That is taken - literally - from the original book/ movie. Even though this is called "Let The Right One In" - it is very loosely based on that story. I gave up any expectations of this particular show following the book/movie and am liking it better. Or should I say - I am liking it for what it is trying to be. The character of Mark intrigues me. And the actor is killing it (pun intended!) He murders to keep his child alive and it is killing him on the inside! I wasn't so sure about that whole side story with Claire and her brother Peter until they showed that Ellie and Peter had met 10 years ago when they both became vampires'. I am looking forward to those two meeting again. I can NOT even guess where this show is going so each week I am like - whoa! Didn't see that coming! Haha!

Wait! What??? Season 3 is available? now?

Thank you

I started watching this series because of the name. The (Original) Swedish movie is one of my all time favorites! Beautifully hauntingly filmed. Like you said -- more of a love story than a vampire tale. This series, though, is is getting into the nitty gritty of being a vampire in today's world. Like ... How would that actually work? and of course there is the whole take on what would you do to keep your child alive? Your child needs fresh blood to live. Where do you get that? How do you get that? Do you commit murder? What are you willing to sacrifice so that your child will continue to live.

Congratulations, your partner is Eliza Scarlet! Get ready for some serious rule breaking and non-stop action. Eliza is determined, intelligent, and won't stop until all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. You also don't mind breaking rules when it's for the right reasons; it's more important to solve the crime and catch the culprit, rules be damned! You may have had people doubt you a time or two, but that's never stopped you from doing what you're meant to do. You delight in proving others wrong, but you're also caring and quite charming. You and Eliza will surely be successful partners and great friends! ^^^^^^^ Haha!

Yeah Mark's first kill was grim! and horrifying! and realistic because he panicked like most decent people would. I guessed that Ellie's mom would sacrifice herself to keep Ellie alive. Especially after Mark told Naomi that her death "wasn't good" I was like -- yup Ellie sucked her blood!

Awwww! That was so cute! Nice way to end the season. And Fitzroy! my boy! He came through! I'm glad he didn't die. The little actor is just so cute and is certainly playing the part with such earnest appeal! he's my new favorite. Did anyone else think Hattie's fiancé was going to be some nasty old man? I did! So it was a nice surprise that the dude is just a little boy. But it was specifically mentioned earlier in the season - I think by Hattie herself?--- that she and Eliza are the same age -- which is about late 20's? early 30's? and that dude looked VERY young - like maybe 18? So hm? a new set of problems for next season??? I just love love love Eliza and Moses! I'm not even going to be sorry about it! yes she leads him around but he sure is fine doing her bidding! It amuses me that he finds Eliza so fascinating! and of course Eliza and William! Would either of them actually have said something to the other if William really did go to Scotland? I am happy William is staying though. I liked the handkerchief bit. He knew Eliza didn't embroider them -- she even admitted it was Ivy - and at first he threw them away and then after some consideration -- he picked them out of the trash and added them to his box of belongings. Aw! S0 symbolic! and I don't mind a bit of serious competition with that Nash dude. make William see that other men find Eliza desirable!

This is VERY much loosely based on the book/movie. Like loosely with a capital L I'm liking it because it's not too scary. And since it is not like the book/movie -- I am just raking it as it comes --- which means I have NO expectations.

All I know is -- when Ellen (Meredith Grey) is gone I am gone as well. No Grey in Grey's

I think all the cake and carnival was to show how the two families are bonding. I kind of like Mark and Naomi . They deff have a chemistry. I think once in a while Mark just wants to forget the horror story he is living in and wants to be normal. But man! When Naomi finds out Mark killed Isaiah's father! Watch out! I am interested in when Peter and Ellie became vampires. and I was like - whoa! They knew one another before.???? That HAS to mean something! and yeah - that guy that took their names and address ? Is he the original vampire? I wonder?

^^^ that never occurred to me! I like Fitzroy! The little actor is killing it! His cute little facial expressions are adorable - especially when he sees Eliza walk into a room! He just lights up! ! He's a geek from the 1800's! Spouting Shakespeare! Being all weird and awkward. Don't kill him!

Me too! I never figure out the mystery but the actrees playing the sister was super sketch! She LOOKED guilty as hell! I thought this ep was cute! I love the way Eliza and William know one another so well. And once again the running joke -- you brought your wife! -- she not my wife! haha! It never gets old. The character of Hattie is still somewhat annoying to me. Forcibly quirky characters annoy me. But Fitzroy -- he's playing his quirkiness not in your face. - so to speak. He's more subtle. I love the way he smiles and lights up the minute he sees Eliza! and William ALWAYS notices! Speaking of -- Eliza and Moses are just adorable! The way they were laughing and smiling together when William walks up! Haha! William most definitely notices that as well. I love the way his jaw clenches when he sees them together. Yeah. I wonder how/what they will do with William going off to Glasgow??? I mean the show is called Miss Scarlet and THE DUKE - so I can't imagine his absence will last very long.

