Outsider (HBO) Season One (1 Viewer)

Much as I liked the book and series, I couldn't help thinking that it was a thinly disguised version of Dracula.

Good point. The baddie had a secret lair and even an Igor to do his bidding (or is it a Renfield?).

I just finished the novel and enjoyed it, and have read the summaries of the TV episodes at Wikipedia. Based on those summaries, the TV series completes the book, but it sounds like they added a stinger in the finale that was not in the book that would allow them to continue for a 2nd season.

They also seem to have made numerous changes to the book, from character names to the climax, so I don't think I'll bother with the TV series. Unnecessary changes (what's the point in changing names?) often ruin adaptations for me as I'm nit-picking the changes rather than getting absorbed into the show.
