    recent Dracula tv series

    Is it worth watching?

    I think it’s more just a motif that a creature of darkness is weakened by the light. It’s more that vampires are creatures of the night that you don’t have to fear during the day,

    Agreed. Personalized human fear of the dangers lurking in the darkness.

      Yes, I thought it was quite good. It’s a faithful retelling of Dracula that is creative and innovative, and also continues the story to the modern day while staying very true to the source material. They added to the myth and lore in a way that is interesting without taking anything away from the original story

      Just a good production of Dracula, solid acting, and rather than “putting their own twist” on the story, their additions extended it in a way that felt natural

      My only complaint is that there’s not more of it. It’s a mini series, and though the story was as long as it needed to be I was still eager for more

      If you like Dracula, you should definitely check it out

      Is it worth watching?

      I’m guessing they’re talking about the 2020 miniseries. IMO, yes, it’s worth watching though from what I remember as it jumps through eras it wasn’t what I expected lol. Haven’t watched it since it came out but I recently rewatched Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell so I’m in a bit of a Victorian era vibe and gonna go through this Dracula again.
