Did anyone here watch "Penny Dreadful"?

[sigp220.45]

I did, and am glad I stuck with it after a rocky start. Its a Showtime series - a retelling and combination of some classic monster stories: Frankenstein, Dracula, The Portrait of Dorian Gray and (spoiler alert) The Wolfman.

I'm a sucker for the "fearless band of vampire hunters" genre, so this one sucked me in.



One of the characters is Josh Hartnett as a Wild West Show sharpshooter adrift in London. He packs a pair of SAAs that he puts to good use.

In the final episode, one of the main characters gets the latest in weaponry - a Mauser broomhandle.

I'm sure some here would not find it palatable - there is at one out-of-nowhere "Brokeback" moment, but all in all I like it and am looking forward to next season.

I enjoyed it too.

I watched it and found it to be somewhat entertaining.

Poor "Vanessa" seems like she can't decide if she likes being bedridden every few episodes.

You mean "Penny Nekkid" don't you

Mrs. Zip likes it but I think it's dreadful and I wouldn't give you a penny for it.
