O Jovem Drácula

a nice comedy series about a too old subject. smart, amusing, reflecting cultural references and using the long tradition about the exotic stranger who looks be the ordinary citizen, it is a pretty entertainment and that virtue is not small. because, in a society who transforms the vampires in a cool trend, this children series represents a kind of oasis , for the fine irony, for the alternative story and for the reflection of the needs and expectations of young Dracula in middle of his strange family. a film adapted to young public with humor and the spirit of old good comedy spirit. and that fact is the good point. short, a real good series.for entire family, about a classic theme in new terms, with a clever script and good acting.

When I found season 1 and 2 of Young Dracula at the Library I said: "wow! this is going to be so cool!" So I got it straight away! And when I was in the car I was determined to see it.So I got home very quickly!!!When I was watching season 1 I found it very interesting!And I always say: Never judge a DVD/book by its cover!(Even though I loved the cover)! And then I watched season 2 and "the chosen one"(Vlad)Makes it very interesting!And from then on it was my favorite movie! I was so determined to find season 3 in the Library! And after 2 weeks I found it!It was SO interesting!I request you should watch it !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sophie (7 years old)

This show is a great example of a low-budget success. It has great writing and the delivery of lines by the actors is priceless. The story revolves around the son of Count Dracula. His name is Vlad. He has a sister(Ingrid) and they must integrate into human society with Vlad and Ingrid going to a regular school. Van Helsing is a teacher at the school and tries to expose the Count at all costs. Vlad does not want to become a vampire but his sister is deeply into her family heritage. Unfortunately for her tradition dictates Vlad will take over the family one day. Count Dracula is one of the main reasons to watch this show. To see him in his naturally evil surroundings and trying to raise his kids is brilliant. Not to mention parent/teacher meetings. This show is great fun and it goes to show you don't need a massive budget to pull off great television viewing.

The first three seasons are a campy and fun family-friendly comedy similar to American TV series' The Munsters and The Addams Family. The show is enjoyable if it is not taken seriously. There are silly plots and odd camera angles.

After a short hiatus, the show returned in season four with a much darker and serious approach. The cast of supporting characters got much more intriguing in the final two seasons. Which approach is better depends on one's personal preference, but both are well done.

One thing all five seasons have in common is the unfortunate sexist approach to female characters, especially Clare Thomas's Ingrid. She is constantly denigrated specifically for being "a girl." This might have started off as a running joke, but it became a primary theme of the show.

started watching this program because my 10 year old daughter put it on,now its me that watches it and she just ignores it,they are showing repeats on BBC,the new series 4 should start in the autumn.Keith lee castle who plays the count is a really good actor and a dish/eye candy for the mums,and the children in it are excellent,a very good cast and story line.we have been past the locations were it was filmed in series 3 unfortunately not while they were there.hoping they will be showing more locations in series 4 as indicated on you tube.really hoping they will be putting the other 3 series on DVD really soon.i think the show would appeal to a mixed age group.
