Every creaky character, every labored line of dialogue and every prosaic plot twist in this anemic series is covered in an inch of tomb dust.

Drac's mission will be driving this story, which means we need a commanding presence at the center. Rhys Meyers plays it more subtly. That's a valid acting choice. It just doesn't make the story as bloody good as it might be.
