Van Helsing is a post-apocalyptic vampire series. A massive volcanic eruption darkens Earth's skies for three years allowing the hidden vampire population to emerge and decimate/enslave humanity.

We start three years after the event. Marine Sgt Axel Miller (Jonathan Scarfe) is the last in his detachment guarding a hospital where sleeping beauty, aka Vanessa (Kelly Overton), has been unconscious since he arrived three years ago with orders to protect her until relieved. Axel's other companion is Doc (Rukiya Bernard), a medical examiner working at the hospital who was bitten and is now a vampire locked up in the medicine storage area.

Things start happening. Survivors arrive. Vanessa wakes up. Turns out she has anti-vampire powers: she heals quickly, can't be turned and her blood turns vampires back to human. All she wants is to get out and look for her daughter clashing with Axel's desire to keep her alive. Meanwhile the new survivors destabilize the situation then another group of survivors arrive and there are betrayals and people on people violence.

Eventually they leave the hospital and start having adventures...

This is one of those series where anybody can die and everybody has their own motives, sometimes at cross-purposes. The concept is loosely based on Van Helsing comic book from Zenescope and that would have been a cooler series (more 4-color superhero like) but I guess this way is more Walking Dead style.

The first season is 13 episodes and it's mostly ok. I got kind of tired of everyone being evil or dying and Vanessa is not really a shining example of someone I can root for. In the end I think one season is all I can stand.
