Review of Dracula

Dracula (2013–2014)
When is Dracula not Dracula? When he is pretending to be someone not named Dracula.
27 October 2013
I just watched the first episode of Dracula. I was looking forward to a TV show utilizing the classic Dracula, I was very disappointed that so much "artistic license" was taken with the original. Dracula never used or needed an alias and was never a "good" character like those sparkling teens of Twilight. The show is just another vampire show with the classic name of Dracula stuck on top of it to suck people in. Ask yourself what is Dracula? It is a story by Bram Stoker that has seen producers, directors and writers try to improve or reinvent the original story. However the story is classic and what they don't realize is that it doesn't need that much tweaking to work, and if they change it to much then it is not Dracula but instead it is Twilight or Interview With A Vampire or a story written by series writers and not a story written by Bram Stoker.
