Also, it occurs to Mina that Harker is, in fact, a frightful Swot. |

Meet Vlad the ImpresarioThe Blood is the Life - Why would you choose to have known Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers try on an American accent while all around him, everyone else is pulling on dialects that make Eliza Doolittle sound like received pronunciation? Because that pretty much sums up the unchained lunacy that surrounds this pilot, complete with anachronistic cleavage and sassy butlers. |
