not a credible critic, but I enjoy the show immensely . What a grab bag, with Dorian Gray, Frankenstein, the werewolf , plus witches and demons thrown in ! I am so glad there will be a third season, with these incredible actors and actresses. With any luck, a fourth season will follow.

I am so glad this got renewed. It is one of my favorite shows. Usually the second season for a show doesn’t keep up with the first. Penny Dreadful’s second season is actually just as good, if not better, than the first season. Looking forward to a third. 🙂

Great show. Just a note how can they go by ratings when everyone has DVR and schedule watching the show around Thier work schedule. I am sure more folks watch it not on the scheduled tv time slot.
