Penny Dreadful was about monsters. Literary monsters. It was set in Victorian England (mostly), and involved characters like Dr. Frankenstein, Dracula, vampires, demons, werewolves, Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll - a whole crew of monsters interacting in this complex and really interesting storyline. Beautiful stuff - WHICH IS NOW OVER BECAUSE THE CREATOR GOT BORED. He got offered another series, so he just crammed three years worth of story into two episodes so he could wash his hands of it. The last couple of episodes are painfully bad, with thin storylines and an ending so forced it might as well have been foie gras. I swear, I am NEVER getting into one of these episodic series again, not until it's over and I can just binge the whole thing. After Lost AND this abortion, twice bitten, thrice shy - NEVER AGAIN.
