Wet Mustard agreed, but as they demonstrated in the third ep ‘blood lives’ can keep a link to the past so plenty of opportunities for flashbacks if they go for a sequel not a prequel.

Dracula drained the blood from Jonathan and that enabled him to absorb everything that had made up Jonathan. Previously Dracula had sucked the blood of local people and he absorbed their folklore and superstitions and he retained his accent because there was no others. Dracula wants to be able to fit in with polite English society, that is one reason why he had Jonathan come to him, he needs an English accent.

I loved the castle set, and I adore the old school effects throughout the entire series. One massive point they got absolutely right was the sound! A windy draughty castle, always able to hear the outside taunts of distant wolves and mysterious supernatural happenings, never feeling entirely safe in any room, and the further you go, the worse it all gets. Super creepy! Loved it.

The last ep has its faults. It’s flawed but it is beautiful. Maybe I would have done the whole modern day setting move in a second series. But regardless it was and has heart. Edit: For me tbh the last scene was a bit metaphorical of depression. Maybe that’s the whole point of the show? Given his sadistic and self destructive tendencies? Not that he kills himself.. honestly that is ambiguous. But that there is light out of the darkness? Then again I may be overthinking it lol.

Not a government agent - glad I’m not the only one, I think the problem is that the supernatural never works quite as well in a contemporary setting, it’s like we know it’s not real, now, but it’s somehow more believable if set in the past.

Amritpalh H it worked for me, yet it leaves space for debate. Would he really have embraced it knowing for sure it was his end, or would he, in his devious way, have risked it only in order to take her and all she knew, for the chance of survival with her mind in his veins? What if it turns out to be just another coma state? Ooh, sequel idea, what if it turns out the only way to reproduce is to give his all to another as if in death? But they’d share one another’s blood lives then, too, ooooh! ;)

@yanmoistnado504 4 жыл бұрын

@@fobstaa Seeing as you asked- The BBC don't care what the British people would rather do. The British are forced, under threat of criminal conviction, to pay for the corporation. This is 'justified' by the a lie that the BBC is "independent of shareholder and political interest" yet they re-sell what the British paid for anywhere they can for billions in shareholder profit and fill their shows with heavy handed political agendas. People can choose to pay for Netflix, and if the content is bad people can choose to stop. The BBC has no incentive to produce quality content. Poor, elderly and free thinking people who do not pay for the BBC are branded criminals and fined/imprisoned/forced into debt/sacrifice food and heat in order to ensure payment for the free flow of Champagne given undeserving 'creatives' and celebrity guests.

It would have been far better to have seen Dracula ahead in time just a little bit, maybe the Edwardian era, peak english civilisation as he dreamed of, to see how he coped and lived among those who inspired his whole trip in the first place..
