Dark Shadows, Disc
1 of 6 seasons
English
5 Stars
OK, Rainy Day admits it, she is a sucker for the classic TV
series, Dark Shadows. When it ran back in 1966 on, she seldom got to see it,
and only recently have the discs been available on Netflix, so guess what she
is enjoying? The first disc, episodes 1 – 9, takes place before Barnabas
Collins arrives at Collinswood! A rather dark and moody soap opera, it broke
several traditions, Rainy Day thinks – the first being the introduction of the
tormented vampire, Barnabas. The second being the format. Unlike many of the
'traditional' soap operas which spend over have the show telling what happened
the day before, Dark Shadows does no such recap. Rainy Day can hardly wait for
all of them, before the Johnny Depp movie comes out!
Trailers and excerpts of the original series can be found here.
