Our latest recommendation

Are you people watching Penny Dreadful on Showtime? It is completely and utterly bizarre and the Sisters love it. The name Penny Dreadful comes from the Victorian Era in England when serial stories were published weekly to be bought for a penny. Many of the stories were sensational by nature, and they were wildly popular.

The television show also takes place in Victorian England and includes vampires, demons, the devil, possession, Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, werewolves, witches, and American sharpshooters. Honest to Zeus, if they think of something bizarre we’re certain they’ll show up in the stories given enough time.

It’s outrageous, scary, and absolutely over the top. The final scenes of tonight’s episode were crazily unsettling. We recommend watching with a blanket to hide behind.

You owe it to yourself to check it out – if you like this sort of thing.

The actor who plays Frankenstein’s Monster will break your heart. And Art Carney’s grandson plays Dorian Gray. Who’d have ever thought anything so pretty could have come from Art Carney’s loins – no matter how far removed – is a wonder. And we don’t remember Josh Hartnet being quite so riveting. Also, where the hell has Timothy Dalton been all this time? He’s still very handsome.

Anyway, we’re only in season 2 so you can still catch up.
