1. Someone with an excessive, pathetic allegience to an organization or person, usually a boss. A boot-licking toady will unflinchingly cater to his master's every wish irrespective of propriety, other people's feelings, or even ethics.

2. A bobbleheaded sycophant.
3. A mini-me brownnoser.

However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
