It is those events that tell Dracula, who decides to move to London to carry out his plan, which he designed for revenge. After a short time, everything becomes complicated when he encounters a beautiful woman where his ideas are scattered and things turn into an unexpected course.
Drac's mission will be driving this story, which means we need a commanding presence at the center. Rhys Meyers plays it more subtly. That's a valid acting choice. It just doesn't make the story as bloody good as it might be.
Unfortunately, this Dracula isn't fun at all. It's not really scary, either, although it does spill a lot of blood. What it is, unfortunately, is dull, and that flaw could be fatal.
Dracula scores with inventive details like that, as well as its sumptuous 19th century sets and costumes. (What else would you expect from the producers of Downton Abbey?)
The series gets us rooting for [Dracula] in his war against a powerful group that is dedicated to eliminating vampires, but our enthusiasm is lessened by the fact that he is, after all, draining the blood of innocent people.
