Some of literature's most terrifying characters, including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula are lurking in the darkest corners of Victorian London. Penny Dreadful is a frightening psychological thriller that weaves together these classic horror origin stories into a new adult drama.

Difficult to sum this up in a 1000 characters, but if you grew up enjoying the grimms tales or had enjoyed the halloween myths, this series would hold your attention and be worthwhile to watch. Unfortunately, the ratings and the writer planned for a 3 season show and cut it off before it really began. The first season is well worth it, the second starts down the woke path unfortunately with a bit too much with the struggles of women, whoreing, indians, destruction of the environment along with a solid anti-christian bias except when it fits thier narrative to include it. They're literally battling the companion of Satan yet brush off christianity as fools belief. Comical in parts. If you like this genre, it's redeemable, 3rd season is rush to wrapped up, 2nd season tries to develop back story and wrap up current lines before the 3rd, but just all seems to be rushed. If this was a 15-20 episode season and comitted to the long game, it would do better, but this genre doesn't get ratings.
