TV series that have no right to be as good or as fun as they are based on their premise, or are campy and absurd and yet somehow make it work.

There was a show that ran on Canadian TV called Forever Knight. It was about a vampire detective who could only work the night shift and used the blood bank like a soup kitchen. It had surprising depth and rtich relationships among the the supporting cast. You had a sense that it was an actual community with a history and connections that existed outside the plotline. Also it had the best ending for a series I've ever seen.

This sounds similar but different to another show called iZombie about a zombie that works in a police morgue and gets brains from there (in this universe, zombies only turn feral if they go without brains for too long). Also, a side effect is that she gets flashes of that person's memories after eating their brains and helps solve their murders lol.

I might have to check Forever Knight out.

I loved that show back in the day. Nigel Bennett is such a solid character actor. I don't remember how it ended though, which I guess means I need to re-watch it.
