What an interesting show with a mix of 19th century Victorian characters. Penny Dreadful takes Mary Shelly's: Frankenstin, Bram Stoker's: Dracula, Oscar Wilde's: Dorain Gray, werewolves, and demons.
The funny thing is, with the seriousness of the plot and characters, Frankenstein's monster does acknowledge Shelly's writings. So far, no other author of the horror tales relate in such ways yet.
Actually this Sunday, 6/30/14, is this short season finale'. Do miss it. The show is really awesome. With an introduction of new characters and the intermingling of the familiar ones, this plot has lots of mystique, violence, undertones of more going on with each character that the story is not revealing, and lust. Lust. Yes Eva Green is looking superb in her Victorian, dry and dafty dress and hair.
Josh Harnett who plays an American traveler in London, running from his past is quite they mysterious person. Something is hinted at this when.he reads letters from his father. He has been hired by Sir Malcolm Murray as a hired gun, in search of his daughter Mina Harker who has been taken by a vampire. Thrilling story. Catch it tonight!
