Penny Dreadful follows Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, Dorian Gray and other iconic terrifying figures from classic literature are joined by a set of original characters as they go about their frightening business in the darkest corners of Victorian London with vampires, evil spirits and immortal beasts. It's a psychological thriller filled with dark mystery and chilling suspense.

Is Penny Dreadful good?

Perfect atmosphere, dense, Gothic, surreal and unsettling. A really grim and fantastic depiction of Victorian London. Some characters are predictable and dull, but many are unique and interesting with literate and dense dialog. And best of all, it has very few cheap jump scares. Penny Dreadful is absolutely worth watching. I love it.

Why is Penny Dreadful recommended?

Penny Dreadful dreadful is not about crime-fighting. But it has occult detective elements, and it includes fairytale-like creatures, only slightly more modern. It is also much darker and grotesque. If you like Grimm then Penny Dreadful is definitely a show worth checking out.

I love this show. I know it`s jet another crime show with a specially gifted but flawed main person, but I still like it. Some people get in a fizzy fit because the TV show goes too far away from the comic it`s based on, but I have never read the comic books so I don really care about that.

Is Once Upon a Time good?

The first four to six seasons are excellent, but then it sadly tapers down. The first seasons have exciting storylines and excellent character developments. Even if it goes bad later on, it's still worth a watch.

Fairy tale characters and creatures. Grimm and Once Upon Time is very similar in some aspects.
