Drácula

They had me at Sister Agatha! True wit genius ! I find it rather odd that all the extreme negative reviews runs a similar streak of personal vendetta rather than a moderate assessment of any good, fair or bad show expected. Truly strange indeed. I love good horror movies and shows but I sincerely cannot sense this series deserved such extreme hatred for not being a purist reflection of its original master adaptation. It was fun enough to watch and in the immortal words of another beast, this show was truly, "Marvelous, Hugely entertaining and there was no COLLUSION frOm Ukraine.. Ahem.. Aka. TRANSYLVANIA!" Lighten up haters. It's 2020. Give it a rest already and smell the blood red roses, will ya? 🙏🌹😜

Claes Bang is absolutely delicious as Dracula, I really liked him in the part and Dolly Wells just brilliant as Agata Van Helsing.

Episode one had me gripped, episode 2 was brilliant, except had the unwelcome wiff of the BBC fitting it's agendas in, but episode 3, as others have mentioned and I wanted to test, was indeed an absolute train wreck. Not only did it completely fail the first two, it was almost a different programme and the BBC, of course, got their agendas in there. Just awful, with a rotten ending to finish it. Watch the first two, don't ruin it with the third.

10/10 for the first two, 0 for the third.

Where do I begin, without giving too much away?

I believe a good place would be to say that never did I think a show would pin me to the screen without ever wanting to move during the entirety of each of the first two episodes the way Dracula does. Breaking Bad is the only series to have done the same, and consistently.

I am amazed so far by Dracula. (And I almost hate saying that as I don't want to over hype it).

For a while now, the ratings on IMDB make me shake my head. Dracula is no different. The fact that it only has a 7.1 is unbelievable to me. This should be THE new show to watch. It almost leaves me at a loss for words with how good it is - for those who enjoy a highly intelligent script; extremely witty dialogue; great twists; a fast, forwardly-moving story (despite its slow-to-steady, almost delicious pacing, you'll understand what I mean if you watch it); fantastic acting; charismatic and sometimes quirky characters; and so much more! The only thing I can imagine is that perhaps people rated it based only on the first 20-30 minutes or so, which indeed are a little slow, in which case I would suggest they watch more and come back and re-rate; OR that some people have a problem with the subject matter. Well, that should tell you something. See, it is, simply, Dracula redone ... but REDONE SO WELL that it is raising hackles and disturbing those that don't understand this magnificent, bloody, especially clever piece of art.

Well done, creators! Bravo!

WATCH IT.

Edit: Lowered score due to the ending. The first 2/3 (two-thirds) were MAGNIFICENT. The rest felt uneven.

First episode maintains a gothic vibe and the second holds up well to that. the third episode is an absolute DOOSEY and does not hold up at all compared to the other two.

It was fantastic for the first 2 seasons, well written, brilliantly acted and amazing direction...that being said the 3rd episode was atrocious, clearly pandering for the urban youth, the current London setting, the adulterous storyline, it was like a really bad episode of black mirror, the fearless youth "not scared of anything" ridiculous notion, it could have been infinitely more, they could have cut the nonsense youth side cast out completely and focused on Draculas journey in the new world, a real shame as while it takes up about 20% of the 3rd episode its knocked its score from a solid 9 to an average 5.
