A review by mizzelle
Dark Shadows: Bloodline Volume 01 (Episodes 1-6) by Aaron Lamont, Alan Flanagan, Will Howells, Rob Morris

4.0

This is Big Finish's followup to their successful "Bloodlust" serial. Released twice weekly, "Dark Shadows: Bloodline" is a soap opera tradition of everyone coming back to town for a wedding and everything going wrong. This being Collinsport, the "wrong" usually involves the supernatural, although it's not quite clear who is responsible this time around. I don't think "Bloodline" stands alone quite as well as "Bloodlust" with all the new players around. I do love hearing the original cast members and seeing how they interact with the new ones. I can't help being intrigued by the return of my namesake Dr. Julia Hoffman, played now by Julie Newmar. And as someone that adored "Blood and Fire", I liked the questions about David's nature. Did he inherit any supernatural abilities from his mother? Is he having second thoughts about marrying Amy?

Say one thing: The twist at the end of episode 6 was quite impressive.
