IMO, this is a good story - a rear example of a decent gecko ending.
Story...
A vampire working for a human organisation rescues and recruits a young police woman whilst maintaing composure; facing off against vampire threats for his human master.
This could have followed a number of cliche's, such as; the 'tough guy' looking after the 'little girl', which I half expected, as I for one have seen too many cases of a 'vampire guy' taking a shine to the impressionable young girl, but no; the girl is undergoing a learning experience, yet still establishes herself, she was already motivated in her career, doesn't cling on to the main and simply does her job.
What stands out about this story is it's formality; the mains are always busy, they don't hang around eachother when they don't need to, character progression is importiant and enough information is left to the imagination to leave the viewer interested in the 'Hellsing' franchise in general.
Art...
Nice - dark and mellow, plenty of gothic scenery (the scenery changes enough) and great visuals in motion.
Characters...
The characters are generally great - the likeable mystery 'cool' supernatural male, the 'masculine; organisation leader, the skilled and knowledgeful butler and the hard working not-so-clueless rookie to the situation - all pretty likeable indivuals who receive reasonable spotlight.
Decent characters don't simply stop with those who headline, it would be easy to smply focus on the mains, yet numerous characters get their fair share of attention; the dodgy news reader, Victoria previous team, the snipper teacher who worked alongside Victoria, Integra's army - pretty much minors; they have some place within the story and we get to view the what the main(s) think of them.
Enjoyment...
I personally enjoyed this series as it's characters were pleasant; they didn't fit the 'typical' character traits we come across regular and their stories were put forward in a suttle manner.
Furthermore, we aren't spoonfeed information the average viewer could otherwise figure out on thier own.
Overall...
Definately worth the watch - a short series with its fair share of action, mellow drama and well developed characters.
