Watched first episode of Dracula. Fucking awful. Lack of build up in any tension whatsoever is shocking. I love Bram Stokers book and this pissed all over it.

I've yet to watch Dracula.

Anyone watch Dark on Netflix. Top class show. Typical Netflix, sort of like Stranger Things but weirder and darker.

Two out of three aint bad...? I really enjoyed the first two episodes of Dracula, the third one,  for me, was a mess. Really disappointed with the end. I love the book and am very fond of some of Mark Gatiss' stuff but it just limped to a finish. Still nothing can beat Murnau's Nosferatu.
At least they showed "What we do in the shadows" afterwards.

The ending to Dracula - not entirely satisfactory, but certainly not dreadful. I think the guy who plays Drac carries it a lot, as well as Frau Helsing - they both have really good chemistry.

Watching episode 1 now.  It looks cool enough I think although a more skeletal,  Nosferatu looking Dom Dracul would be creepier.  Decent atmosphere so far.

Actually,  I think this Dracula is pretty cool since he has become more powerful.

Just finished it there and overall I enjoyed it but the first episode is by far the strongest, I'd have loved more of that creepy gothic type atmosphere. I was even grand with most of episode 3 which seems to be the most divisive, up until the ending that is; complete and utter wank.

Interested in seeing what the issues is with the end because the end of the book is shite too  :laugh:

Not mad about the end either, though the 3rd episode I did think was good otherwise, but looking at the whole picture I thought it was great. Episode 2 in particular was fantastic. i'd happily watch more.

Yep,  I enjoyed it.  Defo had a touch of Sherlock about it,  particularly the third episode,  but it was enjoyable nonsense.

Enjoyed it up until the end of episode 2.. then as stated already it goes into sherlock holmes mode and I couldn't sit through the rest of the episode at normal pass and just skipped along.

I'm definitely in the minority then as I watched the first episode and couldn't take any more. For me it was they could have created way more tension but went for the jugular way too quick and cheapened it.

"Went for the jugular"

:laugh:


I got it but I wasn't giving you the nod out of principal  :P
