Can Tiago and his family survive the first season of the Penny Dreadful: City of Angels TV show on Showtime? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we invite you to rate all of the first season episodes of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels here. *Status Update Below.
A Showtime supernatural historical drama, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels stars Nathan Lane, Natalie Dormer, Daniel Zovatto, Kerry Bishé, Rory Kinnear, Adriana Barraza, Michael Gladis, Jessica Garza, and Johnathan Nieves. It’s set in 1938 Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. The series follows earnest Detective Tiago Vega (Zovatto), the LAPD’s first Latino detective, and his seasoned partner, Lewis Michener (Lane). When a grisly murder shocks the city, they become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles — from the building of the city’s first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism.

*8/22/20 update: Showtime has cancelled the Penny Dreadful: City of Angels TV show.
I love the show after watching it and did not know anything about it until two weeks ago. When i put it on and both my parents and I started to watch it and as i go through the episodes I’m loving it more and it’s sad that show time did not give it a chance to live and progress
Penny Dreadful: City of Angles, so entertaining, just beautiful looking and exciting to watch. Someone has got to allow this story to be told for at least one more season. Too good to abandon prematurely.
we stored this on our dvr, and we just binged it. great series! sad to see showtime cancelled it, i hope someone else picks it up.
I cannot believe that once again another show that talks about REAL issues is being canceled. Oh wait, yes I can! I really liked this show! Which just my opinion doesn’t mean anything but I wish Netflix would pick it up or something?!?! If they’re smart they would. This could be another hit for them like Stranger Things but also incorporating real issues in it.
It was a supernatural Science fiction. I liked it. It’s funny how similar the new Perry Mason show on HBO was to this show.
this season moved me like no other. Dormer in all her creepy incarnations was frighteningly real — racism and antisemitism in the US just as Hitler took power. now more than ever was the perfect time for this show to air. add this to HBO’s Philip Roth series and HBO’s Watchman, you can see how the history of 20th century bigotry led to this miserable century. Praying Showtime will renew it.
Not everyone was a bigot. There will always be a percentage of the population who are that way, but don’t paint them all with that paintbrush.
