The Black Dagger Brotherhood is a new TV series on Passionflix, based on J.R. Ward’s popular paranormal romance novels. The series follows a society of vampire warriors as they fight to protect their race from the Lessers. The first season, based on the book Dark Lover, centers on Wrath, the unwilling King of the Vampires, and his mission to protect Darius’s half-breed daughter, Beth.
They attempted to maintain a certain stylized, mysterious aesthetic. This, combined with the fact that vampires are night creatures, results in scenes with dim lighting and artificial colors.
That’s really a shame, because it “coulda been a contenda.” The scene above probably would have looked something like this if they hadn’t fucked with it. (Of course, I had to guess which colors to use, so I tinkered around and picked what I liked best. That’s why my pics don’t match.)
