Wiggiz Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'm enjoying Penny Dreadful too but then I do enjoy reading Victorian literature. However I can understand how it's not to everyone's taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Really? id give it an 7-8 out of 10 with Metacritic giving it 71% Rotten tomatoes 79% IDMB 8.6. Ive found it to be one of the better TV shows on atm, but there isnt much good on atm apart from Crossbones. Bloody sites lagging out for me and posting thing x3. Just didn't do it for me. I'm a massive fan of horror literature and Kim Newman is a particular favourite of mine, he's done the Victorian horror with characters from various stories of the period, and done it a lot better. And Alan Moore did it in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the graphic novel, NOT to be confused with the awful film of the same name) also a lot better. I just thought it wasn't particularly original and not very well written. But it's all down to personal taste, one man's meat is another man's poison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoLo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 This site is seeping into my subconscious... felt compelled to return to this thread because in my previous posts i failed to mention....... Archer Without doubt one of the funniest shows on at the moment. if you have not seen it make an effort to do so - you will not be disappointed. And whilst thinking about animated shows - Rick & Morty is def worth a gander too! Right... back to work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratdog Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm enjoying Penny Dreadful too but then I do enjoy reading Victorian literature.

Hir Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Wild Palms Mini Series by Oliver Stone. Can't remember much, set slightly in the future,(now some of these things are becoming a reality) where people are spending time in virtual reality which is being manipulated by corporate media. From a comic strip by Bruce Wagner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) the leftovers made by the same folk that made lost so be prepared to be confused and irritated. saying that the first episode is still a blinder imo worth keeping an eye on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ct3G_W5jnBI Edited July 3, 2014 by Sancho Panza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojum Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Just finished watching season 1 of Rectify. I thought it was very good, and I thought Aden Young was excellent as the man/boy who has been in prison and on death row since he was a child and so doesn't understand how to connect emotionally with the world outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
