5.0 out of 5 stars 1897 Saga Continues, October 11, 2004

By	Chal (Colorado) - See all my reviews

There is a lot going at ol' Collinwood in this DVD set! Laura Collins wants her children, Barnabus is determined to find Laura's secret, Quentin becomes a werewolf, and a rogue vampire gives Barnabus some competition! Grayson Hall has a blast playing Magda and Roger Davis gets to go nuts (instead of the boring good guy). There are so many sub-plots in this one it's hard to keep track and some characters (like Angelique) get squeezed out. But the story line moves quickly, and I finished watching the set much sooner than I usually do. NOW I have to wait until Thanksgiving for the next set. It's always worth the wait!

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage TV , Daytime Gothic drama, January 9, 2007

By	Ann Songbird "Songbird" (Fremont, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Storyline keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can't wait to get to the next episode. There are some bloopers you catch sometimes, but that's live TV for you. All in all, wonderful acting, exciting characters and really brings back a lot of wonderful memories of watching it as a young teenager.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good storyline but doesn't feel enough like DS, November 12, 2004

By	Ned (USA) - See all my reviews

DS started off about being about Victoria Winters and her attempt to find her roots in Collinsport, Maine. Later it became about a vampire named Barnabas who is romantically fascinated with Victoria. By the 1897 storyline Vicki's gone.
