Penny Dreadful: City of Angels

After two episodes I am still not convinced. Maybe they shouldn't have called it "Penny Dreadful" either. That resulted in very high expectations, which as far as I am concerned have not been fulfilled. I actually have nothing at all with the era and the environment in which it plays. Penny Dreadful's Victorian darkness was exactly what drew me to that series. Here they sit on the beach in the sun and so far it is about, to me, completely uninteresting things like a new highway and a Mexican policeman who has to find his way in the white police force. The bias is also clear. Every white person is a jerk or worse and the hero is tinted. Those are things that are starting to stand out. No, so far I find it quite disappointing and I am even starting to think about removing it from my watch list.

Now canceled by Showtime
