now watching #BBCDracula .

This is *not* a sophisticated reworking of Mina Harker. Ack! #BBCDracula

We take this break from a massacre to reflect on vampire legends. #BBCDracula

This is getting a bit grand guignol here... #BBCDracula

Some of this dialogue is in an updated version of Stoker's style, which I don't mean entirely as a compliment. #BBCDracula

This is a sort of meta version of Dracula myths, then? #BBCDracula

Shapeshifting is a little messy in this version. #BBCDracula

Er, Mina was the most *intelligent* person in the group, remember? #BBCDracula

"The bats are a little noisy, would you mind?" #BBCDracula

Never mind, religious objects are back. #BBCDracula

*pause* OK, I'll grant that that's a...ahem...twist. #BBCDracula

Is this a shout-out to THE SHINING? (Albeit with a fountain pen.) #BBCDracula

Snarky Dracula is entertaining, I'll concede. #BBCDracula

Huh, interesting subversion of the novel's use of religious objects (which function for the characters despite carrying ostensibly no meaning for them). #BBCDracula

More Sherlock Holmes-ing going on. Interested in the figure of the castle as an impenetrable space that turns out to be decodable by anyone who can read properly, after all (the story itself?). #BBCDracula

Youthened Dracula is rather more peppy than his fictional equivalent, that's for sure. #BBCDracula

ANOTHER PUN SEND HELP #BBCDracula

This version of Jonathan Harker is, um, perhaps less sensible than his novelistic equivalent? #BBCDracula

Help, more pun-ishment. #BBCDracula

Dracula absorbs Jonathan's "Englishness" through his blood? Hmm. #BBCDracula

Sister Agatha is giving off some Holmesian vibes. #BBCDracula

The interrogation set-up is a logical continuation of the novel's several layers of narration. #BBCDracula

It would appear that Dracula requires some advanced dental work? #BBCDracula

Called it. #bbcDracula

Wait, that is the point they were trying to make????? #FlipsTable #BBCDracula

It's so funny because Agatha's accent is Danish and not Dutch. Agatha Helsingsen, then. #BBCDracula

This has such a 13 Reasons Why vibe and it's deeply uncomfortable. #BBCDracula

#BBCDracula

Jack never smiled once in this episode. The whole everyone smiles when you're beautiful bs is just that, bs #BBCDracula

why is his reflection suddenly young??? Makes no sense. #BBCDracula
