'Sherlock' was a mix of good and complete trash...so not really.
Is this about Vlad Tepes or Dracula? Or is it both?

I’m not much for horror TV, just me. Hope it’s good though, children of the night and all that.
If you ever feel like something very haunting, lonely and unique, try Werner Herzog’s “Nosferatu” (1979). It’s a great take on Stoker’s lore and it focuses on something the film adaptations almost never do: when Dracula hijacks the boat bound for Harker’s hometown...

Ending is 
. They could have come up with something better. Dracula in modern day london and they completely wasted the premise. Had him call a lawyer
and go on a date.

No I never heard of it until you spoke on it now. I’ll add it to my watchlist . Thx
I’m confused but I have a feeling that I just need to not delve into asking more questions and leave it alone.
It just released today! Series on Netflix- I’m watching ep 1 now. I’ll let you know.

2 episodes in and I've really enjoyed it. I'm excited to see how they take this home with the third episode. I love that there's a constant cat and mouse game being played, but that you're never quite positive who the cat is and who the mouse is in any given scenario. Van Helsing and Dracula are both REALLY compelling characters in this one, their dialogue with each other and everyone else shines. Dracula's powers are displayed in pretty unique ways too, especially the shapeshifting (I mean...woof). I also like the quirks here. Van Helsing's sarcasm and Dracula's ego drive so many clever moments in the dialogue.
Also, both of the first two episodes feel like their own unique stories altogether. You do need the first episode to understand some aspects of the second, but a LOT of it can stand on its own considering we're all familiar with the powers of the vampire and also that the many new characters need to have established bits explained to them anyway. The way episode 2 ends means that episode 3 will be another animal too.
On the negatives, I'm focused on the dialogue because the plot leaves a decent amount to be desired imo. There's quite a bit of plot convenience driving the events of the story. But if you can suspend disbelief and not do the "oh why doesn't he just kill that person" or "why wouldn't they be more careful here" then it's just straight up fun to watch. Another shortcoming to me is that I haven't found any of the other characters particularly interesting. The second episode did better with side-character and subplot development but it was still pretty light.
Lastly on the gore stuff, there was really only one bit that really made me squirm. The freakin' nails stuff fam. This is practically a trope, it happens so often in horror movies and shows. But it gets me every damned time. Yall will know what I'm talkin' about.

The monster universe should've been this tone instead of the Mummy. I did like yhe actress for the Mummy but it just came off way to silly
The time jump was perfect for Drac to be able to interact with damn near everyone
