red snow Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Finally got around to watching the pilot and I'm left wondering why the hell I didn't watch this sooner. Hopefully the show continues to be as polished throughout. If it is then it has blown american horror story out of the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red snow Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's in another league compared to AHS. One would hope so - considering I bailed on AHS mid season 3 and have no intention of going back. Thinking about it, this was probably the underlying reason I was hesitant of trying this show after hearing it was an anthology show about the macabre.

Maester Llama Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I don't quite know where the idea that this was an anthology show came from -- I certainly thought it was, and a lot of other people seem to have as well, but apparently it's not; the same characters will feature in season 2. Season 1 does tell a closed story in terms of its primary plot, but there are dangling threads that season 2 will pick up on, so pretty much like a lot of serialized tv. Maybe the creators gave some early interviews last year that gave us all this idea? I know that by the time it was about half-way through airing they were being unambiguous about hoping for another season so they could carry on with the same characters and plotlines. Am watching season 1 now myself. Very happy so far. May have found my horror / gothic cable show [based on limited exposure the others don't quite work for me.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 http://screenrant.com/penny-dreadful-season-2-featurette/Featurette. Spoiler-y for the storyline next season Not much mention of Dorian. I really hope they do something with him, otherwise he feels very redundant But otherwise I am excited :)Eta: also, premiere dates for both US and UK pushed back to May http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s238/penny-dreadful/news/a628162/penny-dreadful-season-2-gets-new-uk-air-date-following-us-delay.html#~p6ii9N9iHxt01F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also... ...agree that there's nothing much about DG, but looking back at season 1, he didn't have a lot to play there either. I mean, even though he had his moments with Brona, Vanessa and Ethan he wasn't a player in the events of the plot, he was just there. My guess is that his importance would be downplayed until the end of the season, probably regarding his immortality. But I'm excited! It looks stylished than ever (that bathtub!) and I genuinely curious about what can be worse than the devil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Dorian may be dealing with no tgetting what he wants for the first time with his rejection. I think he works pretty well in the background.

HexMachina Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'm looking forward to this way more than GOT.Me too. I think if done well this should be better than Season 1 was. I mean, I enjoyed the first season despite its flaws, but this looks even better, at least from the trailer and featurette.Lord Bowie: Yeah, I know Dorian was not a main character last season :) That was my issue, he felt unecessary and I was hoping that they would give him a bit more of a role this Season, even if its not all that connected to the others. Though I suppose, since the featurette mentions Vanessa and Ethan's attraction to ewch other, he could play into that. He was sexually involved with both of them, but was rejected by Vanessa in the end. I suppose he could be jealous, and desperate for her attentions? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel_Rose Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 ^Me too. Pacing was a problem. A lot of bulid up for Mina, but the pay off didn't deliver. Still, it was gorgeous to look at and the performances were generally great and, since it's only 8 eps, I'll probably watch season 2,too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
