The "dead character" is part of the supernatural world and it isn't cheesy at all to include it here. What I really like is that this isn't a True Blood (If you're not watching it you should be.) style of supernatural story telling. I think I'll really enjoy this show.
Eva Green is creepy as #### as well.

Thanks for the question my friend and to tell you the truth, i guess i just wasn't expecting the show to turn into a kind of fairy tale/fable/lore type show. I thought it was going to be entirely original and actually it didn't even occur to me at the time of watching when the naked guy is sitting in ice with electrodes on his head that it could have anything to do with Frankenstein, lol.
I saw only one preview for the show and i was completely hooked so I didn't watch another one after. The title of the show never meant anything to me so while i rolled my eyes at the time, its not to say i was disappointed or thought it was cheesy but I guess represents how unaware I personally was for the Frankenstein name drop, lol. I'm still very much willing to see where the show takes me.
Only since you brought it up but in my opinion, the first three season of True Blood were absolutely amazing but each season after, has been a steady decline of absurdity with the nudity/sex scenes doing little more then stopping me from FF to watch it until the actual show starts up again.
