I loved the original series, but this revival series is my favorite of all the DS franchise. Major kudos to the late Dan Curtis for producing a real gem.
Ben Cross IS Barnabas Collins! All of the acting is superb - especially Jim Fyfe as Ben Loomis, Stefan Gerasch - all stellar cast.
This series is SO underrated and should have been picked up again by NBC to continue.
I've watched all 12 episodes on DVD and re-watched them half a dozen times, and I come away each time with some other little tidbit I missed previously.
One thing I did notice production-wise - which may hearken back to the sort of campy production values of the original series - is seeing a mic boom in the frame during one the last 3 episodes!!! I won't say which one - in case there is someone else out there with an eagle eye!!!
