I remember, when I was at University, just before the turn of the Millennium, doing a course on 'film and fiction'.

Basically, read the novel and then watch the film.

Dracula was one of the set texts on that course.

As was the film 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' which, at the time, I was unaware took, shall we say, more than a few liberties with the source material.

Since then, I've never come across a faithful adaptation.

Until now, with this probably the closest I've ever coma across/read/seen.

I'm sure we all know the story as it's part and parcel of popular culture: Dracula, Transylvania, Vampire, Van Helsing ...

Worth a read if you want to stick close but see that original text translated into a visual medium (even if some of the characters did not look *quite* how I imagined them to be).

The Sinner - Season 2
The Sinner - Season 2
2018 | Crime, Drama
After being disappointed by the first season, I was curious as to what the second could possibly about - but looked forward to hopefully finding out more about Bill Pullman's character, Detective Harry Ambrose.

A different town, a different killer and another mystery that goes far beyond the deaths that we see in the first episode. Sadly, I still got the same feeling of "oh, that's it?" when it was all over.

Once again, the story comes to us via the medium of flashbacks, and, once again, the characters are just so unlikable.

We catch glimpses of Ambrose's past and are treated to flashbacks of, for instance, interactions between the "mother and son" who are the main focus of this investigation - but where you never really find out what the actual point of these scenes was.

I really do love a good crime thriller - sadly, this show just isn't the one for me.
