Somehow I thought you'd had seen it already. Is right your alley.
Yeah, I had been meaning to watch it for a long time, yet never got around to do it until yesterday. 
It seems to me that the show recycles plenty of material from the movie, right? Besides the tone, that is.
Not sure about that. I mean, the concept and idea are the same, and there are some ideas here and there (the werewolf pack), but the movie focuses more on the vampire's
daily nightly life and everyday situations, while the show so far has flashier "vampires doing vampire things" plots (take over the
world Staten Island! Fight werewolves!). I liked that the first episodes didn't seem to borrow much from the movie regarding actual situations/jokes.
Wouldn't be surprised if more stuff from the movie appears in later episodes though.
