I have watched only the first and the second episodes and I should say that, if the rest of the serie is at least the half of good as these two episodes, I will follow it because I like it so much.

In it we can find personages as familiar as Dracula, Dorian Gray or Frankenstein.

This new series of Showtime will have 8 episodes for season and it will have a lot of scenes with sex, violence and a lot of blood, in another words, it is a product only for adults.

The photography is spectacular and I love the setting. Also I like so much the work of the actors and actresses, specially of Eva Green, who is magnificent.

Until this moment, it is only available in English and there is not any date to debut in Spain.

As curiosity, the name of this series is came from some horror stories which were sold in fascicles for one penny in England during the XIX century, and people knew it as ‘Penny Dreadful’.
