Netflix’s much-debated ‘Dracula’ is latest in long TV bloodline

I just knew he wouldn't be able resist somehow bringing DS into things...

Netflix's 'Dracula' Makes Him 'a Fully Rounded Inhuman Being'
‘The challenge was putting Dracula at the center of the story, says EP Steven Moffat.

Believe it or not (though you probably will believe it), I haven't got back to watch Parts 2 & 3 yet...

I watched it. Well, I tried. Most of the time it was on while I did other things. I did watch the first part. The second part I did some fast forwarding and part three was FF'ing and sleeping. I fell asleep twice while trying to watch the conclusion. I am going to go back to it to see how it ends. Oh, wait. I just remembered. Good, now I don't have to. Needless to say, I really didn't enjoy it enough to actually watch it. I found some aspects interesting but after part one I knew I couldn't watch in earnest. I  may read up on it to figure out what was really going on between him and Harker and Vanhelsing. I guess Dracula isn't supposed to be likeable but I didn't like the character at all (what I saw of him). Maybe I  will rewatch the 2nd and 3rd parts to see if he becomes at all likeable.

Finally watched parts 2 & 3 in earnest. I didn't walk away, fast forward or sleep this time. I didn't have to, it held my interest. The best I can say is that it was an interesting take. I'm not a Dracula connoisseur so most of it seemed like a fresh take to me, which is what made it hold my interest (the 2nd time around). You'll never find it on a favorites list of mine. My favorite thing about it was that Dracula came across as a human with a disease as opposed to a monster. And funny as it seems, it's what made the character so especially repulsive (unlikable) to me. I guess a vampire without a conscience is not my cup of tea anymore.  Damn you, Barnabas Collins!

3 out of 5 stars.

Looking forward to your final review, MB.

Believe it or not (though you will believe it) I haven't gotten back to finish this. At this point, I'll need to start over again from the beginning.

But there is this:

TV's Best, Worst and Most of 2020 (Part 1) - Biggest Acting Revelation (Drama) Dolly Wells, Dracula

She is wonderful!
