   Been watching Forever Knight (a vampire show from the 90s about how cops are perfect, especially when they are attacking queer people, that a bunch of people have told me is really good, and I'm not feeling it, but keeping watching since possibly first season blues...)
   
   And the beginning of every episode they're like "He wants to emerge from his World of Darkness" in the least trademark infringing way possible in 1992.

     @silverwizard I used to watch it in the 90s because it was a high concept weird show openly set in Toronto. But even then I think I suspected it wasn’t very good.

     @mike The fact that it's in Toronto is so weird
     
     You see that Toronto Seattle skyline, and then, holy shit! It's actually Toronto!

     OK - but - this show had a Reality TV sendup in 1992?! How were people mocking it before it was invented in retroactive histories?!
     
     (To be clear - it was a Cops parody, but definitely called Unreality TV)
     
     Also - it's having a weird deepdive into 12 step programs

     She's got 6 years before she's into The Matrix, and this show is just a Whose Whose of Canadians Whatstheirnames of the 90s - I didn't expect to see her!

     @tezrak It feels like a show that's perfect for anyone who knows what "Afters" is for in a diner at 2 am without ever getting drunk. Someone who remembers looking up pricing fangs and going "nope". And anyone remembering fighting about when to Roll Frenzy.
     
     All of which I 100% do.

     @tezrak I own Kindred the Embraced on DVD!
     
     I love the Highlander Show - the basic premise of the Immortal Western with a weird strict moral core and a focus on home and family is just so tense as a theme, it really shouldn't hold together, but somehow it just does!
     
     I don't know Silk Stalkings... But yeah - I love what I've heard call the "90s DoGooder Show". There's a mostly normal world with a single magical thing who does good.
     
     I feel like Buffy and then Supernatural really changed that entire genre to make it not really the specific thing it is. But you can super see Arrow or The Flash in Forever Knight, and that connection is fun.
     
     There's a Live Action Witchblade show which uh... confounds me but definitely is on my to-watch list.
     
     Unfortunately 2 kids mean I watch shows at approximately 1 episode/week.

     @silverwizard the 90's were a great time for TV like that. Highlander, Forever Knight, Silk Stalkings ... USA Network. Heck there was even an Aaron Spelling Kindred show based on V:tM !

     There's an episode called 1966 and the time difference is longer. Just had one of those "Oh yeah, time exists" things
