Has anyone else watched the first episode on Showtime? I watched it last night and I thought the show seemed interesting.

A lot of good actors in it as we'll.

Josh Hartnet making a comeback for those talking about him the other day.

If you like sci fi vampires, Frankenstein and generally weird shite you'll like this show.

Looks good. Glad to see Hartnett is getting back in the saddle. Dude is too good to drift by the wayside. Plus Eva Green is a smoke show and talented actress and T. Dalt is fricking T. Dalt.

Hope to catch it at some point.

I watched it. Good acting and sets/costumes. Suspenseful but kind of dragged in the middle and end.

Thought it was pretty good and will watch it after GOT, disappointed they used "famous" characters though.

I enjoyed the episode. I do get the impression that the show will be all over the place (similar to True Blood) instead of focusing on one thing. In the first episode alone we had an Egyptian vampire, some other type vampires, main lady who has some kind of spider type thing happening and Frankenstein.

I'm also not sure if using "real" characters is the best approach.

Well the show is called Penny Dreadful. I'm sure they based the show off penny dreadful books, which were a type of pulp fiction that were focused less on story and more on the outrageous. They may all tie in together somehow, but I wouldn't be shocked if, in some ways, each episode was standalone.

Who else was "real" besides Dr. Frankenstein?

I enjoyed this episode ok. Horror/sci fi is my weakness though. Thought the acting was really good overall.

Is the chick some kind of super god squad person? How was she able to just stare down that vamp like that?

I feel like the chick may be real, I think that I've heard her name before but just can't remember where.

I only watched the first episode this weekend.

I enjoyed it. Very good cast and high production value. Doesn't look like it will be as cheesy as True Blood.

Agree here and the episodes will build off each other for sure that was evident in the show last night.
