I'm fairly sure they're about to run out of shows soon :/ so they'll probably start into reruns. If you can catch it that way, you'll be fine, otherwise, I'd say yeah, you should probably wait and mainline it on DVD. It's a far more arc-intensive show than it might seem from the premise of "vampire private investigator." (it's not really like Angel, I should mention, despite the similarity of premise).
Honestly, it's not a great show, and the first few eps before they finalized their writing staff are a bit iffy (though I wouldn't say they're missable, because they set up the mythology). But it's grown on me a lot. Storylines I thought would take them a season or two to get to, they're doing NOW, halfway through the season. They're not dragging things out, y'know? And the two leads have settled into their characters over time. I'm really glad the network gave them a chance to grow.
BTW, you need to have a bit of tolerance for the noir-ish voice over (it bugs me occasionally). I think that factor alone makes it a show not for everyone. *g*
Let's put it this way, it's a show I could write fanfic about -- I don't fic 'perfect' shows, I fic fun shows with flaws... :)
