Green gave a phenomenal, tour de force performance this season...

but Vanessa was a bit victimized and disempowered too. after awhile it grew exhausting.

Sadly I see where PD lost out to Mr. Robot as Best Drama Series in last night's Critics' Choice Awards. And as much as I love the work of some of the people who did win, it was even sadder that Eva Green lost out to Carrie Coon of The Leftovers in the Best Actress In A Drama Series category, Helen McCrory lost out to Constance Zimmer of UnREAL in the Best Supporting Actress In A Drama Series, and Patti LuPone lost out to Margo Martindale for her appearance on The Good Wife in the Best Guest Actor/Actress In A Drama Series.

Penny Dreadful Season 3 Trailer Is Crazy, Sexy and (Yep) Satanic

And what a wild poster! I'd love to know who thought up how to use that pose and shadow...

looks sensational. as always...

but I'll say it again I'm growing weary of the victimized and disempowered Vanessa. I miss the glamorous and mysterious figure from season one.

I'm really ready for Vanessa to do something other than shred the walls in the loony bin. 

After the events of the last season, I would expect to find Malcolm in there, not her. 

But, we'll have to see how it all plays out.

me too. I'm over exorcisms, breakdowns and hospitalizations for Vanessa. we've been there.

Green can chew the scenery to shreds. WE. GET. IT.


it's "Emmy worthy" stuff. but the character is starting to seem weak and overly victimized.

A friend just posted a link for a new PD trailer that is on Youtube on a channel Showtime runs for the series.  It's Eva Green talking about what's going on with Vanessa in the new season.  There are spoilers, of course, including some glimpses of Dr. Seward.  The character made me think of one of Grayson's roles.

I've seen it and it definitely raise my hopes that Vanessa would not spend the entirety of the season in the throes of another breakdown.

I want her to regain her power.

Penny Dreadful, Lost, Supernatural, Teen Wolf Enter March BADness Fray!

I wonder if it says anything about me that I watch or have watched all four of those shows? And from a pure villainy standpoint, I can't believe that at the moment Lost's Benjamin Linus (61.77%) is besting Penny Dreadful's Evelyn Poole (38.23%). But then, given that Lost was on ABC and not a pay-cable station like Showtime, I suppose more people know Benjamin Linus than do Evelyn Poole...
