Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I’m your host Deffinition and with Dracula now dropping on Netflix it’s time to breakdown everything that you need to know about the limited series.
After the show premiered on the BBC earlier in the week it’s had the internet in an uproar and throughout this video we’ll be discussing all of the overall plot, the meaning of it’s final few scenes and the easter eggs that you may have missed.
Dracula Plot Recap
Ok so Dracula initially starts as a rough adaptation of the Bram Stoker source material before it veers off massively towards the end. Each episode is set around a key figure in the storyline that recaps the events of their episode.
Initially we are introduced to Jonathan Harker in 1897 who recounts his time at Count Dracula’s castle to two sisters.
These two sisters become key figures in the first entry and it’s revealed that one of them is Jonathan’s fiance and that the other is Van Helsing.
The former has been brought in because Jonathan has had pretty much his memory drained from him as well as his life force though he is able to discuss his time with Dracula in great detail. Van Helsing on the other hand has lost her faith, however after hearing the tale that Jonathan provides, she slowly begins to recapture it and we watch as this transforms her belief system throughout the show.
In the beginning, though we follow Jonathan as he arrives at the castle where he is met by a very frail and weak old Dracula. However, throughout the first episode Dracula Benjamin Buttons his way back to the prime of his life whilst Jonathan deteriorates rapidly.
From the off the show oozes it’s own unique style that updates the legend massively. In addition to this there is of course the gender switch with Van Helsing as well as hints that Dracula may be bi-sexual.
This sent some corners of the internet into an uproar, however Stephen Moffat who helped develop the show stated that Dracula isn’t bisexual, he’s bihomicidal. The writer later went on to say:
“He’s killing them, not dating them. He’s not actually having sex with anyone. He’s drinking their blood.”
The way I looked at it is that when humans eat meat we don’t really care about the gender that we’re consuming. If you’re straight you don’t care about whether your steak is male or female and this is mirrored in Dracula who consumes all.
Dracula is able to take on the intellect of those he consumes and he picks up Jonathan’s English skills whilst draining him. He can take a persons memories and intimate details about their life and thus he gains more knowledge the more that he feasts. He later refers to this as downloading. This also adds motive for why he wishes to travel to England as he views the population as sophisticated and thinks that this will refine his taste.
It’s a really unique take on one of our civilisations oldest villains and in this first episode Dracula really caught my attention.
Jonathan discovers a message carved into a window one night that says ‘help me’ and he begins searching for the lost soul.
The castle itself is an inescapable fortress full of twists and turns and as he delves deeper into it he discovers more of what is going on beneath the surface.
Dracula 2020 Ending Explained Spoiler Talk Review
Now this is where the show takes probably the biggest turn from the source material and after she proves to Dracula that sunlight cannot harm him she slowly begins to deconstruct his psychology.
Dracula is a coward that has been afraid of death his entire life, possibly because all of his ancestors died in combat on the battlefield.

The reference to a Doctor Holmwood, one of the 3 suitors of Lucy. Dracula and Sister Agatha are sitting in what looks like a wine room- you could claim it is a nod to the real text where he calls one of his victims, Mina, a "bountiful wine press." Also Dracula states, " what did you want me to do for 4 weeks, sit in a box?" Which, in the book he travels in a box of his earth on the Demeter.

Two reasons why the time jump was inevitable: 1) Moffat got to Moffat. Moffat always eventfully goes into “clever mode” which leads to ideas like this. 2) Expenses. It’s cheaper to set things on modern day than have to build the set and costumes for a period piece. Apparently, the budget was all spent on the first two parts.

I didn't mind the ending and thought that the series over all was great. Maybe instead of 2020 as the major time jump, they could have done the 1960's or 1970's. It would have still kept a period feel and dialogue while updating the setting. It would have also had this undertone off the sexual revolution and entering the later half of the 20th century. I didn't mind that they used the same actress for Zoe but maybe they could have used someone that looked very similar to her; that way it wasn't so much Dracula recognizing Zoe/Agatha but the Van Helsing blood. I also see what they did there, A to Z.

Is it just me, or did anyone else feel lost the instant they introduced the young clubbing social media obsessed crew? It felt like they wasted way too much time trying to make us relate to the two young characters and over the course of the long period of the night club scene I was asking myself, "Am I watching the same show?" I loved the ending of the first episode in the convent and the entire time on the ship Demeter. I'll admit I even enjoyed the very brief ending of the second episode with the time jump where Dracula is shown on the beach at night surrounded by helicopters and mercenaries and he meets Agatha's heir. They should have ended it right there and I would have been totally fine.

As soon as that spotlight hit him I was like “aw man, really?!”. I really really don’t think the time jump worked. However, I still want ppl to watch it if only to have ppl talking about it.

