dragoness_eWatching the original Dark Shadows on NetFlix #darkshadows

Fortunately, NetFlix skips the early season 1 crap when the show was still figuring itself out & starts with the 1st Barnabas Collins ep.
Ep 3. Creepy handyman hasn't been seen since he opened the wrong coffin. However, 'Cousin' Barnabas has just shown up.
Gotta wonder where he found the modern suit & tie if he's been stuck in a coffin for the last 180 years or so.
Barnabas, for someone who supposedly grew up in England, you're missing the accent.
Barnabas, did you get a crash course in 'how not to sound like an antiquated dork' from Willie? You are far too smooth here.
Victoria, did you just send the kid out to play? Barnabas is in the study. That means it's dark out. You hate the kid, right?
Oops, he still sounds antiquated to the kid. Needs to work on those modern English lessons.
Time for #darkshadows ep. 4...

Victoria, you sound stoned whenever you're narrating.
Caroline, if you need to take a taxi to get home from the pub, how did you get there? Teleport?
Meh. Thought we were going to find out why Blackmailing Git is blackmailing Elizabeth. Nope. Just hints and relationship angst.
On to ep 5
'That door was shut tight! How did you open it?'
'With a little technique & practice'.
Yes, Barnabas knows about doorknobs.
Context: 'the wind' blew the double door shut. Victoria tugs hard on the doorknobs, can't open the door. Barnabas steps up to the door, turns the doorknob, and the 'stuck' door opens.
Old Collins House should be on the Historic Register. And ought to be restored, if everything Barnabas says is correct.
Enter Uncle Roger. Egads, that suit is hideous!
Barnabas, you've noticed the rest of the Collins household is oblivious, so you're making these sly hints to us, aren't you?
"Dear viewers: I am undead. Thus my quips about 'the house not being INTENDED as a tomb' & how living the other Collins are.
Victoria is still boggling over Barnabas's skill at turning doorknobs.
Apparently, Barnabas does drink... wine.
