I loved this series and it's unique take on vampires, though I was a little disappointed in the final season and how they brought the show to a conclusion.

I was happy with the entire show. I was just disappointed that they stopped it at 4 seasons. I wanted more.

They were originally going to do 5 seasons, but then decided they'd shorten the series down to 4 seasons.
