I have read many books about Vlad III Wallachia also called Vlad Tzepesh aka Dracula son of the Dragon since i was a little Kid.
I have to say this is one of the best Dracula of all time for me.
its true it changes a lot of bram stokers Dracula but i like it very much
The Series starts in Romania, in a tomb and we see 2 shadowy Figures lower themself in it. In the Middle of the room a coffin. the 1st figure (Van Helsing) starts working on the coffin to see if someone is inside. At the same time his Partner finds some Diamonds beside the coffin and claims that they are rich. Van Helsing walks up on him and slits his throat open and puts him above the coffin so that the blood can get to Dracula. The Series then switches ten years later.
We learn that Dracula goes undercover by the Name of Alexander Greyson an American industrialist. He lives in Carfax Abbey whit his servant Renfield. In the 1st 3 Episode we learn that Dracula is obsessed whit destroying the order of the Dragon. Which killed his beloved Illona.( I think that is even the real name of the wife of VLAD III Illona Szeleky) In this operation he gets helped by Dr. Abraham Van Helsing ( yes the vampire hunter works with him :) )
I really liked it that they have put many things in this Movie like The Order of the Dragon. I don't remember to have ever heard of the dragon order in any other Dracula Film apart from the Awful VLAD (2003) movie.
To any who is interested in Vlad the Impaler and Vampire Folklore should watch this. I don't get why many ppl hate this. I have watched almost every single Vampire movie out there (twilight i haven't seen that and i never will :P) and this is one of the best i have seen.
If they go for a second season i hope to see Vlads Brother Radu as a Villain or even the Blood Countess Erzebeth Bathory that would be cool.
Go and support this Series really and this comes from a hardcore Horror Fan since 20 years.
