This episode guide is in grid form, broken down into three, brief descriptive sections: On the Job - the case Nick is involved with; Personal/Vampire - what's going on in Nick's personal life or vampire world; and Flashback/Dreams- those dreams and memories from the past that cause Nick to bolt awake covered in blood sweat, or zone out and nearly drive off the road. I've also added a rating of 1-4 stars to each episode. These ratings are based solely on my own opinions and the fact that I like Nick best when he's being naughty. Star Ratings: 4 = A definite must see; 3 = Good; 2 = Fair; 1 = "What else is on?" View full episodes on Hulu.com | |
