Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I’m your host Deffinition and with Dracula now dropping on Netflix it’s time to breakdown everything that you need to know about the limited series.
After the show premiered on the BBC earlier in the week it’s had the internet in an uproar and throughout this video we’ll be discussing all of the overall plot, the meaning of it’s final few scenes and the easter eggs that you may have missed.
Dracula Plot Recap
Ok so Dracula initially starts as a rough adaptation of the Bram Stoker source material before it veers off massively towards the end. Each episode is set around a key figure in the storyline that recaps the events of their episode.
Initially we are introduced to Jonathan Harker in 1897 who recounts his time at Count Dracula’s castle to two sisters.
These two sisters become key figures in the first entry and it’s revealed that one of them is Jonathan’s fiance and that the other is Van Helsing.
The former has been brought in because Jonathan has had pretty much his memory drained from him as well as his life force though he is able to discuss his time with Dracula in great detail. Van Helsing on the other hand has lost her faith, however after hearing the tale that Jonathan provides, she slowly begins to recapture it and we watch as this transforms her belief system throughout the show.
In the beginning, though we follow Jonathan as he arrives at the castle where he is met by a very frail and weak old Dracula. However, throughout the first episode Dracula Benjamin Buttons his way back to the prime of his life whilst Jonathan deteriorates rapidly.
From the off the show oozes it’s own unique style that updates the legend massively. In addition to this there is of course the gender switch with Van Helsing as well as hints that Dracula may be bi-sexual.
This sent some corners of the internet into an uproar, however Stephen Moffat who helped develop the show stated that Dracula isn’t bisexual, he’s bihomicidal. The writer later went on to say:
“He’s killing them, not dating them. He’s not actually having sex with anyone. He’s drinking their blood.”
The way I looked at it is that when humans eat meat we don’t really care about the gender that we’re consuming. If you’re straight you don’t care about whether your steak is male or female and this is mirrored in Dracula who consumes all.
Dracula is able to take on the intellect of those he consumes and he picks up Jonathan’s English skills whilst draining him. He can take a persons memories and intimate details about their life and thus he gains more knowledge the more that he feasts. He later refers to this as downloading. This also adds motive for why he wishes to travel to England as he views the population as sophisticated and thinks that this will refine his taste.
It’s a really unique take on one of our civilisations oldest villains and in this first episode Dracula really caught my attention.
Jonathan discovers a message carved into a window one night that says ‘help me’ and he begins searching for the lost soul.
The castle itself is an inescapable fortress full of twists and turns and as he delves deeper into it he discovers more of what is going on beneath the surface.
Dracula 2020 Ending Explained Spoiler Talk Review
Now this is where the show takes probably the biggest turn from the source material and after she proves to Dracula that sunlight cannot harm him she slowly begins to deconstruct his psychology.
Dracula is a coward that has been afraid of death his entire life, possibly because all of his ancestors died in combat on the battlefield.