I think there was a lot more going on in this version and some of it should have been more logically developed...it's like there was a huge potential in this version and it needed a really senior script editor to sort some of it out. Cos I agree that the last episode descended in terms of quality for the large part. Too many rushed in references, too much time spent on inane nightclub scenes and sudden young characters which ruined the pacing and left the plot too meandering. I do think there was a lot going on between Dracula and Agatha themselves at the end, and the whole notion of his inability to love or maybe admit real love to himself. I've always thought there was a strong element of that in the original novel, and why Dracula was afraid of the Cross...God is love and all that... I think a lot of the last scene hinted at that, and it would explain the magnetic, obsessive attraction between Dracula and Agatha... And what the intense stares between them and them being united in the closing shots was all about.

Just finished binging the entire production. I have read Bram's book about 10 times ... and I thoroughly love it. What I found to be most interesting is the fact that the recreation took bits of the book that did not go into extraordinary detail and expanded them to give you a greater understanding, such as what actually transpired when Jonathan found the Convent and what might have taken place on the Demeter during the voyage to England. The first two episodes did hold my attention but it strayed during the last episode but i barrelled through it to find out what happened in the end. All in all, I enjoyed it more than i did not ... the concept of Dracula being a coward is something I never would have thought of and find it a bit presumptuous given the fact that there has never been anything written about why he became a vampire in the first place ....

The idea behind Dracula is someone in his family sold the family lineage to the devil for fame/fortune, etc. I forget what generation he is, but when Dracula is born, the devil possesses him, which is why, in the book, they use consecrated host on the coffin's of dirt that he places around England.

We STILL see it’s influence almost 30 years later. Mina is now regularly a reincarnated lost love. The old to young Dracula thing rarely showed up until then. There’s just SO many things that stand out in that adaptation too. The production design, the costumes, most of the performances are great or at the very least campy fun, and Dracula’s Devil/Dragon muscle armor is still sooooo cool.

cam george I believe procreate in Dracula terms means he is trying to reproduce the formula that makes him the way he is. Jonathan was able to hold on to his soul and after feeding he would have become a “bride” able to reproduce/procreate as well therefore continuing the cycle of vampires. The third episode does become illogical though. If all of Dracula’s weaknesses were only myths he started to believe from the memory downloads he’s consumed (which by the way Dracula totally came to the that conclusion already in episode 2 while talking to Agatha on the boat deck) why did LW burst into flames after being stabbed in the heart with a wooden stake?

It did seem a weak plot point that the institute planned for the possibility of Dracula’s return for 123 yrs to contain and study him only to immediately release him the minute a lawyer turns up and mentions his ‘rights’. He’s an undead monster who kills people and they just release him without even keeping tabs on him. Just a convenient plot point I guess but it seems unrealistic. It would’ve been better if he made a load of mist to obscure the mercenary’s view and broke out of the institute or something like that. They didn’t need that Renfield character except to shoehorn in a supporting role for Mark Gatiss.

Since reading Stoker's novel, I've seen it as a love story. The BBC movies' ending, though a bit sketchy, confirms my point. Dracula says something like, "Did you think after all this time I would let it hurt?" That seems more a statement on his ongoing contact with this person who has taken such interest in him . I wish they had explored Dracula as a human and put him in a real fight with his animalistic tendencies and his human side.

Maybe it’s because I’ve read too many gothic romances, but I genuinely love the ending and I really do believe he loved her. Here’s what I took away from the ending- Dracula realizes that the things he was afraid of do nothing to him, and therefore if he wanted he could live his life however he pleased. Look at the sun, live in the daylight, etc. However, Agatha’s time had run out. There’s nothing he could do about that, so he made a choice. Either live and continue being cowardly by not dying but be able to live normally, or genuinely heed Agatha’s words and embrace death. 1.) He chose to listen to and agree with Agatha- he, the all powerful Count Dracula listened to the words of this undying nun. Since when has he ever took what other people said into account? 2.) If he didn’t love her in some way, I doubt he’d have chosen to die with her; he could’ve died any other way at a different time 3.) When she was dying he wouldn’t want it to hurt her; this nun that has been trying to kill and control him for hundreds of years at this point-you’d think he’d want it to hurt her lol 4.) Although the love making could be seen as what he had stated literally about not wanting it to hurt (so he made it pleasurable), I really do think it’s something he wanted to do with her. He could’ve chosen any other “pleasurable” or euphoric thing to take the pain away, but no, the dude literally chose to bang her 😂 But the fact she also reciprocated was also sweet, since the “dreams” he gives people have shown that the people still retain free will and aren’t controlled by him, it means it’s something she chose to do with him too. Overall, I loved this and will definitely be rewatching in the future. Sure, the 3rd episode went a little wonky with the club people, but I didn’t mind it much honestly

1st 2 episodes were incredible, a great alteration for a (let's face it) drag of a novel - speeding everything up by 100mph. The actors for Dracula and Van Helsing (her twist of being a nun was excellently done) were bloody incredible considering Dracula isn't even English (making his very occasional mistakes in the accent forgivable) brilliant comedic timing yet sinister at all the right moments. Dracula and Van Helsing's actors chemistry was very evident so every scene with the 2 of them was a joy to watch. 1st episode was a mysterious, suspenseful thrill ride ending in a darkly comical blood orgy. 2nd episode heightened the tension more with a great "whodunnit" (except the audience certainly knows who "dunnit"). Very Alien-vibes and great characters developed. Then the 3rd episode twist happened. No. I think it had potential. I was willing to give this twist a chance - the twists by then were fantastic. I was interested to see where they took it. Well it was a pile of horse dung. Cheap jokes about "old guy in today's times", bizarre and underdeveloped writing for Harker's descendent, and a very strange plot line overall. We didn't want twilight with a middle aged man and a 20 year old. We wanted a bit more John Harker, a few more witty lines of dialogue between Dracula and Helsing and potentially a different ending than the book. Fucking hell Moffatt you had this project by the balls why did you cock it up so badly.

