We Do Not Talk Enough About The 2014 Series Penny Dreadful.

We do not talk enough about the 2014 series Penny Dreadful.

THIS SHOW was my Roman Empire. WHY IS IT NOT MORE POPULAR??? Especially on tumblr!!

Eva Green???? Josh Hartnett as a bisexual werewolf??? Reeve Carney as pansexual Dorian Gray???? BILLIE PIPER??? A BOOK ACCURATE PORTRAYAL OF FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER????????

Don't even get me started on the fucking INCREDIBLE soundtrack by Abel Korzeniowski!

The writing is so fucking good, the characters are amazing, the tone and setting are SO COOL, and it brings together so many classical texts (Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde, Dorian Gray, and more) in such a seemless fashion? And it's openly queer, too????

It has a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, if you want any more reasons to watch it. UGH PLEASE I WANT TO SCREAM ABOUT THIS SHOW WITH SOMEONEEEE

I need to rewatch iiiiit

I love how over 90% of the Frankenstein Fandom decided to name Frankenstein's Monster "Adam Frankenstein" because he refferred to himself as the "Adam of your labours" at one point. Let's keep it that way.

somehow, in some way or another, it's always about hunger

what reprehensible thing will i romanticise in poetry today

"Do you not yet comprehend the wicked secret of the immortal? All age and die, save you. All rot and fall to dust, save you. Any child you bear becomes a crone and perishes before your eyes. Any lover withers and shrinks into incontinence and bent, toothless senility. While you, only you, never age. Never tire. Never fade. Alone. But after a time you’ll lose the desire for passion entirely, for connection with anyone. Like a muscle that atrophies from lack of use. And one day you’ll realize you’ve become like them. Beautiful and dead. You have become a perfect, unchanging portrait of yourself." -Dorian Gray, Penny Dreadful
