Favourite line from episode one (Harker) "You're a monster!" (Dracula) "You're a lawyer. Nobody's perfect."
I laughed hard to this reply from Dracula.
Linen Gray mine was when Dracula come out the wolf and he said looking into my eyes and the nun said your naked were not looking at your eyes *proceeds to look down*
I’d go for “There is no baby,” but the lawyer one was very good as well. 😁
mine was you do look rather drained
Favorite line from episode 3: "Count Dracula has rights!".
The mix of horror and humour was perfect and the cast very engaging.
Claes bang really was brilliant as Dracula, he needs to revive this role in the future.
Would be good,..
@Scumspawn ***** joke was so so....& really wasn't needed in response to the posters point,...lol
Absolutely not! The man is a living mockery, he can't act, simple as.
MediumWriter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do you need a hug?
Even though it's like 90mins per episode, the whole thing felt short for some reason.
Maybe because it's good ?!?...
Maybe because it's good ?!?...
Exactly
Well it does have that all too annoying sort of "wit" that Moffat and Gattis bring to everything they make - where the characters voices all sound too similar to voices these two have written elsewhere and the humour is too on the nose to feel like something anyone would actually say. It also has the third episode... oh and speaking of unnecessary twists it has nun agatha van helsing.
So I'd say it's roughly mid tier in the overall Dracula movies and series etc.
At last, a sadistic, evil, twisted vampire!
....with a lovely sense of humour
What the Herons teeth are you two jabbering on about....get a room and some lube...
And the british accent all binds it together :D
Always wonder why people thought that vampires hadn't sence of humor.quite opposite.vampires had dark sence of humor,which is awesome
I love the moment when in the last episode she says "Who gave him the wifi password!?"
Well it was his name actually, soooo
Dracula felt like the perfect mix of Hannibal and Tom Ellis's Lucifer 😍
Yup
All three need to hang out
He needs to be Dracula permanently! Can't see another actor playing this character in the future 😓 I'm ruined and needy for more
They should cast Claes Bang as the next 007 his looks, his acting skills.... He is the man!
@Hell Yeah George Lazenby (Australian) and Pierce Brosnan (Irish, as in the southern part) weren't British but that never stopped them.
He reminds me of Christopher Lee...
@Scumspawn I hadn't spotted that but yeah, there is a bit of Lazenby about him. I like OHMSS and Lazenby was good but I agree, it's not the greatest script. I still prefer him to most of Moore's stuff though.
@Scumspawn I see that too and from the comments I've read, so do others. It seems to be a case of ideal casting.
Don’t agree
I just witnessed a nun say 'sexual energy'
Having a go, as the Brits try to apply some very corny 007 humor to a story that was once very well written until this version came along.
@@tropicthndr That is a remarkably stupid comment. No adaptation can make the original story less well written. This particular adaptation is brilliant.
The way Claes Bang was able to be both charming and terrifying at the same time... what a great performance he delivered! He is my 1st choice as next James Bond
Great idea he's perfect!!
Absolutely loved this mini series. Dramatic, a little scary, passionate and a damn sexy Dracula. Well done x
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Dark, scary but very humorous. Claes Bang is handsome, sexy and very creepy as the count.
@Scumspawn ***** f..k o.. !! 😆
Let’s act like the third episode never happened and just resume from episode 2.
Exactly what I did 😂 third episode? I don't know her
Priu Vaswani bruh no just scrap it and go back to the 1800’s
I never watched episode three
I feel like it was a perfect ending tbh
.Episode 3 Aka Dracula goes to Holly oaks,discovers Tinder and Visits Eastenders for the day..The first two episodes, the third episode ruined the entire and was just so PC and woke in parts.
Really enjoyed Dracula, his sense of humor is worth watching for alone
I learnt alot as well
Lucifer
The count’s wisecracks and charm really make the character memorable. Agatha (Dolly) is equally brilliant and a formidable opponent to Dracula. Superb acting all round.
I didn't know that Sister Agatha was accosiated with the Vampire Hunter Professor Abraham Van Helsing.
I agree. I think it's a triumph , thus far .
@@lynne523 I hope Professor Abraham Van Helsing does make an appearance in the series because I think he comissioned Sister Agatha to the Priory as a spy in case Dracula immerged from his castle in Transylvania.
