A paranormal television, book or film series that features monsters as lead characters that you enjoyed
[Note - the monsters can be featured as secondary characters, just not be solely the antagonists - they kind of should be protagonists as well as antagonists. Note - I said protagonist - this means that yes it can be an anti-hero series featuring monsters.]
Mine?
The Vampire Diaries
I have to admit I adore the paranormal genre with monsters as protagonists. I've watched so many of them. They don't scare me, that much, and I love the metaphors. Currently watching Teen Wolf - but not gotten far enough to make a clear determination. Vamp Diaries is another example of a television series I thought I'd hate and ended up loving.
*Note I deliberately made this pretty broad - so you can pick film, films, television movies, series, mini-series, or novels. Also the characters can be antagonists. Also it can be animated.

Well, what do you know? A visually innovative, ornately designed comic book with a nuanced monster for a protagonist gets turned into a visually innovative pair of major motion pictures, with the great Ron Perlman giving us a nuanced monster of a protagonist!
Why can't they do this more often?
I really wasn't into the love story, but everything else in the movies was perfect. Doug Jones proved he could act under all that makeup, and Seth MacFarlane was superb comic relief in the sequel as an obnoxious living gas cloud. (Hm. Typecasting.)
Shame about the reboot.
