He was brought across in 1228,
Preyed on humans for their blood.
Now he wants to be mortal again.
To repay society for his sins,
To emerge from his world of darkness,
From his endless forever night.


Let me tell you a story.

The year was 2006. I was dating a lovely young woman who was telling me of her time in England. She had been visiting the countryside, where not much happened, and entertained herself with dusty DVDs. "There was this old show we watched. You've probably never heard of it... Forever Knight."

My jaw dropped. I saw Forever Knight when it aired, but since I lived in Paris, Texas, I had to stay up past midnight when one of our two local TV stations would play it. I had mentioned the show to countless people over the years and no one had even heard of it. Until she spoke those words, I had started to wonder if I'd imagined the whole thing in some fit of insanity.

Anyway, this year we celebrated fifteen years of marriage.

Forever Knight (1992-1996) was The Little Show That Could. Small budget. Big ideas. Sympathetic vampires were a new idea, and Forever Knight was one of the first places where the idea flourished. I laughed the first time I heard the premise. A vampire cop? Really? But the show grew on me. I honestly don't know how many writers have explored the lives of vampires so thoroughly and honestly, and in doing so this little show definitely made its mark.

If you can forgive dated effects and low-budget moments, this old show might be worth your time.
