Dracula

[Dipsydoodle]

Anyone tuning in tonight? I'm quite excited!

Oh I just finished watching and saying how amazing it was and come on here and everyone thinks it's shite

Fab. Loved it. Unpredictable, well acted, stretched the imagination. Not corny or dull or cliched or pointless if "oooh sex". Well done bbc.

I’ll definitely read it

I will watch the Mark G show another time.

Awww...still loving that ending. I thought it would be full on revenge and him still cursed to live forever.

I did enjoy it. And I liked the way Renfield and Lucy were brought into a modern storyline. I'm undecided about the ending..... romantic, but was it really in character for Dracula?

Well I bloody loved the whole thing and have been googling images of Bang whatshisface.

Would a man with a 500 year old fear of death really suddenly embrace it like that?

There were flashes of brilliance in the last episode but, on the whole, it was dire. It just didn't flow properly or work as part of the story.

Still, it answers the question about a Series 2 I guess.

I did think it would be left open and we’d see Dracula walking the streets of London, just killing the unsavouries (in readiness for a series)

V impressed that it was closed off.

Do you think there is any relevance to the a to a name. I just thought zoe was an odd fit of a name

“ Would a man with a 500 year old fear of death really suddenly embrace it like that?”

——

But would anyone really fear death forever? Or 500 years!

So was the character of Arthur Holmwood skipped or did i miss him?

Danish people are pretty aren’t they

Fuck me it’s slow watching on catch up.

Re Claes Would Bang, I didn’t realise how attractive he was till his first sex scene in the Affair. And I was surprised. Great acting. His character was such an arse.

Dracula did for 500 years!

I think Mads Mikkelsen would have made another great Danish Dracula too.

The vampire emoji cracked me up 🧛🏻‍♂️

Holmwood is Lucy's rich fiancee, isn't he?

Yes but in this shes engaged to Quincy

Ah, I guess so.

Was her GBF called Arthur?

I loved the whole thing too. Just very different and adored the characters of Dracula and Agatha. I agree Lucy Westenra was annoying but I think she's supposed to be. The original character was annoying too- I remember the version in the Gary Oldman version being irritating. I'm actually quite pleased Mina was not seen again after the 1st episode and agree with Dracula's dismissal of her as "insipid and flavourless". The whole thing was really just a bonkers fanfic re-write of the Dracula story. (And well-written fanfic is a treat, not something to be scoffed at).

This documentary is a nice little jolly for Mark Gatiss isn't it?

Loved it, no apologies.

Highly recommend watching the Mark Gatiss documentary, though every time I hear Bela Lugosi mentioned I think of this - skip forward to 1:52 😁
