NBC's Dracula

Golden Globe winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("The Tudors") stars in this provocative new drama as one of the world's most iconic characters. It's the late 19th century, and the mysterious Dracula has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. He's especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night - useful for someone who avoids the sun. But he has another reason for his travels: he hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier. Everything seems to be going according to plan... until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife. From the producers of the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning hit "Downton Abbey" comes "Dracula," a twisted, sophisticated and sexy take on Bram Stoker's classic novel, proving that some stories never die.

The finale will be aired on Friday. Anyone else watching this show? I'm really enjoying it so far. The story is pretty good and I like some of the changes they've made to certain characters.

Watched first two eps it was dragging stopped watching it.

 

[EVILFACE]

Tried watching one episode and it wasn't interesting at all.

 

[Batty]

I didn't even know it was on.

Absolutely love this show. The first two episodes were a bit slow, but it really picked up at the third and I've been hooked since.

The show is way too good to be on NBC.

Same here.

Wow, what a finale. Van Hellsing really takes no prisoners.

Spoiler

We all know he'd kill Browning but to turn his kids into vampires and let them feed on him was pretty brutal. I didn't expect to see him turn on Dracula like that either. They weren't friends by any means but to destroy the serum, kill Renfield and the team up with Harker, can't say I was that coming.

Am I the only one who thinks

Spoiler

Dracula was unfair to Lucy? I understand that he was angry at her for sleeping with Jonathan. But to say 'that if she insists on behaving like a monster, I'm going to make you one' was a bit over the top. I would hardly call Lucy a monster. Besides it takes two to tango. Jonathan was hardly innocent. In fact, I'd say that he betrayed Dracula more yet he got no punishment for his behaviour.

I watched the first 2 episodes and couldn't get into it enough to keep going. The show was a little boring and just seemed to be missing something. I don't know if it's been renewed for another season or cancelled because I don't know anyone that watches it and haven't seen anything about it in the media. I'd give it another shot if the season got more exciting, especially if it will be on another season.

I watch the show and it gets a little better as it goes along. Still haven't seen the last two ep.

Sets and costume look amazing and it's filmed well, The story though does drag, I want more vampire hunting and less wireless power generator stuff.
Also love seeing Merlin's Katie McGrath again.
I hope the show gets renewed.

Holy ****. What a fantastic finale.

"His name... is Dracula"

Hopefully some of you who thought the first few episodes were boring decide to give the rest of the season a chance. I certainly didn't expect it to get this good.

Please give us a second season. Please give us a second season.

My thoughts exactly.

I really enjoyed this show. Thought it was 100 times better then Sleepy Hollow (classic with a twist)!

I doubt there will be a second season.

 

[The Ween]

I would've liked this show if someone else was playing the lead role. Ugh......he is awful as Dracula!

Very....but to each their own.

Mother ****ers cancelled it. This sucks. Was easily my favorite new show introduced last fall.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Bleep me! I was hoping this would be saved. One of my favorite shows from last year as well.

And sadly, that means no more Jessica De Gouw.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

The finale really set up a season 2 perfectly, with Van Helsing vowing to kill Dracula and taking in Harker as his apprentice. So disappointed.

 

[SixMillionDollarMan Guy]

Agreed on the apprentice angle.

Loved the Old London set designs and period dresses as well.

I thought Jonathan Rhys Meyers portrayal as the brooding yet brutal Dracula was brilliant. Damn shame.

 

[Yodasodabo]

Oh c'mon... Didn't a bunch of shows get cancelled? Can't think of them right now but I know "Revolution" was one.
