Any of you blokes watching this? Really loving the series so far 4 episodes in with 5th airing tonight.

It's a new take on gothic horror literature and all those old characters we've become so familiar with over the years. So far it's really breathed new life into these classic characters and made them relevant and interesting again. Great writing and the cast is just perfect.

If you love any of the old works from Bram Stoker, Shelley, Oscar Wilde, etc as well as the Universal Horror films and the Hammer stuff you definitely should check this show out.

I was interested enough after the pilot to give it a second episode. I was sold after Eva Green chewed the hell out of the scenery during the seance scene in the second episode. Nothing in the series has topped that scene for me, though the reveal at the end of that episode came pretty close, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. I dig the aesthetic and vibe of the show and will definitely be sticking with it as long as it stays interesting.
