Penny Dreadful

With all it's Bond connections and legendary characters I wondered if anyone has been watching.

It's already been renewed for a second, longer series.

I've seen a couple of episodes so far and thought Eva Green has been sensational in it.

Anyone seen it?

    It's on HBO (or Showtime?) in America, and, alas, I don't have that channel. Looks good, though!

    I've got it on series record as I prefer to watch a few episodes at once...and anything with Eva Green in it is worth watching :x

    Apart from the fact it has Timothy Dalton in it (that's just a bonus) this is right up my street.

    Love a bit of Victorian ghosts and ghouls.

    The acting has been great especially by Eva and Harry Treadaway. It's clever how it's all meshing together.

    It's a shame it's on Sky Atlantic as it will have a limited amount of viewers. Hopefully will be on Netflix so it can reach a wider audiance.

    I must give it a go as I have NowTV and sky Atlantic is one of the channels, I think they also have
    a catch up service. {[]

    Just watched episode 3 on catch up and it's great, I'll be watching the series.
    ( to add to the list of Bond actors R Kinnear is in it too ) :))

    Try and watch from the beginning. There is a seance scene in Ep 2 that was great. :o

    Little interview here TD gives to The Wrap about Penny Dreadful ... There's also the obligatory Bond mention. :007) -{

    It nice that someone asks him directly what's his correct age .... What's not so nice is TD's answer makes it even more confusing. :))


    Also, anyone Stateside who wants to see the opening episode can watch it for free on Showtimes website.

    Watched a bit of a behind the scenes doc on it today and only
    Realised that as well as written by J Logan, Sam Mendes is a
    Producer. So simply loads of Bond connection to this show. -{

    I can't wait for Penny Dreadful to be available on DVD. I want to see the series and I don't get Showtime.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Just watched all three episodes back to back, and it's fantastic. As Lady Rose
    Pointed out the seance episode is brilliant. -{ can't wait for the next one.

    I was really excited about this because of the time period its set in, the cast, the abundance of talented people involved in the production and the teaser trailers I'd seen but having watched the first three episodes I thought it was actually a bit boring to be honest. Unfortunately, I've not found a TV series I've loved since The Wire finished.
    Things I hate:
    1. People who hate things.
    2. Irony.
    3. Lists.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    I noticed in the first episode that there is a scene where Eva Green sitting
    across from Josh Hartnett, "reads" him just as she did as Vesper with Bond
    in CR. :D

    Eva is stealing the show IMO. Fantastic acting.

  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    Agreed -{ , she's giving a fantastic performance. :)

    Have seen her 'Sin City' poster, it has been banned ;%

  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    I've seen a few posters, so don't know if I've seen the banned one. :))
    Although they all looked very nice, ................ to me at least. :D

    Saw the penultimate episode this afternoon .

    I have loved this show. The actors have all been sensational IMO.

    The one I'm really enjoying is Victor Frankenstein. Harry Treadaway is proving to be a fabulous actor.

    Don't think we'll get all the answers by the end of this series. I believe they're just laying a lot of groundwork.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    It has been a brilliant series and I'm sure the crumbs are being
    Placed out for series two. :D
