I’ve started watching (and like) a Russian dark comedy/drama about vampires called _Vampires of Midland_ or _Central Russia’s Vampires_. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/yIWXaVBzsbo/maxresdefault.jpg "The Vampires of Midland | Trailer") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIWXaVBzsbo) The trailer doesn’t really do a good job of giving the feel for it. It isn’t as dark/gritty as the first half of the trailer makes it look. The police procedural part is similar to the standard _Law and Order_ type show. The vampire part isn’t as zany as _What We Do in the Shadows_, more something like iZombie mixed with some 1980s British show about poor working class people. There doesn’t appear to be any of the big US streaming services carrying it, and I’m not sure about the international legal status of it streaming on Plex, so I won’t link to anything and will let Google be your friend. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/series-youve-recently-watched-are-now-watching-or-have-given-up-on/946108)._
