Has anyone out there been enjoying 'Penny Dreadful'? I sat, last night, and watched the first five episodes, back to back. I had other things to do, but bollocks to that. I'm particularly pleased that the Frankenstein creature (played by the excellent Rory Kinnear), is very much the one I know, and prefer, from the original Shelley novel. I very much enjoyed the seance in episode 2, as well, which, despite being frightening, even horrific in tone, made me laugh, as the guest 'medium' is upstaged, quite definitely by another guest. And how! And now a question: Is Josh Hartnett' s character a Werewolf? I'm not bothered by spoilers, and I think the signs are pointing in that direction. I have really enjoyed it so far. I'm glad that there will be a second season. My next task will be to get some splendid beers in, and work my way through the first four seasons of 'Game Of Thrones', a show that, has somehow, evaded me. I'm very much looking forward to it.
