I couldn't really get into it. I've got the first 3 or 4 episodes on my DVR so I'll likely give it another shot but on first watch I wasn't impressed.

Hell yeah, if you're in to that sort of thing.


I loved it, can't wait till the second season. Eva Green was awesome.

It's certainly not very original...it's just the same stuff repackaged in a way that is closer to the time and era of the original stories.

Worth a watch? sure if you're bored give it one...I don't think it is very good. Very showtime...pretty good, but not great and not enough to keep my interest season to season, or even week to week.

I enjoyed it. Eva Green's performance is legit (as are her tits), and I like Josh Hartnett (que the queer comments).

I like the show's options going forward.

I only watched the 1st episode when Shotime had their free preview, but it looked like Monster Hunters in 19th century London.

Like there could ever be a stuffy British version of Dean. With what you like though, you should give it a try. It's well cast and looked interesting after 1 episode.

Very predictable, but the performances are awesome. The best episodes are the ones that focus on Green's character.

I kept waiting for Dracula to make an appearance and he never did.

Picks up the last 3-4 episodes. The middle few dragged a bit but I got through it and I'll watch season 2.
