Dracula (2020)

The 2020 BBC rendition of Dracula represents a daring evolution in Gothic storytelling. Created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the series dismantled the traditional monster mythos to explore the psychological fragility behind the Count’s immortality. Claes Bang delivered a performance that cemented his place among the greats, while Dolly Wells’s Sister Agatha Van Helsing provided a formidable intellectual foil. The show’s legacy is defined by its willingness to subvert expectations, particularly through its controversial leap into the modern era. By stripping away the romanticized veneer of the vampire, the creators produced a work that feels both ancient and strikingly contemporary. Its impact on horror television remains significant, proving that even the oldest legends can find fresh blood. Set a reminder for your watchlist to stay informed of potential revivals or news.
