I am quite dissapointed that the show ended this way, but I guess there was no other ending to a show like this. I enjoyed every episode. Great actors, interesting plot. I would definitely recommend.

Plenty Dreadful: it's like they tried to lay X-Men or Heroes over a combo Frankenstein, Dracula and whatever else.

One of my favourites shows. I've not seen any show recently that has such interesting story, dialogues and a great cast. I will surely miss it.

Eva Green is definitely my favorite after watching Penny Dreadful. She has proved to be a great actress and I love the fact that her character in Penny Dreadful is so comprehensive, meaning that Vanessa Ives can be tough and fearless or at the same time scared, vulnerable and lonely, cold-hearted and yet loving :) I really enjoy watching Eva act it all out :)

Non-spoilerish;

After having finished Penny Dreadful S1 I must say I'm satisfied with how the first season ended. It seems the makers of PD knew there would eventually be a S2 and took their time and didn't rush through the story- that's awesome!

The show is/was enjoyable, delivered More

Now that S2 has officially ended we are left wondering-

What about Vanessa's secret- and Lucifer?
What has become of Frankenstein and his creations?
Why feeding us with Mr. Chandler, make us love him....just to throw him away at the end? What is his story anyways? It did not even take 2 ep More

I am facing a bit of a dilemma with my assessment of this show.

The production quality is through the roof, the costumes, the sets, the detail is phantastic. It´s beautiful at times even artful. The cast ist brilliant, first and foremost Eva Green of who I am a big admirer. She´s the reason I More
