I'm halfway through the 1st season of
Penny Dreadful. I currently average an episode a week, which is an all time low for me. But
t the show is absolutely amazing. It's everything I wanted
American Horror Story to be - it's creepy, exciting and at the same time heartwarming
and oh my god so f***ed up*. Interesting stories, many cool classical horror references and great characters. The main actress Eva Green is brilliant. A very insistent recommendation from me. Episode 2 'Séance' should tell you if you'll like the show or not. It was very... impressive.
Cheers.
*Just in Episode 5, I swear.
