Here i was sitting and thinking about, who else out there is just as crazy with the series as me?
and wonder which character are the people's favorite

For me it's a hard decision because I love them all, i have a particular weakness for Dorian Gray and Jekyll&Hyde and of course Dracula but.. Rory Kinnear as the Creature aka John Clare is just i have no words.. really beautiful, and well thought out.. and also is Harry Treadaway aka Dr. Victor Frankenstein - obviously they two are my favorite


What about yours?

Hi Technology!

I have indeed watched this show. Or I tried to. I watched the first two episodes from the first season but stopped half-way through the third. I just couldn't. There wasn't a lot of action in what I watched to keep me hooked. Just a lot of plot and sex. A LOT OF SEX. Like at least one steamy scene per episode. And it was like an Showtime show so it was pretty revealing for a television show. LOL

As for favorite characters, I really like the four main characters.

Sir Malcolm, Vanessa, Ethan (Josh Hartnett is the best), and Victor.

Also when I first saw Dorian, I immediately hated him

I'm not saying the show was bad, just that I like it a lot and wished they toned down the adult content a bit.

I'm looking forward to see the next episode, my favorite character is Ethan.

I understand well your opinion, about season one.
It is also hard to understand, when you have only seen a few episodes of the series.
You may have right in there is alot of sex, but i have not really notice it lol.
I think it's because i also see game of thrones, and yeah, adult content is in every goddamn episode .

I think the reason I love the series, because it's pretty "Deep" - psychologically, and I am quite a big fan of that.

Yes Dorian can seem quite irritating, but his character is more than that. we have not heard enough about him, after my opinion.

My fascination with him, stems probably most after I've seen the movie Dorian Gray.







Which series do you like to Watch?

Hmm, yes I've watched only two episodes, quite the intersting show though!

I watch the show. I enjoy the aesthetic and style of it, although I think the actual story so far has been pretty rubbish and predictable. My biggest problem with it is how boring the werewolf effect is on Talbot. I understand it's a tv budget but c'mon, even a latex costume would be better than 1920's style Lon Chaney Jr Wolfman.

I think what I like best about it is the production values of the Victorian setting - very authentic looking - and the acting. Especially Timothy Dalton and Eva Green; those two are theatrical powerhouses. The really stellar parts of the show are always the bottle-episodes focusing entirely on the backstory of Vanessa Ives. She gets at least one a season.
