Penny Dreadful

Ok. THIS is good. Just started it a bit ago and am on Season 1 Epi 3. I did NOT see that coming in epi 2 at the end...which is what I like. Surprises.

Tolja I'd be up til 2am.

Just finished season 1. Tomorrow..season 2. But I plan to start earlier, lol.

Yeah...tried to like the show......they have sex, talk about depressing things, look moody, then oh yeah, the last few minutes per episode they actually have a story that they try to follow....

I have finished all three seasons and my reaction was puzzled disappointment. They make a big deal about how he is "God's wolf" but in the end he solved the problem with his gun and never, ever needed to be a werewolf to fulfill his so-called "destiny" to save the world. It was a glaring hole in the plot that Alfred Hitchcock calls "fridge logic" because the problem occurs to you a half hour after the show ends while you are staring into your refrigerator.

Still the show tried to reach levels in art and language where other cable shows just can't get above the 92010 level.

2aguy was mesmerized by Mrs. Poole.

You did good, Gracie. The level of suspense and quality of story telling at that quality of demand exceeds creative capability after 20 episodes.
