> PLOT: Multinational immigrants traveling from the old continent to the new encounter a nightmarish riddle aboard a 2nd ship adrift on the open sea
> REVIEW: overall highly praised Pros: casting, directing, acting, cinematography Cons: some say slow pace, others confusing
> REVIEW IMDB: Not a regular period 'Titanic' drama, completely different! Don't let slow start fool you. As more details are added you're left asking questions and rooting for your favorite characters, lots of time exposing their backstory's. Through their "dreams" or is it their "reality" they each share a connection. Music amazing, works for dark atmosphere, fear & curiosity. Multicultural aspect authentic representation of life aboard a turn of the century immigrant ship.

Google: (better than M Mass) the writers went away from convention and wrote a character - Sister Agatha that was unexpected. Strong, smart & didn't fit into the typical vampire-story mold.
Google: a welcome breath of fresh air, I am loving the twists and turns! Agatha Van Helsing, blinking stroke of genius I’d say!! Lots of humour too, it works & the elements of horror are scary & gruesome This Dracula is suave, sophisticated, witty & bloody scary! Mark Gattis is too much of a horror fan to produce something mediocre & indeed he & Moffat have engineered a masterpiece! It has everything that is good about Sherlock & the wit of The League of Gentlemen who always did scary vampire funny but effective! - CreatorSallie PatrickStephanie SavageJosh SchwartzStarsElizabeth GilliesRafael de la FuenteRobert Christopher RileyFollows two of America's wealthiest families as they feud for control over their fortune and their children.

'22 me: S5: Overall disappointed it's focus on Lady Di she came off as a dis-likable poor me victim, maybe it was the fault of the actress who played her (didn't pull it off).

The concept original. When I saw WW2 I kinda rolled my eyes because we've seen it all before, but not this story. It doesn't feel old, which was cool, the character of Max really good, liked how he couldn't help but do the right thing, how he knew what he was doing & doesn't hesitate to kill people, & his swearing was a nice touch.
