Today, Vulture.com posted: "Forever Knight Is the Best Vampire Cop Show Ever Made (in Canada)" by Naomi Skwarna.

You may enjoy reading it! She knows what she's talking about, says it sassily, and more than merely name-checks Ger and Parriot. A few excerpts:

"...a certain candlelit, Vaseline-y haze that elicited the feeling, if not the reality, of a saxophone solo — a soft-goth Canadiana aesthetic..."

"...people are constantly getting murdered during the show’s three seasons, often in the cold open — it’s hard to tell if Nick’s vampire-cop tactics are affecting the crime rate at all. Mostly, he tools around Toronto in his teal Caddy on his way to question some babe of interest. And you know what? It’s great. Forever Knight makes a meal of the horny gaze, abundantly populating scenes with smoldering glances, billowing windbreakers, rose petals, and close-ups of bra straps."

"...one may wonder, Why would a French vampire move to Toronto? Did he go to Toronto Police College? There are no clear answers. As in most Canadian shows, Canada simply happens, even to vampire cops."

"As campy as it is, the series is frequently touching, even adventurous..."
