Plots(1)
Fantasy horror series inspired by Bram Stoker's Victorian Gothic novel 'Dracula'. A reimagining of the classic horror story, the series follows American scientist and entrepreneur Alexander Grayson (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) as he arrives in England under the pretence of bringing modern science to Victorian society. While he goes about his day-to-day business, Grayson, who is really an age-old bloodthirsty vampire with a grudge, meets Mina (Jessica De Gouw), a woman he believes is the reincarnation of his long-dead wife Ilona. Through his interest in Mina he becomes acquainted with her fiancé Jonathan Harker (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), who is an aspiring young scientist keen to impress the knowledgeable and enigmatic Alexander, a situation he takes full advantage of.

You should have said right away that Lucy was in love with Mina. And the fact that this is the wild wild Victorian west. I hadn't had this much fun with a series this short in a long time, but this is the latest version of the Stoker myth, and lesbian Lucy promised a very fine plot, so I wanted to give it a chance no matter what. The ending was good. A whole cohort of main characters were slaughtered, so while a virtual second series might have been at least attractive along the lines of "lesbian vampire Lucy gets revenge on Dracula and Mina," everything else would have to be reinvented from scratch, and some lame bitter Jonathan certainly couldn't pull it off. Overall it was a very interesting experience, but I'm not grieving. And Dracula now has a new favorite face - Luke Evans in the latest film.
