If you take a good dose of gothic horror, a dash psychological thriller and a pinch of mystery, mix it up and throw it out in a Victorian London edge of space you get Penny Dreadful, Show Times new horror drama is now available in Norway via HBO Nordic.
The result is an exciting, but a little strange TV series, sure to capture the interest if you love classic horror stories. London's dark underworld Timothy Dalton is very strict and fierce in Penny Dreadful. (Photo: HBO Nordic).
When moving in such dangerous environments need extra security, and therefore hires Vanessa and Sir Malcolm into a gunslinger with a troubled past, American Ethan Chandler, played by Josh Hartnett.
We also meet a brilliant but secretive doctor, played by Harry Treadaway, and a beautiful but tuberculosis hit whore, played edge of space by Billie Piper. Everyone has their own story, woven together in the first two episodes.
The screenplay, written by John Logan (including known for his work on Gladiator, Rango, Sweeney Todd and Skyfall), is written in language that is credible to London in the late 1800s, and the actors deliver edge of space mostly.
Josh Hartnett has never been a fabulous actor and he is also the show's weakest link, but he's still believable as a clearly troubled edge of space soul. Slow pace tells Josh Hartnett plays a gunslinger in a traveling Wild West show in Penny Dreadful. (Photo: HBO Nordic).
The dark alley, edge of space the misty river bank, the mysterious opiumbula and the decadent companies, seances with spirits on the other side - all is well represented, and this creates Bayona edge of space an exciting picture of 1890 London.
The series' greatest strength is how well-known characters from literature produced in a new way. When one is based on the classic tales, there is always a danger that feeling of reuse becomes too great, but Penny Dreadful manage to give me a feeling that I meet these characters for the first time.
Much better than American Horror Story so far. Timothy Dalton and Eva Green makes good performances, edge of space especially the latter. Wish not that Josh Hartnett was, even though edge of space he works a degree I feel the series is going to wear it focuses more on his character in an episode than they have done up to now.
Personally, I think AHS was gold until that awful, edge of space kitsch-schizo mageplasket amounting third season. Have never seen a series of sell out so morbid, but they are at least left with an abnormal fan base of young girl between edge of space 12-16. For me, slid across edge of space the range from 9/10 to a 5/10. If the mood of the Penny Dreadful so far, so I really hope that this keeps up going!
I've edge of space been waiting for you to write about this series! finally you did it, and I completely agree what you write, smart - this is lame, but good. ethan is the most boring character, edge of space and I wish a certain young gentleman (despite his bad British accent) had a more central role than Hartner. Harry Treadaway achievement is in my opinion OMSA equally worthy of applause edge of space as green and dalton's. spoiler: edge of space the interaction between victor and proteus was anything I liked best about the series, so the disappointment was quite large when proteus dead (and especially on the way).
Awesome series. Recommend everyone to see. In any case, those who like movies and series covering this era. Enjoy yourselves. I have link on tvitter. There are also two feature films or versions prior to Penny Dreadful. One from 2006 and one from 2013. A short film from 2005 that also.
Yes, the series has received some proportionality appear to be a rip-off of the comic, but when it's done so well, I think it's fine. League is rumored to be TV series, with Michael Green on board as screenwriter. Have not yet heard anything about how the development goes on for a while.
This seemed interesting fact, until you mentioned vampires ... I'm old horror enthusiast, but vampires (like zombies) have unfortunately been destroyed edge of space forever. I stand to give it a chance. ;) One other horror series I enjoyed was American Horror Story.
It is the same concept as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. edge of space This is what LXG movie should have been, since Penny Dreadful is much darker than the movie, and more in line with the comic Allan Moore (I'm thinking of the first two volumes of Victorian steampunk)
