Creator John Logan has confirmed that this is the end of the line for the show. I really wish it were more satisfying. Following that fantastic flashback episode in the asylum...

I like the show and am glad to have it back. Let’s hope this season holds together better than the last one. It’s too soon to cast any judgments on that...

I certainly wasn’t. When were you first introduced to Agent 007? This week’s topic has a...

I didn’t even realize how much I missed the show until I picked it back up again. I’m...

Was this a budgetary issue for Showtime, or did series creator (and head writer) John Logan only have this much story in him for the first season? Whichever is the case, I’m hooked and ready for the show to come back. On the whole, episode...

This week’s episode, meanwhile, takes an unexpected detour from the main storylines to fill us in on some backstory that had been a little ambiguous until now. Earlier this...

Fortunately, I’m relieved to report that the show isn’t dreadful at all. It’s actually pretty fun. For those unaware of its etymology, the phrase “penny dreadful” refers to the genre of lurid serialized pulp...
