This. sounds. awesome.

I half heartedly started this the other night and just watched a few minutes... it was the nunnery with the one asking an apparently vampirized Jonathan Harker "So did Dracula do sexual intercourse on you?" and him looking super sketchy. I just turned it off at that point.

Some people I trust swear by this show so I'll give it a proper chance later.

There's just something off about it. I can't place my finger on why it doesn't feel right. It just doesn't.

Obviously, the gender-bend thing didn't sit right with me. It didn't seem to fit a purpose, and I was expecting this to get preachy. But then it didn't really hold with that, as other diversity characters appeared who were less than savory in their portrayal.

Some of the characters were completely unnecessary.

Tell me what you think after you watch it.
