Okay so there's this new show premiering at the end of the week called "The Gates".It's starring Rhona Mitra(the actress that starred in Underworld:Rise of the Lycans) and Frank Grillo of Prison Break.On ABC's official website they've got a 17 minute preview of the pilot which i found myself s guiltily watching.
Now from the title alone, You really can't tell it's a show based on the Supernatural.And from the opening scene i kinda had the feeling that it was just a show about a suburban family moving to a new neighborhood. But within the first 7 minutes the true plot thickened as Claire Radcliff the character that Rhona plays when she plunged her vampire fangs into a unexpected victim.
The show starts as a family from Chicago called the Monahans move to a quiet upscale perhaps made up neighborhood referred to The Gates. Nick Monahan(played by Frank Grillo)moves his family from Chicago to take a job as the chief police in a smaller, more family oriented town. The town seems normal until one of their neighbors is questioned in a missing persons case, The unexpected Housewife who turns out to be nothing other than a Vampire.
While this show doesn't seem to match the raciness and cast of colorful characters as my other favorite Vamp show True Blood, I still feel as though it's worth the watch.As it explores Vampires in a more Suburban setting hence my blog title"Wisteria Lane meets True Blood".There is sure to be some plot twists and drama mixed in when you're dealing with the "Oh so perfect suburbs".So Everyone has their little secrets. With the summer airing a whole bunch of reruns this is definitely a show I'll be watching.I hope it gets your help too!
