    I can see that but I just found it a surprisingly coherent popcorn movie and I sincerely wanted to see where they were going with the series.

      It's just a shame they didn't follow it up...they had the perfect setup to springboard into the rest of the monsters. Aberline should've become the "Werewolf of London" who seeks out a cure from one of the series' doctors...Frankenstein, Jekyll, or Griffin.
      A great twist would be having Aberline assigned to solve the very murders he was committing as the werewolf. Ah, if only...what could have been.

        ^Oh yeah, that aspect of it was fantastic, and I would have loved to have seen it explored as you said. He's kind of the Mister McDougal of that film. I was referring to the reveal of Anthony Hopkins' character.

        I can see that but I just found it a surprisingly coherent popcorn movie and I sincerely wanted to see where they were going with the series.
        Agreed. And they could have had Dracula be an SOB in modern times, and perhaps someone is able to call back to that lost nobler side. It had potential, for sure. And I like Luke Evans just fine.
