I've just finished season 1, this show is great. What should I expect from season 2? Also, why nobody talks about it on /tv/?
>>
>>69106986
Eva is disturbingly sexy in this show.
>>
>>69106986
You should expect and even better season than the first and a fantastic antagonist. Holy shit.

S3 so far has been great too (only one ep so far), so get caught up, my brother.
>>
>>69106986
>What should I expect from season 2?
frankenstein's autistic monster
>>
>>69107237
Eva is love, Eva is life
>>69107513
season 2 was the absolute best. I'm kinda confused about s1ep3, didn't really like any of the new characters and the end twist felt forced.
>>
>>69106986
It is too good to meme about
>>
>>69108010
i'm okay with S3 so far, but yeah, hopefully as it progresses it will reach the quality of S2.

Fuck me, I feel like marathoning S2 now
>>
>>69106986

Is that my nigga Josh Hartnett? I've been wondering what he's been up to since the early 2000s
>>
I watched the first season and found it decently enjoyable but not enough that I bothered to watch the second season. I hated every scene that Dorian Gray was in, though. He felt like a completely pointless character and existed solely to force unnecessary sex scenes into the show, and it was incredibly obnoxious how these cool, interesting characters turn into puddles every time they're interacting with him. Frankenstein's creature also annoyed me, and seemed to exist solely to barge in while actual interesting plots were going on and to interfere. Eva Green totally makes the show, and the best episode of season 1 was the one that went into her backstory.
>>
>>69108113
Hartnett is criminally underrated
>>
>>69108113
he's damn awesome in this show, i thought for sure he'd be boring to me in S1 but his character is complex af

i like that he has said that he never wanted to be leading man and get those big roles...he suits this series really well

>>69108197
dorian and caliban are still pretty much the weak links ( i wont ever forgive caliban for proteus ;_;) that said, in S2 Dorian has an interesting storyline with Brona that surprised the fuck out of me.
>>
>>69108113
>>69108245
>>69108269
did he essentially quit Hollywood? Usually when that happens they don't let you back in
>>
>>69108113
>>69108408
he thought he was hot shit and rejected Nolan's batman he later realized his mistake and was in hiding out of shame for years and is slowly trying to get back in.
>>
>>69108448
>>69108408
huh... i honestly don't get that at all. in all his interviews he always said he never felt right for those type of roles, for the leading man in box office movies.

he always seems humble af even back in the day
>>
I can count on one hand how many PD threads I've seen on here.

It's fantastic and I loved S2 so damn much, I kind of get a few S3 complaints so far, but I love that we're finally getting Dracula out of the way.

Agreed with other anons on Hartnett, dude is great in this.

Who here thinks they'll be delving into Lovecraft? or is Dorian and the Bride the next big bad?
>>
>>69108517
there's an interview where he says that and realizes how wrong of him it was to reject Nolan and Batman.
>>
>>69108567
next big bad guy is Dracula, so theyre probably going to have another vampire plot, probably splitting it up with each character rebounding after everything from last season
>>
>>69108652
huh, well i'd say he dodged a bullet. i honestly dont get the hype of nolan's batman films.

that said, just really enjoying his work on Penny Dreadful
>>
I think Season 2 is much stronger and not as slow as S1. S2 deals with a group of witches trying to take down Sir Malcolm and his crew, all the side plots are good EXCEPT the one with Dorian Gray which feels like LGBT pandering.

Does anyone else love Dr Frankenstein? Best character imo.
>>
>>69106986
Season 2 is better and S3 is good so far. S1 was the toughest for me. It might be better binge watching S1 but week to week it was very slow.
>>
>>69108567
fuck me, lovecraftian stuff would be fantastic down the line.

but yeah like others have said, glad they're dealing with Dracula finally

minor spoiler regarding your last spoiler apparently there have been reports that Jekyll, Victor, and Dorian team up because they have to try and stop Brona. Fuck that shit, I hope she wrecks them all.
>>
>>69108749
lmao what bullet? he realized what that role did to Bale's career and how dumb it was of him to burn bridges with one of the most successful directors and producers.
>>
>>69108807

I dont really get saying Dorian is LGBT pandering when he literally fucked everything and anything he could in Wilde's original novel.

That's just who he is.
>>
>>69106986
>Season 2
No naked Eva scene.
;_;
>>
>>69108851
alright man, christ, i said personally i dont see the hype. i rather enjoy him in PD.
>>
>>69108837

Really? Where are these rumors coming from?

I cant imagine Brona would become too evil even for Dorian, I always had the sense he was going to be the endgame villain, but he's a shifty cunt so who knows

But yeah, Lovecraft is something I can def see because as of now we still haven't seen Invisible Man or, if they decide to, The Mummy since these are all within a similar time frame.

Also, correct me if im wrong, but we already saw and said bye to Van Helsing right?
>>
>>69108857
This. people need to know their source material.
>>
>>69108857
Yeah but getting into a relationship with a tranny? Come on senpai it felt like they were trying to meet a quota like last season when he fucked Mr. Chandler.
>>
>>69108652
Basically Harnett didn't like the fame and sort of dialed down his career but then later saw how big he could've been and had some regrets. I don't think he completely regrets it because he still has that same aversion to fame, he just wonders what could've been.
>>
>>69106986
It's a soap opera aimed at teenage girls.
>>
>>69106986
>why nobody talks about it on /tv/?
Does it look like Star Wars or capeshit to you?

