Sorry it didn't pan out for those who liked it at the start.
Second was probably mine, but yeah did yourself a favour , that lat episode just spoiled everything they built up.

Finished The Witcher.

That was bloody good.
It helped after each episode to look at the episode synopsis on Wikipedia.
The timelines vary in some episodes and left me wondering if I had missed an episode.

Dracula

I have watched the first two episodes "Rules Of The Beast" & "Blood Vessel". I like him . He reminded me of Lambert in Mortal Kombat
Lots of nods to ... other versions cough. The finale should be interesting to say the least .
It replaces nothing. Next!!!

I watched Dracula over two nights and really liked what Mike Gatiss and Steven Moffat did with the story. The way they kept the characters and the main plot points in the miniseries while doing something fresh and interesting with the source material was commendable.

I thought it was great to have so many subtle reference points for other TV shows and films, from Inside No. 9 to The Shining and to have a Count Dracula who was witty and menacing worked well for me and I'll definitely revisit the series again. Hopefully it'll be treated to a decent release for home viewing with some behind the scenes footage and/or commentaries.

Excellent – I'm glad time and effort is still going into physical media.

Did you watch the Tom Hardy series, Taboo?

I didn't see it, but I've heard is very weird and something which is worth watching. According to my mother who has seen them all, she recognised bits of Peaky Blinders and Taboo in the latest adaptation of A Christmas Carol, possibly because of Tom Hardy's involvement in its production.
