You're right, some crime dramas can be a bit slow (not just Inspector Lynley either).

I didn't know Matthew Goode was in one episode! I love him!! It was the best thing I found in 'He knew he was right'!! ;)

I couldn't imagine Marc Warren as Dracula at first, but later on, thinking about it, sounds intriging... and David as Van Helsing, I'm sure will be simply amazing! ;)
