The Plot Podcast during Hallowe\u2019en Month at When It Was Cool goes from tongue in cheek to deadly earnest. We\u2019re joined by Odessa Steps Magazine contributor Justin Jones (@xPrimusPilusx) to discuss one of his all-time favorite TV shows, 1998\u2019s Ultraviolent. The British show, written and directed by Joe Aherne, stars Jack Davenport, Susannah Harker, Philip Quast and a young Idris Elba as a team trying to fight the good fight against \u2026 well, they call them Code V\u2019s or leeches, but those monsters who want our blood to stay alive. We discuss how we both found the show here in the early 2000s, the premise of the show, and what we love about it. Since there are only six episodes, we discuss each one in detail, so spoilers ahoy. We rave about the quality writing and acting on display, some of our favorite scenes and more. It\u2019s a Valentine in October to a program I often describe as \u201cThe X-Files and Blade fight Vampires.\u201d
