Episode 2 is the goods. Any issue I had with the pilot is completely gone. When it ended, the wife and I looked at each other and were like 'yeah, this just became essential viewing.'Originally posted by Anderson View PostOriginally posted by MartinOriginally posted by gravediggerOriginally posted by MartinComment

Powered through episodes 2 & 3 of Penny Dreadful. I enjoyed the pilot, but these two episodes... DAMN. Shit's gotten really real, folks! The seance with Eva Green and Timothy Dalton, Proteus (sniff), Caliban, and where some of this stuff is leading to... Officially in for the long haul on this show.
And it comes on right after Game of Thrones! ROCK!Comment

Neville Sinclair somehow survived the Hollywoodland sign fiasco, traveled back in time to set up shop in Victorian London, became an adventurer, and lost his daughter to vampires (which along with all of the other gothic monsters exist) and wants her back.
It's like Taken, but not at all, because the show would be over in five minutes.
Instead, he hires Eva Green's crazy ass (she's a medium/clairvoyant/Chris Walken in that Dead Zone spoof on SNL), Frankenstein, and Josh Hartnett to help him out. He also has a sassy black manservant who don't need no man who has badass African tribal scars.
That's about it.
Oh, and there's an Egyptologist Frenchman who is the Ruby Rhod of the ensemble. His shit is ridiculous.Me quick one want slowComment

I will say this, episode 1 is very very flat. You will EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH all over it. Fortunately, it picks up large amounts of steam in the second and the ending to that ep will make ya want to watch the third immediately.Me quick one want slowComment

Also has Billie Piper as an Irish prostitute with consumption!
And, like Russ said, Ruby Rhod!
Plus mentions of Jack The Ripper, werewolves, possible appearances from a mummy (lots of Egyptian Book of the Dead stuff on display, so...).
Scenery and costumes are terrific, pacing's pretty good and the story's not stagnating. Also, I think the season's only 8 episodes, so if anything, it's a nice diversion while watching your other shows.Comment
