Gutted. One of my faves of the week. The witches series 2 was the best. But it was heading places so shame its canned.

So I saw the season finale of PENNY DREADFUL today, and I was kinda shocked when they killed off Vanessa, Eva Green's character -- who's the cornerstone of the whole series, really. But then I googled the series, and found out it had -- in fact -- been cancelled, and I had just watched the series finale. It's no news to me that they're cancelling all the shows I like, but this series was just finding itself and getting into steam in the third season. Also introducting new and interesting characters and character arcs. And then, finito. It's a real shame. Abel Korzeniowski's score was also one of the best in TV land right now. Look on the bright side, Thor, now you have time to watch THE SAND PEBBLES! For me, the first season failed to work to impart any spell on me. But for you folks that liked it, at least it didn't drag on forever, it seemed, like TRUE BLOOD. Gawd, that show became torture. Can't believe I wasted my time watching every episode of that eventual crapfest.

It was not "cancelled". It is ending. That's a big difference. I'd much rather more showrunners ended their shows when they were over rather than dragging them out. You'll forgive me but that's a load of horses**t. There is no way this was supposed to be the series finale, why not tell folks ahead of time? The most logical guess is that the ratings were down this season and SHOWTIME decided to not pick up a fourth year and this is just face saving..... There were far too many loss ends to think he thought this season was it... Whatever the case, I'll miss it. Ford A. Thaxton

Ok, so who here as actually read any Penny Dreadfuls, that's what I'd like to know. I read about 25 chapters of Varney the Vampire when I was a teenager, until I just couldn't take the turgid storytelling any more. And the same with a reprinted Sweeney Todd that came out around the release of the Burton Sondheim take. But they are just so badly written, I've never been able to get through one. Ok, back to the real topic. (Haven't seen the show, won't unless it becomes available on Netflix or Amazon Prime, so nothing to add.)

Yes ended with a few storylines rather feebly rushed and bundled in to a box. And one or two - the female creature especially - left hanging. Exceptional acting from Billie piper though.

well, it certainly was Pretty Dreadful IMHO< of course brm Yeah, but then you're an oddball. It certainly wasn't very scary was my problem with it. I just want to see Eva Green naked again. That's all I cared about. Now, I guess she can get naked on another show. wait just a second! Eva Green got naked???? One of the (many) reasons i stopped watching was her cover-up wardrobe. So, just what eps is she nekkid in? [slobber]slobber]

The ratings might have been GAMES OF THRONES huge if Miss Green had just kept the dream alive, the dream I had after seeing THE DREAMERS, that is. CAMELOT too, and that DARK SHADOWS thing people are all ready forgetting fast. All better if Eva Green just did it all in the nude. Every frame, nekkid!
