    It's a shame that the season finale is awful, because the first episode of Dracula is fanf---ingtastic.

    To call his retelling tedious is understating the problem. ... Laggardly scripting also obscures performances that might otherwise win over the audience. ... [Dolly] Wells’ Agatha is the first episode's saving grace. She gets some of the funniest lines and delivers them with a dry, peppery mien that gives one hope that she’ll survive.

After Hammer's Christopher Lee, I didn't expect to find another Dracula worth of my time, but I'm glad I was proven wrong. Netflix, please give the Witcher to BBC for a reboot.… Full Review »

It has equal parts charm, wit, and fright, and manages the tricky task of paying homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula while making the story feel exciting and contemporary. Nicely done.… Full Review »