Bollocks it is a comedy
Yes! Those two actors are amazing in this. I feel sorry for the men who stopped watching cause they feared this was gonna be woke. Like.. Omg.. Those boys must lead a sad life if they feel that threatened to hear a nun ask a man if he slept with Dracula. xD
I love how Dracula basically has zero morals. He doesn't care. I wish he would have painted the town red in the third episode.
Could be just me but Dracula's chatty manner reminded me of Tom Ellis's Lucifer character.
lrostoke i was looking for this comment, i agree!
There are definitely similarities, but I find Dracula far more intelligent and enjoyable to watch than Lucifer who has absolutely no common sense for a being that old.
Then again I stopped watching Lucifer after season 3 so it is possible the show has gotten better since then.
@mag 777 : So, it's the perfect picture of ours lifes and world now !!...
YES. It did. I could picture Dracula and Lucifer talking together
ohh my dracula. yes
Claes Bang’s spoken English is astonishingly good for a Danish man who was born and raised and who still lives in Denmark.
This is an amazing cinematic piece. Amazing Van Helsing who could have easily stole the show had Claes hadn't been so perfect for the role himself. That scene outside the convent, just wow.
Claes Bang is sooooooo handsome! Well done on Dracula!
Dracula looks like Christopher Lee. Moffat has a part in making this, im sold im going to watch this.
He reminded me more of Bela Lugosi, lookswise,.
Great,I'm not the only one,who thoughts the same
If you mix Robert Quarry with Christopher Lee, you'll get Claes Bang.
For those of you who don't know, Quarry was an actor made famous for his role as "Count Yorga: Vampire" (in the '70s). Ironically enough, he appeared in a handful of Lee, Cushing and Vincent Price films.
I loved the subtle nod to Sherlock in the episode by Sister Agatha.
this version of Dracula is so evil and scary that i can't help but love him :D
So you mean the original idea and how it should be not how they make it now day
Stop and think about what you just wrote there..
Van Helsing the Nun tho...
She’s my role model.
And he's so gross and disgusting too
You must be joking, this version's a bloody howl..... That cabbage patch baby and Draculas accent...... Not to mention "van helsings" comment if Harker was shagged by Dracula 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really liked ep1
Sadistic humor Dracula is awesome. That "Clearing her throat" moment!
Also the Nine is Jonathan Harker. Somebody will get that reference
loved the first episode, special effects and atmosphere. must get some more garlic bread before watching any more
Dolly & Claes together were astoundingly good. They bounced off each other so effectively - a match made in heaven (er, hell?)
I absolutely love it. The acting from everyone is top-notch, but it's the acting and the barbs the 2 main characters throw at each other make their interactions unbelievably engaging and memorable. Dracula himself is terrifying, but also feels very grounded for once, without the ridiculous amount of sci-fi we see in previous iterations. The Dracula we saw in the first 2 episodes has a very modern feel for the age he lives in, but it felt very natural at the same time. Sister Agatha is quickly turning into one of my favorite TV characters, with the wit and intelligence she has displayed so far. I can easily imagine a TV show centered around her as Dolly Wells has done an amazing job so far.
i REALLY ENJOYED THIS SERIES BUT THE ENDING WAS RATHER FLAT
I agree i love it but third bad
I didn't think anyone could make a Dracula as good as Gary Oldman. But I was wrong. Totally different interpretation.
Coppola's Dracula with Gary Oldman will always be my favourite however, the BBC's Dracula delivered similarities to Coppola but with a modern-day twist and on occasion humour. The aloof one-liners delivered by Claes Bang and Dolly Wells was class. Hope there will be a D2 with Claes.
The transformation scene outside the convent and the interplay between Dracula and Van Helsing was fantastic.
This was a really decent watch, wasn't expecting it at all!
The 3rd episode was so disappointing. I felt like I was watching a totally different show.
Must have been written by Gatiss... That's how they work, it seems, if it's on the "Sherlock" mode...
It was so so bad.
Yes I felt the same I really wish that diidnt happen
@@neondemon7617 Not that bad !
Yea agreed
only legends remember Dracula on cbbc
This Dracula is not scary, HE IS ACTUALLY HOT
Phoebe D'Orville that’s true😂
He's funny too
Yes... He is.
Prequel for season 2, please. Maybe how he went from warlord to vampire?
Dracula redux galadriel is in it she is in every film what a talent Welsh Celtics woman
The tv licence will soon be gone
This is classic horror at it's campest. Gatis and company have crafted a very copper tasting modern twist on a gothic masterpiece. Bats off to you....
