Wasn't impressed with the pilot with other series having the similar themes. Will wait for the coming episodes if this is worth viewing. Or maybe I'm just getting fed up with these "period" series.
-
Episode 2 is out! ;D
-
That seance scene was superb! You gotta love Eva Green's large and piercing eyes.
-
Explorer Sir Malcolm Murray, American gunslinger Ethan Chandler, and others unite to combat supernatural threats in Victorian London.

Panalo yung two episodes....
-
andito pala si Alexei Volkoff >:D
-
And there is also a James Bond connection in this series....Eva Green, Timothy Dalton and Sam Mendes!
;D

;D
You can also add Rory Kinnear to that list, as he played Bill Tanner in the last two Bond movies.
This week's episode was excellent, as the series continues to build up the backstories of its supporting characters. Is Josh Hartnett a werewolf? And it looks like the show is setting up Dracula as its Big Bad.
-
looks interesting. i see Rose Tyler of Doctor Who is included in the cast.
-
watching now, thanks!

Obviously inspired by this.

Watched all 3 episodes yesterday. Ok naman so far. Gave me a "Supernatural" vibe.
-
after the last scene of ep4 it made me rethink of continuing to watch this series. lol

LOL bakit naman? Dorian Gray is a known hedonist and sybarite, so women--and men--are constantly attracted to him. I'm still not sure how he fits into our main characters' quest though.
I'm enjoying this series a lot; the writing, acting, and production values are superb; it's like a more menacing version of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (comics version, not the movie version), but with the characters having their own sinister agendas.
And good news: Penny Dreadful has been renewed for a second season with two additional episodes (total of 10, unlike 8 for the 1st season)
-
Yeah that ep4 ending scene was a bummer although I already had a feeling it was heading in that direction. Eva Green naman sana next episode.
-
If I'm not mistaken... Dorian Gray doesn't age... Looks-wise. He had this painting of himself which ages... While he retains his "good" looks.
I was shouting, "No, no, no!", during that last scene, though. Supremely disappointed in Cowboy.
nbc
-
ok lang yung scene na yun wag lang nila gawin palagi. hehe. the dorian gray character did not surprise me since thats what he is. but josh hartnett did.
and yes im still waiting for the eva green scenes.
-
My religion teacher in high school looks like Eva Green. On the other hand, Vanessa is really slutty!
-
will watch this later. 8)
-
Just saw the episode--excellent writing and acting...Eva Green should really get an Emmy nomination for this. (https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/41.gif)
-
So I got my wish - naked Eva Green...problem is that it was not the best way to watch her naked. Haha
-
She was also nude in the short-lived Camelot series.
-

Yeah. That's the better series to watch her nude. :D
Also, The Dreamers din na movie grabe si Eva Green dun
-
I don't know... Her eyes (.) (.) scare me.
nbc
-
will start watching this... mukhang mas maganda to kesa sa hannibal... :)
-
finally they dedicated an episode explaining eva's story at medyo na lost nako sa nangyayari. hehe.
-
Galing ng acting ni Eva Green sa ep.7
-
Pero saan napunta yung napakaraming gagamba?
-
That was a powerful and unsettling episode...which I watched past midnight, dammit---had to sleep with the lights and TV on, heh (https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/42.gif)
Eva Green deserves an Emmy for this series, nothing less.
-
pero naasar ako kay ethan/josh hartnett ha? alam na pala kung anong gagawin, di pa niya ginawa nang maaga.
-

the theories about Ethan Chandler is that he was some kind of Army Chaplain who did his share of bad things to the Native Americans, who in turn cursed him with lycanthropy. Totoo kaya? We'll see in next week's season finale.
-
ayan na!
finale na yun? mas maiksi pa kesa sa game of thrones? oh well. enjoy naman.
pero buti sabik si caliban sa kahit anong female companion. akala ko kasi, pag nakita nya yung bangkay, sabihin nya, wala na bang ibang choices? gusto ko yung mukhang theater actress! :D
-
It was a good finale, with a rather abrupt ending, maybe because they've been given the go-signal for a second season.
One thing that bothered me was that Caliban lived inside the Grand Guignol for what seems to be months, and he didn't even notice that there were vampires inside?
Best line this episode, from Ethan: "Monkey? No. No monkey." >:D
pero buti sabik si caliban sa kahit anong female companion. akala ko kasi, pag nakita nya yung bangkay, sabihin nya, wala na bang ibang choices? gusto ko yung mukhang theater actress! :D
LOL. If they follow the "Bride of Frankenstein" story, you'll know that the Bride will reject the Monster. And if Brona regains her memories, then this will create all sorts of problems for Victor and Ethan.
-
Yeah, naisip ko rin yun... dapat ang dami nang namatay sa theater, kahit na hindi si caliban.
-
maybe season 2 will be longer. kailan nga ba ang season 2?
-
Season 2 starts May 3:

Next month na pala. Waiting mode.

looks interesting. i see Rose Tyler of Doctor Who is included in the cast.
Di lang si Rose, pati si Rassilon!!!
Can't forget his ala-300 speech that closes "The End Of Time Pt. 1"
The whole premise reminds me of a "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" done right
-
just started watching this.. currently in episode 3.. looks promising!

