Oh - the other 'actor' thing I was going to mention is that the guy who plays Jake reminds me far less of Boreanaz, and far more of Fred from the Scooby Doo cartoon of the 70s. Although I think that mostly has to do with his lantern jaw and mop of blond hair.
The romance stuff mostly falls flat for me too, but I do think the show does its horror elements pretty well.
And Lando is sort of interesting casting. I assumed, from what I'd seen, that Blackwell would be this seductive/sinister/menacing type, but Lando comes across as nicer and almost kind of harmless. Which, I guess, will be very deceptive if he is a villain.
