Monster/ horror characters mashup, something like The League of Extraordinary Gentswith a killer cast: Timothy Dalton, Eva Green, Josh Hartnettand from the pilot episode, decent effect, costumes, and settingnot so much with battle scenes (almost like FF advent children, I can't really follow what was happening due to the cam movement and speed) but at least it looked genuinely chaotic, not so choreographedI hope it turns out good or better than Sleepy Hollow tv show...what do you think?
Obviously I had to watch it. Showtime + Eva Green = This cannot be bad, it must be wonderfull. As for pilot it's too early to say anything, So far they only introduced characters, there is much chaos in story, not just fight scenes, but actors deliver great performances. There is centrain dark tone and adult setting in it. So far I only liked characters played by Eva Green (obviously) and that guy who played Frankenstein. I'm really curious what this show is all about, I think it will become clear after few more episodes. I'm hoping it will be worth my time, but even if this turns out to be crap (which is unlikely) It's still worth to watch for Eva Green alone.
based on the gory level geared toward mature audience, I think we would be treated with here and there Eva Green's exposed boobs or more further down the road .
Well yeah there is possibility, knowing she is not afraid of that kind of stuff. But it's not really necessary, because TV shows on cable don't need to use such cheap moves to get viewers. And she did nude scene in "Camelot" and it didn't helped the show (it was cancelled after season 1). It was very weak show and she was only interesing part of it so no suprise there. Although she looked great in that scene, I mean she have like perfect tits... I'm not sayting it in pervert way, I'm just stating a fact. So in the end it doesn't really matter if we get nude scenes in PD or not. If it happen fine, if not that's fine too. But if it happen I hope they find good reason for it. For example n Game of Thrones there is so much sex scenes just for the sake of having it without real reason... I Hope Penny Dreadfull won't go that road and I'm trusting in screenwriters. So far Showtime TV Shows were able always find good balance between everything (except maybe Dexter, who was ruined in last season) so I think PD will be fine.
