I almost gave up after the first episode, where it started quite strong and ended up getting a little tedious. However, I stuck with it and episode two was by far the stand out section, almost entirely taking place on Dracula's voyage to England on the ship Demeter. We got a nice and slow character piece while Drac methodically offed everyone on the cruise!
Part three was not what I was expecting at all, this is where it steps clearly into Sherlock territory and I enjoyed it's boldness. Mark Gattiss even gives himself a nice cameo appearance.
Anyway, I've been watching this all day ( 4 and half hours), and I'm tired! It was enjoyable but a little bit uneven. It's got some nice gory bits in it though, it's pretty sexy as well, and it seems just a little bit gay, but I'm OK with that! | I have this to watch myself, i just don't know when. |
