Penny Dreadful
 
The premise itself sounds mouth-watering.

Some of literature's most famously terrifying characters, including Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, Dorian Gray and iconic figures from the novel Dracula, become embroiled in Victorian London.
8-episode TV Series coming in 2014. With Timothy Dalton, Eva Green, Josh Hartnett, Rory Kinnear, Billie Piper among others.

Ditto! Two 007 stars in a Horror series!::smile:: Sounds really good.

Hope they stay fairly true to the characters in the novels. I grow increasingly weary of writers putting their own "spin" on these figures. The novels are popular because they got it right.

Does anyone know when this starts? When I first saw it advertised, all I could think about was the 2006 film of the same name, and was pretty skeptical, but the quote V posted sounds much more promising.

It's OK so far. Not sold yet

Made it halfway through the first episode. I found it a bit too polished and it seemed to take itself too seriously. I have to give this show some time but it seems like League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for the Hot Topic set.

Kinda lost interest in it

One more episode to go in the first season. I have enjoyed this show very much. Good acting, vey nice atmosphere and some decent FX.
Hope the season finale is good.

I loved this!
I thought Eva Green was really good. She looked like she lost weight for the role and in some scenes looked skeletal!

The Hunted 09-27-2014 02:41 AM

Another really good TV series! Everythings in this one ;-)

Watched the first four episodes so far and for the most part enjoying it.
