Dracula (BBC 2020)

This show started well. There was gore galore and the way that Harker introduced the legend was genius. It was a shame that they only split it up into three episodes. I loved the idea of a repentance character from the legend; though I was disappointed to find that there was no Igor. There were many opportunities for Harker to become this character, and would have been better motivation for Dracula to enter the convent. I knew there’d be a modern-day episode, and perhaps there ought to have been more of this as we still don’t know why Dracula wanted to travel to London. With a bit of thinking, they could have panned it out into a full series and have a murder mystery; though that may shy away from the books. That was probably why they chose for Dracula to die than have a protagonist seeking vengeance. But there’s a lot of fun outcomes that the viewer never expects either.
