Penny Dreadful

[Sidelle]

Has anyone else checked this out yet? It's premiering Sunday night on Showtime but the first episode is available early On Demand now. I watched it and definitely give it a thumbs up. I love the Victorian era classic horror story monsters. It's gonna be a hit. If so, I might forgive Showtime for the way they ended Dexter...

Such a hipster thing to say.

Not at all, just sick and tired of the whole vampire thing, not to mention stealing your favorite characters and blending them together in what amounts to fan fiction.

I do not own a pork pie hat.
I do not wear nerdy glasses.
I don't think I even own a knit cap, let alone wear one year-round, indoor and out.

I wanna see where they go with the Frankenstein part of the story but I kinda like what I've seen of the vampires so far. More classic than not, no sparkles to be seen. :D

I like the writing, I like the acting & wardrobe. And Josh Hartnett is f'n sexy in it. I never thought he was very attractive before now. So there's that.

But do you wear the scarf, sir? Whatever they call that thing.

AHA! BUSTED!

(Totally kidding, btw.) :)
