Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The second season of Penny Dreadful is very strong. Third season less so.

The second season of Penny Dreadful is probably the best. Third season has some great parts, but the showrunner's interviews about how it was always planned for only three seasons are obvious lies, because no one introduces dangling plot points unless they're sowing seeds for upcoming seasons. Also, when I rewatch PD, I don't watch the last episode.
I'm sorry, sj.
My attempt at getting through a TV backlog is currently making my way through Leverage. I'm in S3. This show is a goddamn DELIGHT.
YES. Hey, where are you watching it? It left Netflix, is it on Hulu?

Nope, it left Hulu, too, so I'm buying the seasons on Amazon, which is cool, because I'm going to want to rewatch them.
The final episode of Penny Dreadful was a total betrayal. I was so disappointed.
Leverage is on Ion TV if you get that channel.

So much lies! My theory is that rising star salaries got to be a factor with budgeting, and the creatives were told they either had to cut back on Eva's salary or their FX budget. I think she certainly balked at that, and they wobbled for a little bit and tried to introduce that new female character to replace her. Then quickly realized how utterly bullshit that would be and decided to just wind it up. There had to be something amiss with Eva Green's contract for them to all but write her out of those concluding eps, add in a new random female character and then tie it off so abruptly.
Sounds like the AT&T and Time-Warner merger will go though. That feels a little... unsettling.
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, sj.
I haven't seen many of the shows on your list, msbelle. Orphan Black is worth continuing with, if only for Tatiana Maslany's amazeballs acting.

Wise.
I am blanking on Penny Dreadful's new female character, though I remember being displeased with how they treated Vanessa Ives and having a WTF? reaction at Wes Studi's final developments. You're not talking about Patti Lupone's character, are you?
