There are two concurrent plots running on Dark Shadows at the moment: one, the story of a headless dead sorcerer running around killing people, the other a traditional soap staple involving a relationship triangle and a custody dispute. And the weird thing is, I'm enjoying the Soap plot so much more than the Spook plot. I think it is because the Soap plot involves relatable human emotions, whereas our headless boogeyman is just capital 'E' Evil for the sake of it.

Oct. 10th, 2018 08:20 pm ...And here I am, nearly at the end of this series, and it's suddenly turned into a soap opera again. What's more it's a darn good one too. There's attempted murder , blackmail, stolen documents, a long lost husband returning from the dead (the day his 'widow' remarries!) and all round family dysfunction. A sorcerous head is looming on the horizon, but for the moment all the supernatural tricks have been laid aside. Oddly enough it works!
