Peacock’s Forgotten 10-Part Horror Fantasy Series Still Deserves a Revival

To paraphrase Jane Austen, that prominent scholar of social dynamics, it’s a truth universally acknowledged that vampires and teen dramas go together like bread and butter. Wrap universal coming-of-age experiences inside a glossy sheen of supernatural-fantasy metaphors and forbidden romances, make sure the melodramatic narrative stakes echo the heightened emotional turmoil that accompanies adolescence, and give the escapism an earnestly heartfelt, even subversively groundbreaking, edge — time and again, these stories appeal across all decades and age demographics.
