      Valerie Complex Black Girl Nerds Too many characters were brought in only to be wasted. Jun 27, 2018 Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer The show's sheer density of characters isn't in service of anything except its own story. Instead, it updates and combines its characters as it sees fit. Aug 14, 2017 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com A lush, florid atmosphere that feels fresh, provocative and organically adorned with enough sex and violence to fit right in on pay cable. May 5, 2016 Full Review Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Penny Dreadful ended when it should and we are glad it did so well. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Mark Dawidziak Cleveland Plain Dealer "Penny Dreadful" isn't just good. It's scary good, maintaining its place at the top of the horror heap. Feb 27, 2018 Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant At the start of its third season, the series, guided by creator John Logan, remains as passionate as ever about its characters and their unique circumstances.

      Claudiu I From the point of view of cinematography probably is the weakest season of all three. But plot is thickens and new characters spices the show. John Claire shows such a humane character that moved me. Werewolf and his apache father provides some twists. Dracula is the supreme villain and Vanessa accept her sacrifice. Very touching finale, not with the happy end, but with dramatism and a logic folding of events. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review Rogue 5 Still a good season but weakest one out of the 3. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review Toms c The pace lost a little and the rest of the cast was a little wasted but the show ends strong. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Just great. Eva Green is incredible. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Robert W Lazy ending. Why not do that an episode ago. Why have the show at all. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/21 Full Review jonny c Good but disappointing, the end feels so rushed. The actual ending felt right but we got there far too soon. With all the character development and new ones being introduced it could have been going somewhere really interesting. Should have been a 4th Season, the last 3 episodes were like a race to the finish line. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
