Nice, but...
This is beautifully shot, and I love Jonathan Rhys Meyers...but I just can't get into it. As a fan of Dracula and JRM, this seemed like a perfect fit for me...but watching it, it comes off as more of a creepy soap opera. The production is top notch and the blu-ray is good quality, I just expected a little more from it. If you are a fan, by all means, get it.
I ADORED this show when it first aired, and am BEYOND psyched it's finally available to own. This show is first and foremost, great, campy fun. If you're looking for a serious treatise on Dracula, look elsewhere. If you're looking for some awesome Jonathan Rhys-Myers moments with bonus corsets, camp and girl love, this is the show for you.
I wish they didn't cancel this show after 1 season. It was a really great show and another season would have shown that. The plot and characters were very well written. The scenes were time period correct and imaginative. However, this was not a show for prime time TV; it was more suited to a premium channel like HBO or Showtime.