Lucy's fascination with death was not properly established. BTW you missed quite a few Easter Eggs! Jonathan Aris, who played the Captain, was also in BBC Sherlock as Anderson. The scene where Dracula is watching the sunrise on the TV is a call back to Interview with the Vampire, where Louis talks about seeing his first sunrise since being turned at a cinema. Lucy's lover is called Quincy - referring to Quincy P Morris, one of Lucy's suitors in the book - he dies helping Jonathan to destroy Dracula, and Jack's surname was Seward, referring to Jack Seward, another of Lucy's suitors in the book. No mention of Arthur Holmwood, unless I missed it, he was the one who was engaged to Lucy in the book. Also Mark Gatiss's character was called Renfield, who was the clerk who originally went to visit Dracula and came back insane - he was one of Dr Seward's patients. And also in the book, after Lucy is buried, there are news reports of small children going missing. When police questioned local children, they talked about a 'bloofer lady' who led them away - Lucy was rising from the grave each night and feeding on small children. The children were all from the poorest families or orphans and pronounced 'beautiful' as 'bloofer'. Did anyone else spot any others? I do agree the time jump into the modern period was very jarring. I did laugh at Dracula figuring out the wifi password. But overall I liked it.

Honestly I didn’t really have an issue with the time jump 123 years into the future and thought it would make for an interesting fish out of water type scenario. What I don’t like is how they take away the focus from building a seamlessly interconnected story like the previous two episodes to focusing on completely unlikeable/unbelievable characters. I liked the unchronological order of events that made the audience have to piece events back together in order to get the full picture. The third episode lost all the tension and atmosphere that was built upon in episodes 1 and 2. I think the thing that ruined the finale of the show was definitely all the social commentary it tried to make which in some cases it worked brilliantly such as the humans have no rights dialogue from Dracula and the privileged nature of most of our society today, but it’s when they delve into completely unrelated topics for far too long whilst forgetting it’s suppose to be telling the story of Dracula. Episode 3 could’ve worked if we mostly followed Dracula 90% of the time in his trip to discovering the new world he had awoken too. That and Zoe Van Helsing who could be the secondary plot of her trying to hunt down Dracula. I think the teenagers were a total waste of screen time and completely unrelatable. Overall the series almost gets an A+ from me had it not been ruined by the super rushed and cheap nature of the third episode.

She's an annoying child who thinks she's interesting because she's flighty. She's so self absorbed she can't fathom Dracula just killing her and tossing her aside like he does everyone else. Where this fails as a plot device is that Dracula doesn't cast her aside like all the rest because Moffat has one female character archetype and is a shameless hack. Moffat often starts well but I've never seen him stick a landing. Shame because the actor who plays Dracula was spinning gold out of pubes in the first 2 episodes.

The first 2 episodes were awesome, the 3rd was an incredible let down. I didn’t like the extreme time shift, and I found it weird that after 500 years of being alive, Dracula never once clocked onto the whole diseased blood thing and the self-imposed non-weaknesses. The whole ending felt rushed and implausible. Kinda comes across like they did it because they were running out of time. I’ve noticed this before, that it seems that Moffat and Gatiss have this thing where at one point they become too clever for themselves and they create these over complicated plots/endings.

Episodes 1 and 2 were the original Star Wars trilogy. Episode 3 was the Phantom Menace. Lucy was Jar-Jar.

William Mayer it was a joke mate. Since it’s been noted that jar-jar was a stereotypical race throughout. That’s all. Don’t get your britches in a bunch

am I the only one who liked part 3? yeah it probably would have been better if they had just set it in the 1800s too, but I loved Lucy's storyline and her ending. I thought the ending was really good, explaining his weaknesses and expoing him to light etc.

The time skip caught me off guard but it was also the scariest. I did enjoy that surprise. Though Lucy, I didn't considered her as beautiful but "cute". Was hoping they cast another actress as Lucy who was much older than 22 and extremely beautiful. Overall, I enjoyed this movie series. 9/10

Good review! Much like everyone else, I agree that the first two episodes were fantastic. The third was a bold choice that probably could've taken a different route. I saw no harm in keeping the entire season leaning on the edge of the 19th century.

Yeah, they just set so much up and I was really invested in Van Helsing, kinda gutted they got rid of her for the finale. I know she was back in visions but it didn’t feel the same.

@@heavyspoilers Exactly! It felt like a completely new season in one episode. There were also a few plot holes that came up - not sure if that was caught on or not. It will be interesting to see what will happen if they go through with a second season.
