Is anyone else tired of vampires?
I just feel like the whole vampire thing has been done for at least a decade and they just aren't that interesting anymore.

I've never really been into that genre in general (or supernatural / fantasy stuff more broadly), and I'm not sure I've even seen any vampire-themed content since Interview with the Vampire (funnily enough, in spite of me never having been a vampire or Anne Rice fan, I did buy a bottle of wine once called Cuvée Lestat, and her husband had done the painting for the label) ... I skipped over the Twilight stuff for instance because I didn't think it would be interesting at all ...
... but in the last month I gave the 3-season AMC series (via Netflix) A Discovery of Witches a try, and aside from season 2 spending a lot of time in 1590 (zzzzzz), I largely liked this series and thought it was an interesting take / spin on the genre (it deals with the interactions between witches, vampires, and demons, and even goes into something like genetics, and dispenses with some vampire tropes like not being able to be out in sunlight as myth created by humans) ... which in turn led me to learn how funny of a guy Matthew Goode is (in bloopers from the show and another UK series The Wine Show)
