Penny Dreadful (2014)
The topic, the cast, the creators, the production design and the chosen style promise great things. But this sham nickel-and-dime, Hammer-style League of Extraordinary Gentlemen which could feel at home in the company of the Victorian episodes of Doctor Who, despite its many undeniable qualities, does little more than promise; however much it is pleasantly peculiar in all circumstances and almost unprecedentedly true to its literary source. It can never permanently move up from the “promises on paper" box to the “fulfilled promises" box, even though it peeks into it at times. But it’s these passages that do more of a disservice than anything else to the series because while you are watching you can see how damn good it could have been. Which of course doesn’t mean that it isn’t good enough.
