I'm two episodes in. I'd call it mediocre. Does this show get better or should I quit now?

I like classic, witch, vampire and Frankenstein stories, but the few gay scenes ruin an otherwise interesting series ruin the enjoyment of battle of good versus evil.

full frontal.

it was the episode where she goes to the insane asylum.

The only saving grace to the whole show is that she has the best body of all of Hollywood.

It was pretty good for a while. But the ending is very disappointing.

And there is some gayness.

It was good till the gay stuff.  Not a homophobe, but it felt like it was shoehorned in there to be gay, not central to the plot.  I stopped watching it there.  

Started watching Longmire

Hmmmm it was great until the final 3 episodes of the show, so if you're not a fan 2 into the 1st season, eject. Or fast forward to her few nude scenes

I thought the first 2 seasons were decent.  A lot of the sex was gratuitous and unneeded most of the time though.  Season 3 has its moments, but there is also a lot of feminist stuff I didn't care for.

Everything, but it's not at a good angle and it occurs in a very unarousing scene.

Gay tranny sex, should be an arfcom hit.

watched 1 & 2 seasons

some scenes you just have to fast forward through (what do nutnfancy videos and penny dreadful have in common? answer: the fast forward button)

but the era is cool and frankensteins original monster steals the show.

dorian greys character brings nothing to the show but agenda when you see him just ff

timothy dalton with the broomhandle mauser is worth the watch.

I tried to mitigate that by knowing Oscar Wilde and the character of Dorian Gray. Fortunately the scenes are quick and not XXX. Remember the show is about evil, darkness and corruption in all it's 19th century forms. I think most of the original novels have fallen out of favor today but they're all worth reading, even if Bram Stoker is a bit over the top.

It's a great series. It's less than a minute in a three year series. Great series. The last episodes were amazing.

I started the series threads on it, liked it a lot. There is some gratuitous gaydude stuff that wasn't necessary.

I thought it has some of the best dialogue on TV when it was at the top of its game. Eva Green, Timothy Dalton and Rory Kinnear (Creature) were awesome all the way through.

Excellent show.   I had to FF through some of it but Vanessa, the Creature, Brona/Lilly....shit, most of the characters were reallly good.



Be forwarned.....there is a LOT of Oscar Wilde type stuff with Dorian Grey...but that WAS the point of Dorian Grey, he was a hedonist.



Eva Green wears 19th Century regalia like no other woman ever.



I LOVE how the Mauser C96 is actually a supporting character.  I was VERY surprised at that.  I LOVED how the show actually films and deals with guns.....I was amazed at that.  There's fucking guns EVERYWHERE....good, old, gorgeous English, German and American GuNS!  It was sweeet!!!!!

The conversations between Eva and the Creature were some of the best writing I've heard in a long, long time.

I thought there were 3 decent episodes in season 3 but the rest were mediocre to put it nicely and the final episode was horrible. Great series to watch over the month of October.

It just ended abruptly. They were clearly setting up Dr. Jekyll to have a freakout soon, and just ran out of time.

I think I read that they have left the door open for possible spinoffs involving Frankenstein and others. But the final episode was indeed final for some characters.

Excellent series, and one of the best written shows of this genre in the past few years.  This isn't some Twilight vampire/horror type teen series.  It's dark, evil, and the outcome for characters isn't always a positive.  If you're looking for a titty show, there's some of that, but it's mostly a dark character driven series.

i think that the creators just got tired of it and said "fuck it.  we're done."  from what i read, the actors didn't know it was the final episode until they got the script

I don't have cable, so it's one of the shows I put on for background noise.

It's entertaining enough to keep on, but I never really sit down and watch it.

I watched one episode and couldn't figure out why it was "so" great.

Black Sails at least had some bi-racial lesbian scenes in the one episode that I watched.

And what's the other one with the dwarf? Game of Thrones? They stripped this one gal down and threw stuff at her while she walked through town naked after they cut her hair off. I didn't get that either.

I'm totally not invested in 90% of these "movie channel" shows.

meh... just meh

not any better than the stuff they show on the networks except that there's swearing and naked people
