? yea *beep* nbc
shareNBC hasn't canceled Hannibal yet so they're still good. Plus Showtime's Hannibal is everything this should have been.
shareShowtime's Penny Dreadful*
sharehannibal tries too hard and takes itself way too seriously. and the cast is hideous - they can't act. you couldn't pay me enough to waste an hour of my time every week on hannibal. they should have cancelled hannibal instead of dracula.

Hannibal is brilliant and the actors were wonderful. Best show on television.
Dracula tried to be The Tudors on a Prime time network and failed. Again, Penny Dreadful succeeds far better and with a better cast
you can call it "brilliant" till the cows come home and i'll still despise it. i was turned off on day 1 by will's silly trances. stupid "mystical" nonsense in a show that purports to be about a "genius" cannibal. it's singularly loathesome. it also rips off dexter which is a sacrilege since it isn't good enough to be mentioned in the same sentence.
penny dreadful on the other hand is excellent, but there was plenty of room for more than one show of that genre.

Don't hate just because your show got cancelled Unlike Dracula, Penny Dreadful deserves its spot. And Hannibal is great.
Come with me if you don't want paint on your clothes.
It was not MY show it was ours :) It made fans all over the world :) And plus, this is not NBC's first good show that got cancelled.....they keep doing this apparently.
shareNBC has a knack for cancelling great shows, but this was not one of them. When I said "your" I was referring to the handful of fans Dracula had (<--- hyperbole). It was forgettable fluff masquerading as something smarter. The end.
Stop! Manners time.
Dracula was intelligent, brilliantly cast, writing, etc. all top quality. It's ridiculous that shows like this and Channel 4's Utopia get canned while drivel like NCIS comes back year after year.
share^ Exactly. Dracula was a brilliant series, and as the OP said, NBC sucks.
🐺 Boycott movies that involve real animal violence (& their directors) 🐾
Trouble is tho no one was watching. It had strong numbers for the pilot episode but by the next week nearly forty percent of its viewers dropped off. And with the weeks following, more numbers dropped. Hell, I gave it three weeks before jumping ship.

It's great how this Dracula and his fans still get trolled and promos for other shows are planted on his Board.
Btw...the Petition for continuation Dracula (2013) is meanwhile signed by 28,600 supporters.

Yes it's truly disgusting. About Penny Dreadful, I've tried to like it but there is way too much gore. I guess that's what audiences prefer and it takes the place of a good storyline.
Be nice to each other, you may be speaking with an angel.
Yes, the "Trollism" also on this Board is somewhat annoying.
Will open in a few a new Thread for the Dracula-Petition.
This headline is somewhat negative.
"Hope dies last!"
This thread's title may be negative, but it is true. NBC has a horrible reputation for cancelling decent shows. They've been doing it for about 48 years now. It seems to be all they know how to do with shows. Give them half a season to a season, claim to be surprised by how many people like the show, and decide to cancel it anyway because it wasn't the kind of show they were looking for. Really? Then why put the show on in the first place???
In the past few years they've cancelled nearly every show they've "taken a chance on." Let's see, there was Harry's Law, Awake, Community, Revolution, The Michael J. Fox Show, Believe (a show I was invested in), Crisis, Ironside, Growing up Fisher, Welcome to the Family, and now Dracula (this list is courtesy of the Christian Science Monitor). Now, I haven't heard of most of these shows, but the point is, all of those were cancelled from the 2014 season(with two from previous years). That's a lot of shows to cancel in one season. It's as though NBC is trying to set a Guinness Book of World Record for the most shows cancelled.
And if you want to see what shows they're putting in place of all the cancelled ones, just check out the Christian Science Monitor. Of all the new shows they are putting up, ONE catches my eye, and I am reluctant to tune in to it, because I predict that it will be cancelled after three episodes at the most because it's more fantasy related (but not in a DC Comics way).
Anyway, it's just disheartening to see so many cancelled shows. It's no wonder I stopped watching the "Big" regular networks, and watch more cable/satellite channels' shows. And someone on this board in another thread mentioned hoping Netflix picks up Dracula. I hope they don't, only because it should go to cable/satellite. Not everyone has Netflix or wants it. It's about as bad as BBCA's Ripper Street getting picked up by Amazon for its third season. I love that show, but now it's unlikely I'll ever get to see the latest season.
I'm just getting tired of trying to invest my time in a show, only to have it ripped out from under me.
Lol, wut?
shareIts not NBC's fault. Johnathan Rhyse Meyers was difficult on set and he was having issues with drinking etc. He is the reason the show was not renewed. It has nothing to do with ratings or such. JRM was impossible to control. This told to me by one of the writers of the show.
... End of line.

Its not the network. JRM was difficult on set and was hard to control his drug abuse. He is the reason the show is gone.

Re: Is season2 comming??
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2296682/board/thread/225396967?d=235101228
Unless JRM gets his drug abuse under control the show will not renew. My sis knows the show creator and some writers and she told me the show was canceled due to JRM difficulties. He needed a babysitter basically to keep him clean. The show and network cannot come out and say this but this is the real reason.
I pray JRM can get healed not just for the show but to get his life back.
... End of line.
It's great how Dracula and his fans still get trolled!
Now this fine expert needs to scatter rumours in 3 different Threads within less than 5 mins.
Even not able to write Jonathan Rhys Meyers correctly!!!
First the wanna-be expert heard it himself.
Next the aspersions are presented as plain facts.
In the third "expertise" we learn:
The wanna-be expert heard something what allegedly his "sis" was told.
Must be true when he heard something his sister heard!
Conveniently a proof is impossible and no source necessary.
If he/she/it heard that, all is fine!
And for sure the wanna-be expert's best wishes are honest and heartfelt!
Hey!
Can provide everybody with a top secret information also!
I heard Richard Gere had a Gerbil in his rectum!

... Really? If you're trying to trash an actor with insider information, then at least spell his name right.
Fück you NBC. Your network had a really well written, well acted supernatural drama in Dracula and you cancelled it for the utter crap that is Constantine? I'm glad you have a creative failure and ratings disaster on your hands now. You certainly deserve it.
share[deleted]
Your opinion, which I don't care about. Who knows what *beep* you enjoy.
General consensus amongst those who have seen both is that Constantine is a far inferior show and that NBC should've kept Dracula.
[deleted]
You're entitled to your opinion--however you're stating it like its fact. And don't take my word for it--just do a Google search. Critics have universally panned Constantine.
[deleted]
It was Dracula--just not Bram Stoker's version. There's nothing wrong with a reinterpretation of a classic. In fact, had it been just a remake of the 1992 film there would've really been no point in ordering the series, would there?
share[deleted]
Seen both and can't agree more.
Dracula was one of the few shows that I really waited impatiently for, and I dwelled if I should watch any more of Constantine after seeing its pilot (!) episode. The one thing I really enjoyed was the soundtrack. But the storyline is incredibly dull. :D
All this bull about JRM is Bull - yes he likes to drink but come on - he carried off how many seasons of the Tudors? He did this season brilliantly. I have no idea why shows like this and the Borgias get cancelled - Penny Dreadful goes no where - and Netflix is fine - you can watch every episode back to back - like I just did instead of waiting for weekly installments. This is the future of TV. I watched the whole of GOT on a suscription - all four seasons in about two weeks - its much better than watching weekly or watching with adverts.
