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 episodes to kill his story. I expected so much more development here!
So, so, so~ many questions left unanswered, but I am just going to stop before someone screams: Spoiler!

Honestly, I find that the ending this season was rushed...brutally! Overall, compared to what I have seen in previous episodes the final episodes did not do it for me. I was NOT able to sink into the story's setting and truly enjoy the final.

In my personal opinion, none of the episodes directed by Mr. Kirk — S2: 11/15/17/18— are right for the show. He doesn't seem to get the whole Penny-Dreadfull-ness, his episodes lack magical realism, horror— sometimes, I found myself laughing instead of crying for a hug— and the love for depth and detail. Brian Kirk has worked hard for a place on my hate-list. I will not go into detail, but let me just say that the other directors have done a better job and deserve some credit!


The cast has been great and the performances this season have blown my mind.


Green was badass..again! I really enjoy Eva Green portraying Vanessa Ives.
Season 1 was pretty bad for Reeve and his portrait of Dorian Grey, but in Season 2 he has gotten his short moment of glory. I enjoyed him so much! Giving him more air-time was a good decision!
Treadaway's character(Dr. Frankenstein)- I know he is the daddy of his monsters and all, but if not for them, he would have been a nobody in my eyes. I like Treadaway's acting though!
McCrory(Kali, the witch)- McCrory has had better moments in her career.


I am not a big fan of the horror genre, oftentimes it's just mindless murder with no story behind the story, but I like what I saw in Penny Dreadful so far and S2 has been great despite the flaws.
It's an intense show with great characters.

Anyways, totally worth your time! The final of S2 is just not what I expected, but it's still OK!. Give it a go!

!!!Season 3 has been confirmed and I can't wait to see more!!!
