About this show

Based on the popular book series by Charlaine Harris, the author behind HBO's "True Blood," this supernatural drama follows Manfred (François Arnaud), a psychic on the run from a dangerous past who winds up in the remote town of Midnight, Texas. In Midnight, the veil between the living and the dead is particularly thin, which makes it the perfect home for vampires, witches and other unusual beings. Surrounded by the otherworldly, Manfred may have finally found the place where he belongs. But intrusive police, rough-and-tumble biker gangs and a murder mystery threaten to disturb Manfred and his new friends in their supernatural haven.

Constantine was much better, but nbc cancelled Constantine for vapid fluff like this. Now he lost his team and Millhouse and is awkwardly lumped into an overstuffed cw show.

I know Harris wrote True Blood which, I admittedly watched for Lafayette but I wasn't that interested in the show. This one, however, I am already interested in. Good job pilot!
