirrors made with it can't picture vampires.
* [[To Become Human]]: Mick {{spoiler|and Coraline}} take the steps towards this.
