Season 1 Review: Dracula is exhaustingly, confusingly silly, and deadly dull, to boot, which is one thing Dracula has seldom been. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Strip away the name and this is the story of a man trying to tear apart an oil monopoly, which makes Dracula every bit as scary and sexy as the Sherman Antitrust Act. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Dracula is meant to be powerful and alluring, but this version of him feels stilted and withdrawn. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Dracula features solid performances from the principals, lovely lighting, and evocative cinematography. Shame it's so thoroughly, utterly, irredeemably potty. Read full review

Slant MagazineChris CabinOct 14, 2013
Season 1 Review: Underneath the shallow brooding, everything feels like build-up to a massive climactic event, every maneuver directed, written, and acted as if it were yet another crucial move toward some terribly violent, bad end. The tactic is meant to drum up suspense, which it doesn't do particularly well, and the series loses any sense of humanity, shirking the very pulse of life the titular vampire hungers for.

Season 1 Review: Not funny enough to be campy, not smart enough to be serious, NBC's Dracula is an incomprehensible mishmash in period costumes. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Dracula lacks wit, style, surprise--and, most important, bite. Read full review
