Dracula, thoughts on BBC's new adaptation from Sherlock creators

What did everyone think?

I am surprised to have seen no discussion on it here.

I thought it was a good twist on a well tread tale. I feel like this adaptation is really going to explore the reasons behind Dracula's aversion to sunlight, crosses and why he needs an invitation to enter a premises. All of those classic tropes.

Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss really are two massive fanboys. Hopefully this adaptation can remain fresh and they don't make the same mistakes made on Sherlock.

The opening episode was very funny, however I feel it still suffers from being over-stylized, like Sherlock, there were some silly plot twists but overall it kept the momentum going.
