Penny Dreadful

Sadly, I agree about Lyle. I can see him making some sort of sacrifice and die. I hope he at least gets a kiss from Ethan. That'll be a nice sendoff.

 

[squeekness]

Hee hee.

I don't think they even referred to Dracula by name did they? I'd love to see a full on portrayal but I don't think we'll see it, the show basically cock teased with that one.

 

[Guts]

Could have had a v8.

-The guy with the fake wigs is hilarious and would like him to be part of the team full time.

 

[squeekness]

Hee hee. He must have an amazing curling iron.

 

[KillerWolf]

How does one style the hair like that? I am genuinely curious. t:

 

[Man in the Suit]

The viewership keeps increasing from that low rated season premiere. (Not counting Showtime Anytime or On Demand.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Penny_Dreadful_episodes

I was getting worried. I hope this gets renewed.

 

[KillerWolf]

It's "Constantine" all over again...

Nothing like Constantine. It being a cable show with multiple reairings, online and ondemand sources, it can still prove profitable. Last year, each episode averaged 4m unique viewers, even with the low ratings.

 

[Man in the Suit]

Penny Dreadful has two seasons. Nothing like Constantine.

I don't know what PD's budget is, but the production value is fantastic. The sets and costumes are top-notch.

I am very glad to hear this. I'll be pissed as hell if we lose this show too. Especially since I like it much more than I ever did "Constantine".

Thank you for this reassurance.

Indeed they are. I was amazed by it when I saw the first episode.

You don't have to worry. Showtime doesn't only care about live viewer numbers. They count live numbers, replay number, online streaming numbers, on-demand numbers, and 7 day numbers. All that adds up to a lot of viewers and viewings. More than enough to justify renewal.

Thank you for repeating my post.

But yeah, while I worry, I think renewal chances are still quite strong. If it gets cancelled, I will be heartbroken.

It is a pretty expensive show, which is my only real worry.

I said it better.

 

[chamber-music]

Penny Dreadful is co-produced by Sky so the cost is spread between the two networks.

 

[Specter313]

The show is also starting to get more awards attention as well, with Eva getting her first Critics Choice tv nomination recently.

That isn't necessarily a good thing. That means if one side decides it isn't worth the effort, its pretty much over.

 

[Roose Bolton]

Unless Showtime decides to pull a GoT/HBO and just takes the full brunt of the costs because of the devoted fan base.

You and me both. it's one of my favorite shows right now.

Wait ---

Spoiler

Lyle is Jewish? Never saw that coming....

 

[LordofhouseEl]

Wait so is Vanessa actually sir Malcolm's blood daughter? I always believed it was hinted at in season 1 with the scene of him and her mum going at it but has it been explicitly stated in the show to be the case?

 

[KillerWolf]

She is not. I mean, unless Malcolm screwed Vanessa's mother for decades, which I don't believe was the case. What made you ask that?

Anyway, this episode shall be known as one where everyone had sex, Frankenstein included, and Ethan was cock-teased. t:

So, I was right about

Spoiler

Sir Malcolm's wife. That scene of her hallucinating her dead children was great.

It feels like a great episode for a mid-season, the plot thickens, character relationships complicate and things are getting really ****ed up. Can't wait for the next episode. I am curious about what is exactly madame Kali doing to Sir Malcolm though... Is she using her magic just to seduce him, or does she have something more sinister in mind...?

Oh, and for a moment I thought we'll finally get to see Dorian Gray's portrait, but no. **** it.
