Great movie starring, Timothy Dalton, the best working in film and TV today. The film is scary. The sets, wardrobe, photography and writing are incredible. I cannot understand why this series did not get the best actor in a series, Timothy Dalton;Best actress in a series, Eva Green; Best script, best costumes, best directing and more Emmy Awards. I think the Emmy Awards are rigged.

This is an enjoyable flight of dark fantasy. The scenes at the Grand Guignol (this is what folks did before horror movies) are rather like the series in microcosm. The characters are theatrical onions. We watch as layer after layer is peeled back with growing apprehension that the centers are dark, slimy and rotten. Binging this series is my latest guilty pleasure. Also, it's great to see Billie Piper again, and dirty old man that I am, to see all of her! Like the Grand Guignol, Penny Dreadful appeals to our basest and our highest instincts while never insisting that it be taken seriously.

The Penny Dreadfiul series is to me fantastic. I have always been a fan of the old time horror films and literature. This series incorporates characters, such as, Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man, among others, and tells stories with a different twist. The writing is great. The acting is superb, especially Eva Green. This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite programs ever.

This set is amazing. The extra material is so complete. The menus are also very entertaining. The edition case is just normal, maybe they should have created a different art (is the same as the slip case) but thats ok. The slip case has a nice glowing effect. Worth every cent.

Very different type of movie and has a great cast. Eva Green is one of my favorite actresses and her Gothic appearance made for a good casting for the part. The movie is a little rough and has some perverted sex which I didn't like but still a great movie.
