New TV “Dracula” Lacks Bite
NBC didn’t get the memo that vampires are over. That’s what THR says. ‘Even with a sexy star, there’s no real reason for “Dracula”‘– which premieres tonight — ‘to exist in a crowded world of genre dramas. Even as a limited series, it’s hard to imagine that the world needs another go at Dracula. But NBC believes that a reimagining, or some might think a mangling, of the original is in order and thus summoned Jonathan Rhys Meyers to drink some blood.’
