One of the best adaptations ever. Takes 3 crucial events, that usually are overlooked in the film and TV adaptations, and then reinvent the story. God bless, because every Dracula story is more or less always the same, specially after Francis Ford Coppola famous version.
What people don't tell is that Bram Stoker's Dracula, that still my favourite film in the world, is in several parts a copy paste of the Louis Jourdan TV version, that is by faaar the most faithful adaptation of the novel.-
Let's see every episode is based in an episode of the novel. The first one is in Budapest when a nunnery takes care of Jonathan Harker. Sister Agatha a minor character in the books, who also usually forgotten in the adaptations (except in Oldman and jourdan ones) is with Harker and Dracula the main character of the this first episode. She is a nun, but also a philosopher, a empirist, a scientist, a psychologist, a doctor and a detetive (she is a friend of a London Detective). Very Sherlock Holmes/Father Brown movie with fangs.-
The Seccond Episode is about The Demeter. The ship that sail Dracula from Austro-Hungary Empire to London. Even when we know who is the killer, the seccond episode is very Agatha Christie There will be none.
The third Episode reinvent the first 2 and is about Lucy Dreams.-
I cannot say more because of spoilers.

I watched it! I didn't really like the last episode, but the first two were pretty cool. Bang and Wells are both absolute stars and carried the whole thing. Her performance in those first two episodes was particularly awesome.
