Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss are teaming up to write a new BBC1 series:

[Dracula](https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2018/dracula)

Let’s see, who’ll play the lead? A Danish actor by the name of [Claes Bang](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BOTYzMjcwNzQ4Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNzcyOTgyNDE@._V1_SY1000_CR0,0,707,1000_AL_.jpg). Anybody know much about him? He looks appropriately dark and brooding.

But I’ll need Netflix if I want to see it in the United States. This series might be the show that pushes me into getting it.

At one point, BBC shows were available in the US on PBS, HBO or even BBC America. I’m annoyed that this and some other recent stuff is only available via Netflix.
