Does she show her goods? That's the only way I will watch the show.

 

Put your glasses on and start watching!

And there is more coming.

Plus Dracula and Renfield...

 

This is the closest thing to an updated style of the old Universal Movies you'll ever get. AND they do some accurate depiction of the books, as well.

 

AND I always do appreciate Eva Greene...

You are not kidding. That ending and that voice from Dracula was way cool!

And eerily creepy!!

Then I will start watching it! Don't care what the plot is about.

[Bosco685]

Another solid episode, with a well-balanced presentation of each character.

 

Add to this the reveal of - DRACULA!

So I watched the first three episodes. Does it get better? There is some interesting parts of it, but mostly it's been boring. Just trying to figure out if I should keep at it for a good payoff, or if I'll get more of the same.

I started watching it after seeing this thread. I does start off slow. I just finished episode 6 today which was the most interesting thus far. I expect that it will get better.

 

I remember Breaking Bad starting off very slow too & got more exciting towards the end of the 1st season.

Keep going is all I can say. They take their time developing so many different characters but it is a great watch in the end. My wife loves the show, and she normally hates this type of content.

They're right!

 

I've been watching it from the time it was first released. It takes a few episodes to speed up. But once it does, the ride is well worth it!

 

I think this season we meet the character that made one of the leads a werewolf. There is definitely a level of hate between them that is quite obvious.

 

[Bosco685]

Wow!

 

So the Frankenstein Monster had ties to Ms. Ives before becoming what he is now.

 

 

Another wild, adventurous week of storytelling! And now that Billie Piper's character (Lily) has started to assemble her dangerous women army, I imagine it will only get more exciting. Though the 'blood threesome' was quite the nasty ritual.

Look forward to this show every Sunday...

You are not kidding! This season has been non-stop excitement and character reveals that tops the previous seasons.

+1

 

It's my current favorite after "Game of Thrones."

[Bosco685]

That was one heck of a dark episode the other night. We now know what goes on in the mind of Vanessa Ives. And I am not sure I would want to go there again.

 

[fastballspecial]

I didn't like it. I like variety in that show. Don't get me wrong I can look at her for a long time, but an hour of her looking like just doesn't do it for me.

 

[kimik]

I was ready to turn it off halfway through, but it picked up at the end. My question is this - what is possessing her if she can scare off both Lucifer and Dracula? She said her God is with her - is she possessed by another Angel? Or, something from an older religion?