"It's not a family dracula" watches it with my mum lmao it was amazing but maybe we're a weird family haha
Favourite Netflix series by far. Would love a season 2 omg
Claes Bang really really reminds me of James Mason the late english actor. I just cant stop watching Claes Bang after watching Dracula.. he's so charming!
If there was any doubt at all about the BBC licence fee being value for money, tonight's first episode alone was worth every penny. A stunning adaptation - I love it!
Dracula has a great dark humour...add in a sassy Nun and a niave girlfriend and it's great viewing. Loved the scary scenes too.
This was a really bad series. So bad it turned good. Omg.. I love it so much. Makes me happy and I laughed alot at some scenes.
@Suzie.q Popcorn123 : Oh! The first "Moffat's hater" !... I've waited for a while for you to show off !...
Bang was excellent in this. One of the best Dracula's I've ever seen. Charming, witty, and demonic as hell.
Watched the first part last night and loved it. The sets were fantastic. Effects amazing. I want to say more but I can't spoil it for anyone waiting to see it.
A refreshing new twist on the original tale. Especially the brides.Part 2 tonight. Can't wait. Claes Bang is incredible and has a fantastic delivery and presence.Been a huge Dracula fan for most of my life. Seen many versions mostly copy and paste versions of ones that have been made previously but this one is so so different. Cast and crew deserve accolades for this.
Yes it was fantastic. Jumped, laughed and watched it again this morning!
Can’t wait for tonight!
@nietzsche Why ??,..it was ok
Wow! What happened?
Again no spoilers. I was pumped after episode 1. It looked so promising. The sets. The casting. The effects then at the end of episode 2 I thought ' No'! Please no.
What worked for Sherlock just didn't apply to this. Why did it go this way? I was absolutely sold on this. Should've stuck to the original story line. Bloody skyping!! Especially as after the show there was a special with Mark Gatiss on the origins of the Dracula story. You had us guys. Beautiful shot scenery of the castle etc then it went so wrong for me. I'm sorry but the approach at the start was quite refreshing and even bold but the last episode, especially with all your love and passion for the subject, let it down. A thumbs down for me which is something I didn't feel coming after episode 1. Gutted.
@nietzsche I do understand where your coming from, in a way,..but it still wasn't too bad, for me.
@@beanzy66 Last part , wasn't my favourite, right enough, but still enjoyed it , overall.
The acting in this series was great!
Stehe r
Es
They really had their work cut out for them, keeping Dolly in the background of all these interviews, but still have her be part of the press and not spoil the reveal.
You seem to have plenty of followers who live in the past and don't understand the BBC at all. Personally, I think it's great!
Ahhhh the first episode was SO GOOD! Can’t wait to see the next one! 🧛♂️
If the actors themselves say it's terrifying then you can bet it'll make you shiver down the spine
Claes Bang was perfect!!
I fell in love with this series of Dracula!!
A masterpiece 👌
Congratulations to everyone!
Steven Moffat may have missed the mark sometimes with Doctor Who and Sherlock but you can't deny he's a bloody genius writer
X
@WhiteWolf_99 As you say, 'sometimes' he missed, but when he gets it right, he really hits. Gotta give equal credit to Mark Gatiss though, who also co-wrote and created this show.
lwaves yeah kudos to Gatiss too they seem like a good team
He is good.
I totally disagree with you about ' missing the mark' !
Absolutely a fan, I enjoyed the 1st episode, well done to all.
The second is on BBC I player... It's even better.
I've watched Dracula 4 times now, loved all 3 episodes. Claes Bang is amazing, as is Dolly Wells.
Watched it about 2 times. I had to get the DVD
Finally something other than the usual Hollywood fast-food TV show...
Gotta hand it to you... You did good with this one BBC. Previous attempts were shite.
Just finished it on Netflix! Wow it was so awesome she felt so epic! Loved Claes and Dolly!
No Jonathan, There's no one LIVING here.
To mark Gatiss and claws bang THANK YOUUUUUU
DOES THIS MEAN MARK GATISS AND MOFFAT CAN WORK ON SHERLOCK NOW PLEASEEEEEE
The show will blow your minds
he looks like a normal dad though, I can't get past that
The best move this show took, was make an entire episode on the Demeter ship...that was never emphasized in depth before now. It was my favorite of the show for certain.
