The Fades (2011)
A British series (only one season long) about a high school student who is an 'angelic' who, along with other angelics, battles the 'fades' or ones who have died but not yet ascended to the hereafter. Seems the fades are bitter because they have missed their ascension and are taking it out on the human race. This show is hit and miss. The overall look of the series is spot on, with doomy set pieces and cool effects, like the look of the fades and their transformation, but the story itself is kind of clunky. It varies from being twisty and unexpected to being dragged down by too much unneeded drama. I wish they would have amped the pace up a bit and made it more of an action show. The cast is credible and it was a fun watch nonetheless. It was cool to see pre-GOT actors in it as well. At once there was Queen Margaery Tyrell, Gendry, and Yoren all in the same scene! 7 out of 10 stars.