Early Sunday morning, the Penny Dreadful YouTube account posted the full first episode of Penny Dreadful Season 2, a few weeks ahead of its May 3rd premiere. (http://www.themarysue.com/penny-dreadful-season-two/)
I'm not sure if the available downloads have edits in them.
-
Watched the first two episodes--I'm pleased that this show is as sinister and bloody as ever...but all that demonic chanting can be rather disturbing, so I just mute it >:D
-
Yes, nagstart na pala ang Season 2. Makapagdownload na nga. ;D
-
3rd episode was really good, with a Vanessa Ives origin story of sorts, featuring the great Patti Lupone making a guest appearance. The flashback also provides a possible solution to Vanessa's current dilemma with the evil witches who are out to get her; can't wait to see how this is resolved.
-
Human pinata he he he!
-
Penny Dreadful has been renewed for a 3rd Season (https://s.yimg.com/lq/i/mesg/emoticons7/41.gif)

Chilling buildup to next week's season finale...looks like all our leads are doomed--or are they?
And crap, having just lost another good character on another Brit show (Strike Back), looks like they did the same thing here. :'(
-
Sobrang bilis. Parang GOT lang kasi 10 episodes per season. Waiting for season 2 finale.
-
Just watched the finale...while I was glad how they resolved some plot points, I wasn't happy with the way other characters' arcs ended, but then again this is a Victorian show after all, so I guess they're saving it for next season.
And this snippet from a post-finale interview with John Logan reveals what's in store for next season:
IGN: One more now. What about Dracula? Not that that's the name he'll be called on the show, but I really did like the explanation, from a few weeks back, about the Fallen Angel being severed in two. And so will we meet the Earthly Half?
Logan: Yes. The central idea of the show, as I mentioned, is the character of Vanessa Ives. And the cosmology around her, the world around her, expanded a lot this season. And that part about the fallen angel, or the fallen angel's brother, will definitely play a part next season.
So, looking forward to Dracula as the Big Bad for Season 3 >:D
-
Another great season over. Good job! Waiting again for Season 3.
-
Eva Green is really sinfully delicious.

-
premiere episode of Season 3 has been released online, a week in advance of the TV broadcast
-
Oh, my. Must watch this. :)
-
That was a good season premiere, with everyone now separated and scattered, while Vanessa is all alone in London as Dracula makes his presence felt.
-
^agree. can't wait for the succeeding episodes. most likely season ender is when everyone will hook up again.
-
My hunch was right about the seemingly harmless Dr. Sweet, heh
-
sabi ko na nga ba eh!
-
Bloody threesome
-
Bloody threesome
That was disturbing, really.
Am wondering about this version of Dracula, who can walk during the day and has a reflection in mirrors.
-
Oo nga, so malamang, no effect din ang bawang at crucifix.
-
That was an amazing episode that showcased the acting of Eva Green and Rory Kinnear

Agree! Grabe itong episode. Ang bigat.
-
Hulog na hulog si Vanessa kay Dracula!
-
Hulog na hulog si Vanessa kay Dracula!
LOL, hindi na nga nakaantay, sa sahig na lang.
Some plotlines in this episode seem like foreshadowing, like Ferdinand Lyle departing for Egypt to check out Imhotep's tomb ... will we get The Mummy in future episodes?
Also, new character Catriona Hartdegen shares the same surname as Alexander Hartdegen, the main character of H.G. Well's "The Time Machine" ... will our characters time travel in the next season?
-
Vanessa has got to have the worst luck in suitors. Pag ako yan, patuka na lang sa ahas!
-
2 episodes left na lang pala!
-
2 episodes left na lang pala!
3 episodes pa--this season has 9 episodes.
Sana Wolfman vs Dracula or Frankenstein's Monster vs Dracula in the finale.
-
oh 9 ba? thanks. ito ayoko sa mga magagandang series, ang tagal nanaman ng aantayin for the next season.
-
Vanessa gave in!!! dang! can't wait for the next episode
-
Ang Dali mabola
-
Season finale na pala tomorrow-- episodes 8 and 9 will be shown one after the other for a two-hour finale event.
-
this season went by so fast! tapos isang taon nanaman aantayin? hope the season ender is a good one.
-
Now that's how you do a finale -- victorious yet heartbreaking. And as it turns out, it was also the series finale as well (http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/penny-dreadful-ending-season-3-series-finale-creator-interview-john-logan-david-nevins-1201798946/). Man, I'm really gonna miss this show. :'(

what?!?! man. i haven't watched it yet. sana ituloy pa din nila. :( and dami pa pwede ituloy sa story niya eh
(what a costly mistake on my end to click that link. spoiled :-X )
-
I'm still in shock
(http://i.imgur.com/133SGq9.gif)
Natawa ako kay Victor Frankenstein--it's like, "Oh hi there, long time no see--come with us" ;D
-
WTF!!! 2 episode pala yung kahapon! Nubayan!
-
Finally watched it. Di ko alam kung dahil na spoil lang ako pero parang ang dry ng ending.
Ethan easily sneaked out from drac to get to vanessa etc.
Ganda ng final fight scenes. Head shots galore
Will definitely miss this show
-

Yup, galing ng fight scenes, lalo na yung everyone vs. Dracula--each one was able to strike at him, but to no avail. Astig ni Dr. Seward, LOL ... but the best si Catriona, she's like the Buffy of the Victorian Age. Sayang talaga, they could've done at least 2 more seasons with this group without Vanessa Ives.
-

yan agad pumasok sa isip ko during the scene na grouped together sila while fighting off the vamps.
-
I will miss this show. Hayzt.
