1. Yup. Have the DVDs for Season 1 and 2.

Looking forward to Season 3. I'm really impressed with the attention to detail with the clothing and settings. Plus, Eva Green, that woman is one hellva of an actor.

2. I think i'm gonna like it a lot.....I've only...

seen 2 episodes... but it seems like a GREAT cast. One thing.... whoever the guy was who played
Proteus and got killed in 2nd ep. is haunting to me for some reason. I can't stop thinking about him.
His eyes..his mannerisms...chilling.

5. Well, he was the one innocent soul among characters who were tainted with darkness. n/t

7. I think he's the same guy who plays the chauffeur on 'Father Brown'.

Very likeable character.

I only saw 2 episodes of Penny Dreadful, but I was disappointed when he was killed.

8. Thanks... I'll look him up. nt

9. BTW... Sarge. I might have already asked you this, but.....

Do you watch The Last Ship?

I'm assuming from your screen name that you have a Military/Police background of some sort?
Perhaps I'm wrong.

3. I enjoyed the first season.

But, i think they're just upgrading the gore and shock value. Not sure there's a defined storyline here.

Great actors, though. I don't think they could have come this far without good actors in those roles.

4. After only watching 2 episodes....

I'm getting a X files meets Sherlock meets American Horror story type of vibe.

6. I'd add League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film -- as it should have been done. n/t

21. I agree... I think that the gore detracts from what is otherwise..a great production. nt

10. It's on Showtime, I might have to check it out

I don't usually watch horror unless enough people think it's extraordinary and amazing

[clarice]

11. Lion..... yes I love horror as well.... I hope that they...

tone down the gore a bit....I thinks it detracts from the EXCELLENT acting. Do check it out.

[clarice]

12. And the BEST thing is....no commercials !!!! nt

13. We're watching it. It's entertaining,

but it hasn't really 'hooked' me.

[clarice]

14. For this genre of show... I think that the acting is a cut above that of most "spookems".nt

[qnr]

18. I agree n/t

15. If you're on the first season...

wait until episode 5. If that one doesn't grab you, then there's no hope.

[qnr]

17. I think we're at episode 7 now, the one

after the plague ship. I didn't mean to imply that I don't like it - I do, it just didn't catch with me. For example, even though I'm not a huge Batman or crime drama fan, Gotham hooked me and I binge watched it.

20. BTW... aren't Josh Hartnett and that Dorian Grey character hot hot HOT ?????? nt

[blogslut]

22. Haha, yes, they are attractive men.

I appreciate that during that a particular scene the actors "went for it". Ultimately my favorite male characters are The Creature and Mr. Lyle, the Egyptologist. Eva Green is a damned revelation.

16. Me too! I just finished the second episode.

So far I'm really enjoying it, still being introduced to the variety of well-known characters who are somehow intertwined.

19. Cool isn't it?nt
