Title: Really Bad
Product review: We knew when we rented this show it really had nothing in common with the original Dark Shadows, of which we are great fans. In fact, it really had nothing in common but the name. Burton's character development was very poor and the show really amounted to a slapstick version of what was really a serious show. A pity for Depp -- at times he can be a great actor. I pretty much knew all this from watching the trailers, but my family wanted to see it so I caved in and watched it. None of the actors bear any relationship to the original characters.Really a shame, IMHO. The original series is ripe for a retro movie and it could be done really well by a competent team of producers. One star for me.