Just watching Ep 3 Brilliant homage to the Van Helsing "Curtain " scene in Hammer Horror's Dracula.
Claes Bang please bite me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
first 2 episodes were great, they kinda pissed it with the third though. Shame.
Hilarious that they considered the Wolf Scene to be "horrifying" while most of the internet is thirsty about it. Oops 😂
This take on Dracula is so much fun he’s like so quirky and confident and he just loves being evil and knows he can do whatever he wants unlike Lugosi or Lee where it was just sensible and evil this guy brings new life
Claus Bang had the accent of Bela Lugosi and the physical and menacing appearance of Christopher Lee.
The earlier actors portrayals,....still have their place !
Please, we need at least one more season.
they actually did really well with this
can't say the same for sherlock
Claes bang was excellent.cant say the same for the show.he deserved better.
He knew what he was doing.
Finished watching the first episode - excellent! Just the right blend of horror and entertainment.
First I was genuinely freaked out by a Dracula show/film. That 💩 was crazy.
Loved the show and Claes Bang as Dracula... just fantastic, brilliant and sexy af. I hope we'll get a season 2!!!
First thing I noticed was for the time era all thr roads looked snow plowed 😄
This is the best thing ever to come from the BBC I am hooked on this!
This looks fantastic and I'm so intrigued and excited to watch it!

@@abigailwildlife1322 its also gonna be on netflix in 2 days time.
Wow just saw episode 1 and its blown me away. FINALLY an awesome true Dracula screen. And plus points for making fun of woke people.
Making fun of woke people? Huh? It's funny to see incel boys like you so down in their own mess they can't even recognize what woke is anymore. And tbh? So tired of people throwing woke and pc around eveywhere. WHO CARES?! If a movie or series is good, it's good. End of story. You incels are obsessed with these labels. Just grow up.
@Penny for my thot One more !! This world is really divided in two !!... At least England... 😏
@@MrSquifler Same than up here... Sense of humour is a big problem it seems...
@@DiiAcid This coin have two sides. Sadly, both seems damn stupid and grumpy to me. I'm sixty years old. YOU grow up !!!
@Penny for my thot : Quiet... You will ALWAYS "miss it". Don't worry, be happy. Some of us fly and "get it", while others crawl and don't even know it. That's life.
Just the best version of Dracula.Claes Bang and Dolly Wells play this so well.
I really enjoyed the series and that last scene---so unusual yet sad, sexy, and very satisfying.
Very cool! I am watching the mini series now on Netflix and it's utterly awesome...
Wait till you get to Ep 3.
I was so waiting for gatiss to appear and when he did...my heart went.. *mycroft!*
A bloody amazing series! Loved every second of it!
It was brilliant, gripping. I really hope there is another series. Really enjoyed it.
Dracula plays it like Lucifer !
This was brilliant, and quite a lot deeper than I think most people catch on to. Also, I'm afraid (as an American) that most Americans won't understand the humor. But holy crap, this was absolutely beautiful.
PLEASE let there be a season 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There would be more seassons about dracula, more episodes of seasson 1 or more about it i love and no just me maybe more peaple want to see more
Brilliant adaptation. A dark humour twisted with modern reality. Clever little nuggets thrown in for good measure.
If you have Netflix on Jan 4th they will be broadcasting the 3 part BBC miniseries "Dracula 2020" the latest adaption of the Bram Stoker 1897 Gothic novel Dracula. This is not to be missed, great acting, sarcastic humor, fabulous effects - I saw it on BBC and it was awesome and I don't usually offer opinions on movies and shows.

Why do I have a feeling that the show is going to lead to a Sherlock crossover later on
Started this show last night and I love it!!! True horror. And I LOVE that the episodes are like an hour and a half long.
Me watching Dracula. In the back of my head I will definitely invite him in 😛
the bbc is like Dracula, praying on the old for there license fees
Just finished with the show and its amazing...combination of humour and horror is brilliant
The flies indeed deserve a prize for their exceptional supporting role.
superb acting ,can't wait for the next episode .
Really enjoyed last night's episode. I do so hope that the remaining installment's are just as good, or even better!
nietzsche I agree. The first episode (for me at least) was great - eerie and jumpy - but as the series went on, I found it sort of went down hill.
@nietzsche how did you see the 3rd?... I can only see 2 on BBC I Player.
