When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby, a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival.

The story is so multilayered. The essay at the end give very interesting insight into the classic and era that it was born out of. Mark Gatiss is fabulous! He breathes life and pathos into every passage. I have enjoyed him in "Sherlock" "Game of Thrones" Doctor Who" but have never heard his great readings before. Bravo!

In London’s MI5 headquarters a scandal is brewing that could disgrace the entire intelligence community. The Downing Street superforecaster—a specialist who advises the Prime Minister’s office on how policy is likely to be received by the electorate—has disappeared without a trace. Claude Whelan, who was once head of MI5, has been tasked with tracking her down. But the trail leads him straight back to Regent’s Park itself, with First Desk Diana Taverner as chief suspect. Has Taverner overplayed her hand at last?

I love this series! The mysteries are great. The "jaded" view of Jackson Lamb to the spook world he inhabited and his strange morality and loyalty to "his" misfits and "f"ups is somehow endearing. Love the relationships and the not so cool but real spy antics is hilarious.

I love David Tennet as a Doctor and as the incredibly actor that he is. From Shakespeare to the Doctor he amazes with his talent. This was a great story and a great showcase of his work.

A great beginning recap of the days events!
Reviewed: 09-11-22
Nicole Wallace hosts a great show that encapsulates events that are happening in our world. I find her use of her sources masterful. The show brings together great guests from experts in practicing, and more importantly, teaching law and ethics. Historians and former defense and investigative CIA, FBI, and defense department officials, people who have decades of experience, populate her show everyday. It is a wealth of across the spectrum information.

Best explanation of difficult topics
Reviewed: 02-06-22
These are some of the smartest women coming together presenting the ins and outs of the law that I have watched on tv and heard In their podcasts. Full of passion BUT clear and learned info on the law from different points of experiential perspectives. Funny, intuitive and full of the same head shaking at the baloney we ALL feel in some of today's news.

Stephen Lang is great! You'll remember his best as the cool but creepy guy who is ripped in Avatar. He does a great job with a cool story. Koontz never disappoints. Loved the characters.
