"Sister Agatha is 2020's first heroine"
A new take on 'Dracula' launched on BBC last night and it's already getting a big reception.
Claes Bang stars as the title character while Dolly Wells plays Sister Agatha, a descendant of Dracula's nemesis, Van Helsing.
The show will consist of three episodes which air over three consecutive nights.
It then heads to Netflix on January 4th so you'll be able to catch it there if you missed it on TV.
The latest adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic is developed by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, who also collaborated on 'Doctor Who' and 'Sherlock'.
You can check out the trailer here.
Below are spoiler-free fan responses to whet your appetite.

So, yeah, #Dracula is a delight.

Watching #Dracula I am aware that post #Buffy we are more interested in the slayer than the vampire

Give Agatha Van Helsing her own show....she's magnificent but she's more mesmerising than the Count!! pic.twitter.com/LI02YKsNz6— Coffin Boffin (@DrSamGeorge1) January 1, 2020

Well, that was GREAT!!! @Markgatiss and Steven Moffat might have created the best adaptation of #Dracula in a very long time. It captured all that classic gothic goodness but with some great modern twists and surprises...plus some nasty gruey body horror to boot. LOVED it. pic.twitter.com/g9BPnnWd69
