Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (TV Miniseries)

"In setting, tone, and several fine and evocative performances, 'City of Angels' cements itself as a fine entrant in the horror-on-TV genre." 

"Atmospheric and wonderfully acted, but lacks the scares and operatic depth of the original." 

[It] tells a cohesive, well-plotted and multilayered story (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"I do plan on watching the rest of the season. Not because I’m in any way invested in the storyline or characters now. No, it’s simply because I hope it will pick up and get better. It certainly has the amazing cast to do this!(…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A powerful ensemble buckles under a packed narrative" 

"The blood, the noise, the music, and the expanse of the horizon all seem like they've been dialed up to 11 (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[It] shows many sides of Natalie Dormer, but veers off the map (...) An excellent, well-meaning concept that doesn't quite live up to the grandeur of its intent." 

"The bold and disparate strands of this series (...) are individually compelling, but the show strains under the weight of its own webbing (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
