Dracula

[Jonj1611]

Anyone watch it last night? Thought it was really good and well made, strangely comical in places. Well worth a watch

[Smudger]

Watched Dr Who late, so this is taped for viewing tonight, trailers look quite good...

[Jonj1611]

It was a lot better than I expected, reviews are good for it too

This is the BBC one? My wife doesn't do horror so if its not scary we'll give it a go. Otherwise will watch solo. Bit stuck on stuff to watch together, the witcher is something I want to try as I like the books.

After reading the term 'taped' i realised I still have a VCR invisibly under my sky box but the tapes went quite a long time ago!

[Jonj1611]

There are some gory bits in it to be honest.

[Phage]

Gory and a bit silly. I rather liked it.
Like the wolves attacking the nuns in the background whilst the Count enjoys a little sit down

2nd one seemed to start without explaining what happened at end of the 1st one. Unless I missed something.

Van Helsing was obvious character from her questioning and knowledge in the 1st on but felt she was more of a narrator at start of the 2nd one.

They way the 2nd one was going made me feel it was going to tell story over several series but the end made a very good twist which I wasn’t surprised by coming from the writers. Bodes well for future series as I can see BBC trying to cash in on things like this, Sherlock, Dark Materials etc.

[Jonj1611]

The 2nd one tells you what happens at the end of the 1st one about 20 minutes into it

[mattykhz]

Sometimes the back and forth loses me.

Watched the first of these earlier, will see how it goes

I'm really enjoying it - looking forward to part 3 tonight.

Dolly Well is doing a fantastic job as Van Helsing in particular, excellent character.

[Jonj1611]

Co wrote by Steven Moffat, please come back to Dr Who!

[Jonj1611]

Hmmmmmmm well I thoroughly enjoyed that but the ending was a bit meh, wasn't what I was expecting but nevermind overall an enjoyable watch

[Spud1]

I enjoyed most of that last episode. I didnt enjoy the "legal bit" at the start - I get they needed a way for him to get out, but I thought that it was a bit silly, given how semi-realistic they had tried to be all along, in other ways I don't think the characters would really let it happen that way (deliberately a bit cryptic there in case someone hasnt seen it yet!).

I got over that bit quickly though an just enjoyed the rest of it. Good show, sad it's over but Ithink they did the right thing to make it just 3 episodes, otherwise you risk turning it into a lucifer style serial where every episode int he middle is nearly identical.

[mattykhz]

And the rest of the gaps from end of Part One were in Part 3.....

Thought it would go on for longer than 3 episodes during Part 2 as not even reached England etc but twist made up for that and seemed a bit hurried in Part 3 introducing Renfield and Lucy characters.

But then second series could happen seeing as they like twists and who knows Episode 3 events could be a dream for all we know.

I haven't a clue what was going on at the end...

And at this point, I'm not sure I want to know, it is unlikely to make it any less confusing.
