1. Dracula
So it's not traditional sci-fi, but it's too intriguing not to include in this article. I'll admit the trailer had me skeptical, but after the show's pilot episode, I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this one. Fears of offending classic Dracula fans aren't really warranted; it seems to be staying as true as possible to the original story, with a few deviations in order to keep buffs on their toes. I should probably make a joke about Buffy in there somewhere but I'll refrain. The new spin on an old tale coupled with a phenomenal cast are the reasons why this show should be on your radar this season. Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Dracula) lends a sort of melancholic insanity to his role; his facial expressions are unassuming and pleasant at first, but look a little deeper and you can see murder in his eyes. Honestly, his eyes make a person really uncomfortable, but in a good "this is a murderous vampire" kind of way. Definitely give this show a chance, unless you don't enjoy seeing blood. Why are you considering watching a show about Dracula again?
