Penny Dreadful on Showtime

[LogGrad98]

So about 4 episodes in, and just can't get into it. So many tired cliches acting as if they are new. So many worn out characters with nothing new to say. Hey Frankenstein, build me a wife now, will ya? Uh-oh this weird thing might not be human. I wondered, where the hell are the werewolves, and there they were on cue. Then I thought, that guy will let one bite him, then guess what happened? I thought they needed another supernatural gothic horror character to round things out, and we got Dorian Gray. Yay.

This is a long drawn out League of Extraordinary Gentlemen with penises and boobs. Haven't decided if I will continue watching, but decidedly underwhelmed so far.

Good for Josh Hartnett to get some work.

Watched the trailer. Another vampire show with homo-erotic undertones. Gritty Twilight, if you will.

thats an anti gay remark bro.


stop making anti gay remarks!

3 episodes in and I like it. Just needs to develop characters right since they introduced so many already.

Not if you like homo-erotic undertones. And by the way it jumped from undertones to flat out gay.

Yeah it did.

Unless this season is 24 episodes long, they're running out of time to develop their characters.. I like the show. I could love the show. But I feel like I don't know anyone well enough to truly understand them.

Yeah it's heavy on mood and setup and light on plot and character. Not usually a good combo.