That was disappointing. So far season 3 looks good so hopefully that will change.
>>

dude, seriously, do you know anything about Dorian Gray?

Go watch Game of Thrones, it's probably more your speed.

>Of 100 nobles watching, 99 were impressed

but yeah fucking love jekyll in this, wasn't sure how he'd fit in exactly.

Also god damn, him and Victor have some serious chemistry. I thought they were gonna make out a few times
>>
>>69109084

Agreed with you guys on Jekyll, love him so far and the actor seems really good.

I also like how that old bitch threw that shit down on him in the streets about him clearly being Indian, felt realistic and not just "lets brush the xenophobia under the rug"
>>
>>69109024
Yes we've all read The Picture of Dorian Gray in high school. But that it doesn't mean he has to have a homosexual relationship in every season, it literally feels like it all falls on him.
>>
>>69109016
This.

You know everything you liked about S2? Yeah, more of that and RENFIELD.
>>
>>69109202
and yet he also fucks women on the show, but i doubt you'd complain or think the show was filling a quota about it.

Christ.
>>
>>69109202
Maybe this time he'll spend all season fucking Rose.
>>
>>69106986

>this show is great.
>why nobody talks about it on /tv/?

you just answered your own question, OP
>>
wait, so what's the deal with the psychiatrist looking exactly like the witch from season 2?
>>
More like Plenty Dreadful.
>>
Any recaps on season 1, i don't remember shit about it and i want to start watching s2
>>
Edgy, pandering, and got very dull.
>>
I love this show. In my top 3 in the moment along with Black Sails and The Americans. As fantastic as Eva is in this I feel like Josh deserves praise as well. Hell, the whole cast does.
>>
>>69107237
>Eva is disturbingly sexy

Period. If anything the show is worth it if only to see her nymphomaniac behavior on the age of repression.

This show is like that movie... the league of something with Sean Connery, well this is like that but it actually works. Don't ask me how though... i was 110% sure it was gonna fail hard but after watching it the only thing that gets hard is my warewolf

THIS.

It's genuinely a fucking mystery
>>
>>69109254
You seem to be getting upset, I was merely pointing out that it felt forced for him to meet and date tranny, and not even at attractive one at that.
>>
>>69109803
Not at all, jsut you're transparent as hell with your complaining.

I wonder what kind of Dracula he will be, close to the book version? You think he'll fuck Miss Ives?

Didn't the show start in the aftermath of Jack the Ripper, though?

I could've sworn it was one of the exhibits in the waxworks in S2

Nah. I cant really buy that
>>
>>69109745
i was so sure it was going to be Sweet

>>69109967
fuck you haha, i still watch that show for some god awful reason
>>
>>69109902
Why pretend to forget Evas name and dash her hopes that the doctor was romantically interested in her?
>>
>>69106986
Gets better homes
>>
I dropped this show halfway through S2. It bored me to hell with the endless melodrama. And now everybody in this thread is saying S2 was great. WTF? did i miss something that good?
>>
>>69107237
She's always sexy. That woman is alluring as fuck.
>>
>>69110405
you did brah. but no worries if the show really isn't your cup of tea, i recommend it to a lot of folks and some just don't get into it as much as me.

i think because i just love the hell out of this setting and the classic characters/monsters that it just works for me

i wonder how many times she's had sex
and with how many different men
>>
>>69110549
I've been watching the show since it first aired. I absolutely loved S1. Every episode revealed more about the characters and the worlds or had some cool historical tie-in. S2 however felt really bland in terms of writing and character development. And the plot moved so slow that it seemed nothing was happening at times.
Also, no more nude Eva ;_;
>>
I wonder what the deal is going to be with that psychiatrist woman, she's a relative of the witch from S2
>>
>>69110617
>you will never kiss Eva's glorious breasts
Why even live?
>>
>>69110715
it's kinda funny because the one thing i have seen a lot of people sya is that S1 felt so slow but the build was worth it, while S2 was just crazy as hell. But yeah with the entire season available now, maybe it'll be an easier watch for you to binge on the series. I honestly think give it a go, there's some fantastic stuff that came out of S2
>>
>>69110779
This also means that Hecate is her niece yeah? Hmm....
>>
>>69108978
nah, you're just prejudiced

you need to chill out and stop autistically filtering everything you see through a prescribed agenda. it's tiring and quite frankly, boring
>>
>>69109864
The guy seemed pretty scared when he looked at him. Thought it was a great introduction for him the way the others just scrambled away.
>>
>Victorian Britain

And who knew 1920's Britain was so fucking diverse? Even with this show they rammed in 2 niggers. Watch out for the "poor black man gets attacked by racist whites in the pub" scene.

Fuck this cancerous shit.

I really disliked the later few episodes in S2. I hope S3 is better.
