, and now again arrives on domestic shores as a 10-part Showtime series. In its original Swedish incarnations, this tale of a weary man caring for a young vampire girl who befriends a lonely boy thrived courtesy of the strange, feral unnaturalness of its female protagonist and the twisted bond she shared with both her surrogate-dad caretaker and her new BFF.
In their new Midtown apartment, Mark and Eleanor quickly meet their neighbors: NYPD detective and mom Naomi and her son Isaiah , who loves magic and is tormented at school for his quirky-dorky personality. Eleanor is destined to become both Isaiah’s friend and defender against bullies, andestablishes both characters in sharp detail, fashioning them as three-dimensional lost souls searching for companionship.
