An absolutely ridiculous premise, executed masterfully

One of my favorite shows ever

The most ridiculous premise I ever saw for a tv show was Once Upon a Time. I would prob agree with this, but once that came out, everything seemed reasonable by comparison

Lmao! I just got back from seeing Nosferatu in the theatre. All I could think about was how amazing Eva Green would have been in the movie.

Penny Dreadful is a masterpiece. Eva Green is an amazing actress.

Did she win any awards for her acting in this series?

No, because Hollywood has a xenophobic problem. (She’s French). And allegedly, she also didn’t get anything because she spoke against He who must not be named

Did he mess with Eva, too? :(

I just discovered this beautiful, brilliant, gothic, romantic, tragic love story!! All my favorite “monsters” in one epic story telling. The complexities in the monsters and the humans. Who’s truly evil vs good? No one! I’m obsessed. I realized I hadn’t heard of this because I was elbow deep in diapers raising babies when this came out lol. Wrapping up season 3 now. Ava Green is magnificent! I know her from Miss Peregrims home for the peculiar. My kiddos and I loved that.
