I saw the pilot, thinking that Rhys-Meyers would keep the high standards of "The Tudors". Being a life-long lover of vampire stories, I was sorely disappointed by this new take on the classical story of the Count. Although production values are decent, the script, the dialogues and the narrative are hardly appealing to the viewer. Showing all the elements that make up a story is not equal to deprive the viewers of their involvement as co-creators of the plot. We can only hope that writers will correct this in-your-face disclosure and provide us with more hints to not being boringly certain about what is going to happen. Dracula is too complex a character to make him just a corporate tycoon looking for revenge and nothing else. It remains to be seen if mystery and true horror can redeem the show in the future.
