Apocalypse Anarchy: As the vampiric plague spreads, New York collapses into chaos, with multiple scenes of looting used to demonstrate this. It gets worse in Season 2, as on top of the looting and violence, there are numerous fires shown to be burning out of control at any given point, and things get so bad that the city ultimately declares martial law.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Adaptation Expansion: Jim Kent, a fairly minor character from the books is played by Sean Astin and given a wife. He's still The Mole and he still gets killed.

comment
Adapted Out: The story of Ozryel (aka The Angel of Death) from the novels is omitted from the show. In fact, the Master and the strigoi's origins are never really explored in the show at all.

Adaptational Heroism: In Season 3, Eldritch Palmer forms a secret alliance with Setrakian, and eventually openly turns against the Master and Eichhorst. He never does this in the books. Also, in Season 2, Fitzwilliam sides with Setrakian over Palmer. In the books, Fitzwilliam never leaves Palmer's side.

By Season 3, the only parts of the city not reduced to scavengers fighting over the remaining supplies are the ones being run like a Police State.
