Show: Dracula (NBC)
Time: 10PM
The Concept: Dracula (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is resurrected in Victorian England and decides to set himself up as an alternative energy magnate as a way to strip power from the League of the Dragon, a supernatural order that’s consolidated its power by buying up oil interests, predicting it’ll be the key commodity of the next century. I am not actually kidding.
The Verdict: Vampires are pretty played out at this point, but Dracula, thankfully, has abandoned True Blood‘s attempts to treat them as a metaphor for gay rights, or Twilight‘s pretense of vegetarian vamps. Dracula himself is lethal, and thanks to the casting, reasonably sexy. And the idea of supernatural beings competing at technological innovation as cover for their presence among humanity isn’t terrible. There are a lot of convoluted things going on involving Jonathan Harker (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) as an apparently bribable journalist, Minna Murray (Jessica De Gouw) as a potential reincarnation of Dracula’s dead wife, who was killed by the League of the Dragon, and a rather more capable Renfield (Game of Thrones‘ Nonso Anozie) than is the norm. But as Halloween entertainment goes, Dracula‘s not a bad spin on a concept that’s close to drained. (*thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2013/09/13/2616081/201... -- ставьте лайк по ссылке )) )
