15 Best Vampire TV Shows to Stream on Netflix, Prime & More in March
Vampires come into the pop culture spotlight and get out of it quite regularly, and throughout the history of the entertainment industry, they left a lasting impression.
Lasting enough for us to pick 20 shows centered around the vampires that left us either stunned or squealing in delight.
There are multiple reasons why vampires have always been relevant. From the moment of their first appearance in books, they captivated the audiences with the not-so-very subtle double entendre of their feeding process that screamed 'scandalous'.
The gothic-style aesthetics provided an extremely visually satisfying imagery, and the whole undeadness added a layer of philosophy to the general seductive vibe. And don't you forget the violence, the bloodiness, the dangerously alluring mix of animalistic and sapient — and you'll get yourself a formula that's gonna lure people towards your story, be it a book, a show, a game, or a movie.
TV shows mostly capitalized on wrapping the prejudices we already had about vampires into a neatly looking package with an added conflict between the human mind that vampires possess and the instincts that command their bodies.
And the way these conflicts are resolved is entertaining: Buffy, for example, still looks fun, even today.
