I'm a big fan of the original Penny Dreadful which was without a doubt brilliant. After watching up to ep 5 so far of Penny Dreadful :City of Angels I'm finding this show, even though the show is far removed from the original, the darkness and poetics of the genre is still there.
The portrayal of Natalie Dormers' several characters emit her artistry in her craft and that being a beacon in this show is undeniable. I love watching Natalie work (yeah okay, I'm a fan and have a crush).
There are other big names in this season and there isn't a slouch in any one of them. But Natalie, so far, blitzes them.
Not being American myself seeing the show based on early Los Angeles and the racial tensions I still find interesting as the time and location for the show. I'm curious enough to continue watching this iteration of Penny Dreadful. I cannot at this stage rate the series equal to the original but having said that allow this series to stand on its own merits. That is the best way to enjoy Penny Dreadful : City of Angels.
