I want to check this out. I've read the first two episodes are good but third is bad.

I want to check this out. I've read the first two episodes are good but third is bad. The third is watchable but silly. Episode 2 is by far the best with a single location (she) and a genuinely creepy atmosphere. The series is an easy watch but Claes Bang - fine actor though he is - isn't scary at all, and plays the Count as too smug to be charming. Worth a look, though.

The first two episodes were really good but the third really goes off into totally unexpected territory and fumbles a little. Bang looks the part and is both funny and intimidating.
Wondering if this will become a recurring series like Sherlock or is that it?

Just watched episode 1 and enjoyed it. I loved how they played with the original story in some of the twists.
The humor is ok but I wish they went without.

The First 2 episodes were great but the last one was crap with a capital C.

I did finish this and agree that the third part wasn't that good. I also really didn't like the Lucy Westenra character.

I know it's not uncommon for a BBC series to make 90-minute episodes, but I don't think this particular series needed its 3 episodes to be that long. Not that there aren't dramatically entertaining moments and subversive twists, but the plot feels stretched-out. Claes Bang's performance is good Dolly Wells plays the best-written character, but I didn't find her performance convincing. Most of the dialogue is meant to be witty, but only a chunk of it felt truly funny and clever. The 1st episode suffers from bad visual effects, but the other 2 don't luckily require to use them very often. In fact, the 2nd episode takes place mostly on 1 location, so I guess they saved enough money for the sets, costumes, etc... Without getting into spoilers, the 3rd episode requires the cinematography and the production design (regardless of the location) to be more stylish... and the show delivers.
