I watched this show when it originally aired in 1991 and I'm just as mesmerized now as I was, then.
Gothic, elegant...this show absolutely SHAPED my early adult years and spawned many a creative idea within me.
Ben Cross...wow...there can be no other Barnabas Collins. Elegant, gorgeous and beautifully tragic.
He was perfection.
Adrian Paul as Jeremiah... gorgeousness, absolute beautiful tragedy. Oh my absolute God he is so beautiful.
Michael T. Weiss was so gorgeous, so regal, so simply amazing, but so humble, caring and down-to-earth. He was such royal innocence, his chiseled face reflecting every heartbreaking emotion to perfection.
I wanted to be Joanna Going. MUCH more loveable and endearing as the kind and sweet Victoria Winters rather than the spoiled and petulant Josette, she was so amazingly gorgeous, I watched her every mannerism to try and emulate her quiet grace.
Combine all those characters with the rest of the superb cast (Jim Fyfe...his best work) and that MUST HAVE mansion and there will simply never, EVER be another show like this.
There just can't be. It's incomparable, irreplaceable and magnificent.
The ONLY downfall to this masterpiece was Lysette Anthony's AWFUL performance as the witch, Angelique.
WAY over the top acting (she sounded like she was getting it on, NOT performing magic) and that horrible, HORRIBLE attempt at a French accent, I'm so glad she was introduced later on.
But all-in-all, this show is a MUST SEE!
