skygiants: Princess Tutu, facing darkness with a green light in the distance (cowboy glee!)
So I'm watching Penny Dreadful. SHOWTIME FINALLY GOT ME. I blame all those bad YA Frankenstein novels. I think it's possible that I've spent so much time being personally frustrated with Frankenstein the actual original novel that it has to some extent brainwashed me; weird adaptations of Frankenstein appear to have become a strange, terrible, personal form of Kryptonite.

So Penny Dreadful - already halfway through its first season - is Showtime's attempt at redoing League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, this time with 100% more bloody bodies and onscreen sex. That aside, it's very pretty! Lots of passably accurate Victorian costumes and gorgeously dramatic overhead shots.

The rest is cut for length and a few images. )
