I found this gem on Amazon Prime. I am so happy that I stumbled across it and that Amazon Prime has such interesting cross referencing of people, directors and shows. Season 1 was good. Good characters, funny lines, great actors and hilarious camera angles. Kids would love this show. My son and I watched the first few episodes. He lost interest and I devoured the rest of the seasons.Season 2 was great. The actors really came into their own. I knew going in that there were 5 seasons. I think that if I had found this show (and was able to access it in America) in 2006-7 I would have been very sadden for such a long hiatus. Season 3 does not appoint. Although I got to go from Season 2 finale to Season 3 opener in 2 seconds flat, Season 3 is by far my favorite. Bad Vlad is amazing. It had me laughing the entire time. I know that it wasn't really meant to be so comedic but knowing where they were and seeing Vlad so disturbing was needed in the show. Season 4 is great and my second favorite. Malik is a fun addition.Season 5 is a waste of opportunities. The weakness of Vlad and the buffoonery that encompasses the Count is irritating to say the least. When Renfield is your favorite character of the season, you know something went wrong in the writing room. I am glad that everything was tied up in a nice little bow so I don't have to be sad not knowing what happened to the characters.

This show is a great example of a low-budget success. It has great writing and the delivery of lines by the actors is priceless. The story revolves around the son of Count Dracula. His name is Vlad. He has a sister(Ingrid) and they must integrate into human society with Vlad and Ingrid going to a regular school. Van Helsing is a teacher at the school and tries to expose the Count at all costs. Vlad does not want to become a vampire but his sister is deeply into her family heritage. Unfortunately for her tradition dictates Vlad will take over the family one day. Count Dracula is one of the main reasons to watch this show. To see him in his naturally evil surroundings and trying to raise his kids is brilliant. Not to mention parent/teacher meetings. This show is great fun and it goes to show you don't need a massive budget to pull off great television viewing.

This show is about Vlad, the son of Dracula. According to it's plot Count D lived on and had two children, Vlad and Ingrid. CD prefers Vlad due to the inheritance system and so encourages him in vampiric ways, but Vlad doesn't want to be weird, he wants to be normal. This is only made worse when Vlad and the family move to a castle- yes, a castle- overlooking an English town and Vlad attends school. Not a bad job, this show, but the vampire jokes do tire a bit after a while. The nemesis of the Draculas are the Van Helsings, vampire slayers. The many possibilities and plots that stem from this situation are used. It is quite an enjoyable show, and one good point is the humour, which is really quite funny. If you added a laughter track it would be a comedy show. The English town is used effectively as a nice backdrop, and isn't overly used to further the irony of the Draculas location away from Transylvania, instead relying on their character. A good show, but those stakes that look like ice cream cones ain't gonna kill nobody.

This is a really wild and wacky, OK its on kids TV but it is brill. I got around to watching it when I was ill but now I just have to record it each week. The cast is all really good from the kid actors to the adults, definitely including the 600 year old Count (who is pretty damn yummy). But the whole thing is just so great to watch …and its funny. Really nice characterisation by the actors all in all it's more or less perfect, apart from when they show it…Thursdays at 5pmBBC is putting out some good stuff at the moment and some absolute dross but why the heck doesn't this sort of quality get some sort of push into the schedule or at least some mention have they ever heard of cult following?
