    Dracula (BBC drama)

    Well, I have mixed feelings about the first episode. I'm enjoying some of it but the feeling of Dracula sounding (& acting) more like a London geezer, than a European nobleman just grates with me...

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    1st Episode - First half slow, second half better
    2nd Episode - Generally pretty good
    3rd Episode - Mostly messy plot and paper thin characters for a daft ending

    Not recommended then overall? Nothing a horror fan won't have already seen?

    Overall no... If the third episode hasn't been such tosh, then yes...

    That was my assessment. However, as bad as the 3rd episode is, I do not regret the time spent watching it.
