A quick note on the dates on the titles of this post, there was an amusingly bad TV movie by the same name that aired in '89, it's a sort of prequelly standalone thingy, the pilot for the show basically goes over the same events. However, the actual show first aired in '92 through to '96 hence the weird dates.
Season 1 cast |
The basic premise is that Nicholas Knight (IIRC he sometimes goes by Nick Chevalier, Chevalier is French for knight) was a French Knight about 800 years ago, a crusader. He met a beautiful lady vampire - Jeanette - and her sire the conniving Lucien La Croix (French for 'The Cross' ha ha subtle guys) turned him. They lived happily for awhile and then Nick rediscovered his morality and decided to find a cure so he can become human again. He joins the Toronto P.D. with the assistance of Natalie Lambert a coroner that signs off on his medical tests etc. Meanwhile Jeanette and La Croix lurk on the sidelines waiting for him to come to his senses.
Season 2 cast |
The third season has some interesting plot twists and shifts the main focus a little bit to feature more of Nick's new partner and her relationship with another vampire named Vashon. She never realizes Nick's true nature which is annoying and weird considering she's boning a vamp and ought to recognize the signs. The third season also has an interesting arc about an AIDs cure that poisons vampires part of the arc introduces a lower class of vampire that feeds on rodents and such.
