Drácula

First off if you are looking for a traditional version of Dracula then don't watch this one. I thought this was well written and the lead characters were exceptional Claus Bang in particular was great as the main character. All round a great show there are reviews on here scoring 1/10 don't let them put you off judge for yourself it might not be everybody's cup of tea but it made good viewing and was well worth it.

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.

The first episode was excellent and I was gladly went into episode 2. There were some (what seemed to me) extreme liberties taken, and I was still on board at that point. Ok, I don't mind a little deviation, let's see how it goes. Then episode 3 started and I was in full disbelief the whole time. They must have gotten David Benioff, D.B. Weiss to write that one.

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.
