If lurid thrills and gothic accoutrements are the name of your game, then Showtime’s Penny Dreadful will be right up your alley. Showcasing a top-notch cast including Eva Green, Timothy Dalton, and Josh Hartnett, the program checks off all the boxes as far as Showtime’s programming is concerned, with plenty of twisty plots, darkness, and gratuitous nudity to keep things at a steady, thrilling pace.
Penny Dreadful airs on Sunday nights on Showtime.
