I thought the series of Dracula was worth watching, played about with some of the established ideas and had some great moments.
It's true that they decrease in quality.
The final episode was easily the poorest, despite an interesting premise.
I just found that
It focused too much on his final bride, who was horrible, so just meandered about, giving her too much screen time until the final revelation about why he is vulnerable to the classic Drac weaknesses.
It was also pretty convoluted how Drac saw the phone and the owner just-so-happened to be obsessed with his perfect bride.
Thought the two main leads were great. Claes Bang as Drac lurched between arrogant and addict and Dolly Wells handled a few accents convincingly and was a real badass.
I was a little disappointed that Drac's arrogance wasn't his final downfall and I kinda wanted Blade to turn up.

Here's a picture of them together, so you know what they look like in future work:

Watched the Mark Gatiss documentary about that recent DRACULA you were just talking about.
Gatiss is SUPERB in League of Gentlemen but has a preening, irritating, 'attempting-too-hard-to-be-lofty' type of presence in stuff like this, it's just bloody irritating, tbh, and the camera is always focused on his horrible shoes.
But he's bloody great in TLOG!!!
Just that bloody posh voice he tries to put on. Grating.
