This new iteration of the Dracula story doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table. I haven't found any of the cleverness or spectacle other people speak of. The first half is a tedious retelling of the story we know, the second part gives a bit more relief with the unbelieving nun but all-in-all it's more cliché than it should have been.

I'm curious to see if the next episodes are better... Somehow I doubt it and I fear it'll be more "strong women" against the "bloodsucking beastman" standing in front of a gate for 20 minutes. It could have been good, could have even been clever, but they think Elsa Van Helsing is clever so alas... But what would one expect from current-age BBC.