Meredith will do Meredith. At least she has always been true to herself. She was raised by Ellis Grey. Enough said. I have been saying from the moment the writers or whoever gave the character -- Meredith - who has always been shown to be awkward and cold and perhaps selfish - not just one child but multiple children! It's a travesty! But in real life I have known a woman or two who should never have become mothers. and yet they do. and the children are the ones who suffer.

Ha! That's my girl! being Meredith to the very end. Derek was her one and only love. Period. Soul mates and all that. I've always got the feeling she "likes" some of the men she has been with since Derek died -- but none of them she has loved. and therefore in Meredith's world - they are sort of after thoughts. So the Grey house has burned down. Wow. Symbolic. That tells me that once Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) is gone -- she ain't coming back! The end.

I can NOT tell you how happy I am to hear that! I hate hate hate the long breaks between some of these shows! They go away .. I forget...

Is that what's going on? The first season I had a hard time with all that black hair. I've gotten used to it now. Sort of

All the fake beards and fake mustaches can be disconcerting! and confusing! All the men look alike! haha! Sometimes the fake hair/wigs stand out so much I can't see past them!

I watch with CC on -- it helps with the accents and the names! Once I see them in print - I can remember who is who. I also remember by facial hair! Nash was just introduced this past ep and has the smarmy mustache Phelps was introduced in the fist ep and has the full bead and mustache (red hair to boot!) he kind of looks like he could play Van Gough.

Finally got to watch last night. I thought it was cute! I was charmed from beginning to end. Loved the dinner with Ivy and Potts looking nervous and uncomfortable and Wellington stuffing his face and complaining about Eliza like a husband complaining about his wife! Ha! And William trying to drag Potts into the conversation by making him admit how much he "loathes" Eliza ( Potts is like --Loathe is such a strong word! - Ha!) Anyway I liked that Eliza figured out the case and turned the whole thing back on Nash so that he accused the wrong man. I actually wouldn't mind someone else seeing Eliza's worth and making William jealous. Nash is a bit smarmy but so are many men from that time period -- case in point the guy at the botanical society being all creepy to Eliza. I really enjoyed Eliza and William's cute little meeting the following day when she didn't show up at his office the night before with the report he wanted (Oh William don't huff and Puff -- I don't huff and puff! ) made me really like them together. I liked Eliza admitting that she wants William to approve of her and to find her work worthy.

It's like half the shows I watch -- they come on -- they get me invested -- then wham! - they go off the air for like years and years and when season 2 or whatever FINALLY comes back - no one cares or remembers!!! So they have poor ratings and are canceled. and TPTB wonder why????

I wondered how the show would deal with the age of the actress playing Elenore if the show goes into more than one season. Because the little actress is most deff gonna age. All I know is from the book/original movie the girl (Ellie) is stuck at age 12yrs for ... many many years. Like centuries. In this show it seems to be about 15 - 20 years? Every time I watch I wonder if this is the ep where Mark gets caught. Cuz you just know it's coming!

Also they were married for 10 full years before Catherine became pregnant for the first time. 10 years! The show made seem like a year at most.

I had to stop and think for a minute. Who is Claire and Peter? Ha! Yeah. That whole side story was NEVER in the original movie or even the remake. The best I can figure is Claire is trying to find a cure for being a Vampire? It's like she's never seen a movie or read a book about Vampires. She thinks it's some sort of disease that can be "cured" Didn't her father say it was in Peter's DNA - so I'm not sure what she thinks she can do? Any way, I like the Mark and Zeke relationship. It helps explain how Mark has been able to keep Ellie's secret a secret. The bald dude with the tats was watching Mark and Zeke load the body of Elijah's father into the car. He was originally with that dude (can't remember his name) that worked for Clair's father and now works for her. Bald guy was told to follow Mark and find out why he was watching them that one night (I think it was the first or second ep?) This is deff a different take on Let The Right One In. So far I am along for the ride.

Ha! I was a little annoyed that William is back to having a side-piece. But then I remember -- this is Victorian England -- a time when many husbands had mistresses - so a single man fooling around? No Big Deal. I figured Ivy asked around and William ---not keeping his dalliance a secret---- was pretty easy to find. Yes!!!! the inside on going joke of Eliza being William's wife will never get old! I never "get" the mystery so I don't even try! I am only watching for the character relationships!

I love this show too! But it goes away... for like years! and I hear nothing about it. I wonder... is another season in the making?
