Anyone catch this on Netflix yet?
It's loosely based on the Castlevania III NES video game.
The characters got some nice depth and backstory to each of them, and the series upped the gore factor by about 1000 percent (Considering Dracula raises an army from the bowels of hell, those demons do some pretty graphic killings).
The only con is that this first "season" is ridiculously short (clocking in at only 4 episodes long).
But it's a really good series that I'm intrigued to see more of.
