There is some THING within us all. Penny Dreadful is a powerfully written saga filled with dark mystery and suspense. It lives in a demimonde - a half world between reality and the supernatural - where personal demons from the past can be stronger than vampires, evil spirits and immortal beasts. An erotically charged, profoundly unsettling new saga, Penny Dreadful completely reinvents literature's most iconic and terrifying characters. Dorian Gray, Victor Frankenstein and timeless figures from Dracula join a core of original characters in a dark and brutal quest to save a soul - even as they grapple with their own monstrous temptations.

Penny Dreadful (2014) 

English I’m giving up halfway through the series. It’s boring, disjointed, full of mumbo-jumbo about nothing, and it doesn’t have a single character that would attract me in any way. The average rating is mainly due to the excellent execution, the solid performances and the exciting pilot episode, but the feeling was lower. ()
