How this season is filed

Filed by Rex Fontaine · Golden Age Dispatch

Linda Hamilton's Catherine falls for Ron Perlman's Vincent in a candlelit tunnel-world under Manhattan — gothic fairy tale as primetime romance, with production design that cost real money. Then Hamilton left, Catherine died, and the fandom never quite forgave the rewrite. Take the first two seasons as a complete love story; treat season three as aftermath.
