How we brought Dracula back from the dead! - BBC

[@Foxy-qx4pd]

The mix of horror and humour was perfect and the cast very engaging.

[@linengray]

Favourite line from episode one (Harker) "You're a monster!" (Dracula) "You're a lawyer. Nobody's perfect."

[@jortiz1451]

I laughed hard to this reply from Dracula.

[@lydia7195]

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*

[@JackDanger99]

I’d go for “There is no baby,” but the lawyer one was very good as well. 😁

[@someweirdhermit]

mine was you do look rather drained

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

Favorite line from episode 3: "Count Dracula has rights!".

Claes bang really was brilliant as Dracula, he needs to revive this role in the future.

Maybe because it's good ?!?...

[@b.a3595]

Exactly

[@dommoore6180]

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.

[@Carpathianrelinquished]

At last, a sadistic, evil, twisted vampire! ....with a lovely sense of humour

He needs to be Dracula permanently! Can't see another actor playing this character in the future 😓 I'm ruined and needy for more

[@merstrand1]

They should cast Claes Bang as the next 007 his looks, his acting skills.... He is the man!

[@lwaves]

@Hell Yeah George Lazenby (Australian) and Pierce Brosnan (Irish, as in the southern part) weren't British but that never stopped them.

[@michaelwong7657]

He reminds me of Christopher Lee...

[@lwaves]

@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.

[@lwaves]

@Scumspawn I see that too and from the comments I've read, so do others. It seems to be a case of ideal casting.

[@fruitysalad5153]

[@deepanjaddoo7435]

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.

[@dtaylor4552]

I didn't know that Sister Agatha was accosiated with the Vampire Hunter Professor Abraham Van Helsing.

[@lynne523]

I agree. I think it's a triumph , thus far .

[@dtaylor4552]

@@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.

[@stuartparker3923]

Bollocks it is a comedy

[@DiiAcid]

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

[@therambler100]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Dark, scary but very humorous. Claes Bang is handsome, sexy and very creepy as the count.

[@earth-thrower7366]

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

Dracula felt like the perfect mix of Hannibal and Tom Ellis's Lucifer 😍

[@stainzy6565]

Yup

[@newchannel7523]

All three need to hang out

[@lrostoke]

Could be just me but Dracula's chatty manner reminded me of Tom Ellis's Lucifer character.

[@lvcxfr8939]

lrostoke i was looking for this comment, i agree!

[@cartoon80s90s]

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.

[@philippebernard4577]

.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.

[@marcus7195]

[@tropicthndr]

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.

[@somesuchx8912]

​@@tropicthndr That is a remarkably stupid comment. No adaptation can make the original story less well written. This particular adaptation is brilliant.

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

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.

[@brooklynyte]

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.

[@StephanieLaerkeAndersen]

Claes Bang’s spoken English is astonishingly good for a Danish man who was born and raised and who still lives in Denmark.

[@anarawad6017]

loved the first episode, special effects and atmosphere. must get some more garlic bread before watching any more

[@Luckyluisa791]

Claes Bang is sooooooo handsome! Well done on Dracula!

[@JohnBryanSchwab]

Dracula looks like Christopher Lee. Moffat has a part in making this, im sold im going to watch this.

[@earth-thrower7366]

He reminded me more of Bela Lugosi, lookswise,.

[@elisabethacronqvist7859]

Great,I'm not the only one,who thoughts the same

[@ontologicallysteve7765]

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.

[@cartoon80s90s]

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.

[@Nasser851000]

this version of Dracula is so evil and scary that i can't help but love him :D

[@danielkerr4100]

So you mean the original idea and how it should be not how they make it now day

[@user-kq2gt6yy3o]

[@VanessaButtino]

Dolly & Claes together were astoundingly good. They bounced off each other so effectively - a match made in heaven (er, hell?)

[@linengray]

I loved the subtle nod to Sherlock in the episode by Sister Agatha.

[@selinab2469]

The transformation scene outside the convent and the interplay between Dracula and Van Helsing was fantastic.

[@beanzy66]

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.

[@marksouthall4508]

Yes it was fantastic. Jumped, laughed and watched it again this morning! Can’t wait for tonight!

[@earth-thrower7366]

@nietzsche Why ??,..it was ok

[@beanzy66]

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.

[@earth-thrower7366]

@nietzsche I do understand where your coming from, in a way,..but it still wasn't too bad, for me.

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.

For any other geeks looking for it, 2:13 is when you can hear Claes pronounce his name. As for his performance, I thought he did a marvelous job of being simultaneously charismatic and repulsive. Claes and Dolly Wells made the show. Without them, it would have been hollow. And since they were what was compelling for me, I wasn't disappointed by ep 3 as so many other folks seem to have been when the show left the beaten path, and went exploring - I'm fine with that. It's what this Dracula would do, after having been cooped up in a castle for a few centuries.

This version of Dracula reminded me of Lucas Buck in the brilliant "American Gothic" series, back in the mid-90s. There were some brilliant one-liners which were extremely funny. I was also reminded of the late great Alan Rickman's take on the Sheriff Of Nottingham, who stole the show in "Robin Hood - Prince Of Thieves". Either way, it was great stuff. Lucy Harker returning as a badly burned vampire, unaware of her condition was a nice touch.

[@FlippytheMasterofPie]

I really enjoyed this version, and that there were several points that were genuinely scary, which I don’t usually say about Dracula films. BUT (I’m about to spoil the third episode) I think it was a mistake to have him come into the modern day. They had to catch us up on a lot of things that happened in between Dracula going into the sea and him coming out, and that leaves not much time to actually finish off the character arc for Dracula. Maybe if they had spent more time in the past and then done the jump to the future as a tease for the next season that might’ve allowed them to spend more time on Dracula getting acclimated to modernity. But that’s not what we got, for better or worse, and I’m looking forward to season 2!
