Shows that I’ve been watching recently

I get the impression that Dickinson is not getting as much attention as some of Apple TV’s other originals like The Morning Show and See, it doesn’t seem like many people are talking about it at all which is a shame. I found it to be such a charming and funny coming of age tale, and there were some genuinely heartbreaking moments too when it came

I think that Lucy was an interesting idea as someone who didn’t really care about dying, but yes it seemed like her initial meetings with Dracula were all skipped over when we jumped to three months later, and so then there just wasn’t a connection there to be drawn in by when so much of it had been rushed through anyway. Same with the lawyer played by Mark Gatiss and the guy with the crush on Lucy, it felt like none of the modern day characters were very emotionally engaging, certainly none of them had much chemistry with one another or with Dracula. Although actually I did weirdly love that little moment when Dracula tells burnt Lucy that her appearance doesn’t matter to him, but it was the delivery from the Dracula actor that I liked in that moment, it still wasn’t so much a case of the actors connecting on screen if that makes sense

And agreed that I liked the idea of the ending, and how beautifully directed it all was as well, but there was definitely something about it that felt a bit rushed when you suddenly find out that Dracula is feeding on Zoe. I guess they wanted it to be a final twist to surprise us with when you discover that he had decided to commit suicide in the end, but it did all happen so quickly that it was a bit hard to take in. I liked the idea, but maybe the execution of it could have been better somehow
