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.

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.

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 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.
