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.

Exactly! But, I can't take a 'Penny Dreadful' off my watch list, can I ?! I just can't get that over my heart.

Haha, I understand your dilemma. But one Penny Dreadful turns out not to be the other. I'll give it one more episode and then I'll make the final decision. I have to say that now I am starting to miss Eva Green and Timothy Dalton. This cast really can't compete with the cast of the first series at the moment. Even Natalie Dormer is deeply shadowed by Eva Green as far as I'm concerned. Nice gadget that she plays three roles, but I don't see the point of that yet. Perhaps to indicate that the same entity in different places wants to push people towards "evil"? I see that with that official. Not with Rory Kinnear. That character cannot be taken very purely by itself. Anyway, after Sunday I'm sure I want to continue with this ..

Unfortunately. After half a musical episode, I decided to stop. It brings nothing of what I hoped and expected. And then I also don't like Salsa 😨. This series lacks everything that made Penny Dreadful so good. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a big miss for me.
