Forever Knight...well, it was on TV starting in 92 I think, so it predates Buffy and Angel. It's a story about Nick Knight, a homicide detective in Toronto and most plots have human bad guys like a typical cop show. Knight is however an 800 year old vampire trying to become human and atone for his past. His "father" is Lacroix, a general of Pompeii who was "brought across" about 24AD by his daughter Dalia. Nick has a "sister" named Janette who runs a local nightclub, she is slightly older than Nick (perhaps 900+). It is a fantastic mythology...the characters (Janette, Lacroix and Nick along with Nat...Nick's human girlfriend and several others) are wonderful and their relationships very complex. They cover a lot of issues, some very dark! In this world, vampires can fly and have some hypnotic powers, they reflect in mirrors...otherwise close to Angel/Buffy. There are good and bad vampires, very few episodes involve killing bad ones. I love Janette...truly a wonderful character as is Lacroix!
