Overrated and overhyped

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I found this gem on Amazon Prime. I am so happy that I stumbled across it and that Amazon Prime has such interesting cross referencing of people, directors and shows. Season 1 was good. Good characters, funny lines, great actors and hilarious camera angles. Kids would love this show. My son and I watched the first few episodes. He lost interest and I devoured the rest of the seasons.Season 2 was great. The actors really came into their own. I knew going in that there were 5 seasons. I think that if I had found this show (and was able to access it in America) in 2006-7 I would have been very sadden for such a long hiatus. Season 3 does not appoint. Although I got to go from Season 2 finale to Season 3 opener in 2 seconds flat, Season 3 is by far my favorite. Bad Vlad is amazing. It had me laughing the entire time. I know that it wasn't really meant to be so comedic but knowing where they were and seeing Vlad so disturbing was needed in the show. Season 4 is great and my second favorite. Malik is a fun addition.Season 5 is a waste of opportunities. The weakness of Vlad and the buffoonery that encompasses the Count is irritating to say the least. When Renfield is your favorite character of the season, you know something went wrong in the writing room. I am glad that everything was tied up in a nice little bow so I don't have to be sad not knowing what happened to the characters.

started watching this program because my 10 year old daughter put it on,now its me that watches it and she just ignores it,they are showing repeats on BBC,the new series 4 should start in the autumn.Keith lee castle who plays the count is a really good actor and a dish/eye candy for the mums,and the children in it are excellent,a very good cast and story line.we have been past the locations were it was filmed in series 3 unfortunately not while they were there.hoping they will be showing more locations in series 4 as indicated on you tube.really hoping they will be putting the other 3 series on DVD really soon.i think the show would appeal to a mixed age group.

This show is about Vlad, the son of Dracula. According to it's plot Count D lived on and had two children, Vlad and Ingrid. CD prefers Vlad due to the inheritance system and so encourages him in vampiric ways, but Vlad doesn't want to be weird, he wants to be normal. This is only made worse when Vlad and the family move to a castle- yes, a castle- overlooking an English town and Vlad attends school. Not a bad job, this show, but the vampire jokes do tire a bit after a while. The nemesis of the Draculas are the Van Helsings, vampire slayers. The many possibilities and plots that stem from this situation are used. It is quite an enjoyable show, and one good point is the humour, which is really quite funny. If you added a laughter track it would be a comedy show. The English town is used effectively as a nice backdrop, and isn't overly used to further the irony of the Draculas location away from Transylvania, instead relying on their character. A good show, but those stakes that look like ice cream cones ain't gonna kill nobody.

This is a really wild and wacky, OK its on kids TV but it is brill. I got around to watching it when I was ill but now I just have to record it each week. The cast is all really good from the kid actors to the adults, definitely including the 600 year old Count (who is pretty damn yummy). But the whole thing is just so great to watch …and its funny. Really nice characterisation by the actors all in all it's more or less perfect, apart from when they show it…Thursdays at 5pmBBC is putting out some good stuff at the moment and some absolute dross but why the heck doesn't this sort of quality get some sort of push into the schedule or at least some mention have they ever heard of cult following?
