The legend takes new life.
It's the late 19th century, and the mysterious Dracula has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. He's especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night - useful for someone who avoids the sun. But he has another reason for his travels: he hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier. Everything seems to be going according to plan... until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife.

The first episode was quite boring but I gave it a second chance and... I loved it! It's a pity it got cancelled (specially after the events at the end of the season). :(
Loved it !!!❤️
Thank God it's ended.
Absolutely abysmal, NBC’s _Dracula_ has no interest in adapting Bram Stoker’s work and focuses instead on condemning oil companies and promoting “green energy.” Season 1 (and thankfully the only one) follows the vampire Dracula as he poses as a rich American industrialist set on launching a geomagnetic company in London; but secretly he’s working with Dr. Abraham Van Helsing to bring down a secret society known as the Order of the Dragon. In the anti-hero tradition Dracula is made to the good guy, and the actual good guys, Harker, Van Helsing, are turning into villains. And while it’s set in the 1890s, there’s no attempt to adhere to the social mores of the times; especially those concerning women, sexuality, and race. The writing is just incredibly poor, with things just happening with little explanation or set-up. However, the costumes and sets are extraordinarily well-done and create a rich visual aesthetic. A chaotic mess that doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing half the time, _Dracula_ was cancelled after 10 episodes.
This is such a great reimagining of the Dracula story & it feels very modern despite being set in the past. It's such a shame it only had one season especially with that ending, but a really good show nonetheless.
