Penny Dreadful

This one won't be out until the summer, but I've definitely got my eye on it. I especially like this sentence, taken from the preview : No expense has been spared on creating a living and breathing historical London backdrop for Penny Dreadful

Fascinating. Almost makes me wish I had cable.

Really look forward to this one....been a big fan of Eva Green since here first film "The Dreamers" directed by the B. Bertolucci of "The Last Emperor" fame...

I watched the first episode and liked the show very much. Timothy Dalton and Eva Green really fit into the show's characters and I love the 1891 London setting.

Two great Victorian-era shows in "Ripper Street" and now "Penny Dreadful".

Looking forward to episode 2.

Totally agree. It's ripping supernatural yarn, superbly presented.

I call it the HBO channels.

Watching the 2nd episode. Gus should really love this series. Nothing like a medium repeatedly hissing the c-word during a seance!

WallysWorld · May 18, 2014, 12:47:38 PM

Yes. A pretty weird, but interesting second episode. Sent shivers down my spine more than once.

I've only seen the first ep so far, so please, no spoilers :P

That Egyptologist is one strange dude.

Silent Disapproval Robot · May 18, 2014, 05:45:34 PM

Caught up on it. Still not 100% on board but seems watchable.

Poor Mr. Proteus. I figured if anybody was going to impale him from behind, it would have been Dr. Frankenstein.

Agreed with you on Mr. Proteus.

Still watching the show and still seems very interesting. Dalton's character is definitely my favorite and his acting is bang on for the character.
