Was Penny Dreadful's final season awful or is it just me?
It started pretty strong but Ethan's jaunt in America ended up being shitty and that spread to the main plot while the various threads of Frankenstein's arc all got resolved anticlimactically. The mediocre ending was just the culmination of an awful plot. However, Patti LuPone was great again.Why exactly did he have to kill his father? Why did Sir Murray do it?

No, most people thought the finale season was pretty bad.
Honestly everything went to shit after s1.
>>82203448
I don't buy the 3 planned seasons bullshit.
It felt like the entire thing was suppose to keep going but the ratings fucked it so they rushed the end.
Seriously, the Frankensteins monster plot went nowhere.

this to the max.
i watched only for eva anyway. imagine this show without her - it would have been below watchable
>>82203448
It was. S1 was excellent. S2 was pretty. S3 was a sharp fall in awful.

Yeah, no way they wanted to go with 3 seasons. At least I don't think anyone on that team looked at season 3 and thought "yeah, this is just what we wanted to make."

Dorian too. The dude was boring as hell, then disappeared.

i must say the single episode with eva and frankenemo in the asylum chamber was absolute kino,

It was nice when he kicked those whores out of his house though.

"Alright ladies, season's wrapping up and this plotline is going nowhere. Everybody out."
>>82203724
I had forgotten about Dorian with how shitty his plotline was.
Now That I think about it, maybe he and the monster were suppose to add to the tragedy. You've got these two badasses that are on the periphery of serious shit going on, yet they never become directly involved. So in the end both of them could have helped, but then tragically they never became close enough to join the main crew.
Or I'm just trying to justify a hodgepodge of crap they strung together that amounted to nothing.

The events surrounding Frankenstein and his creatures could easily have been its own show, if it had an aim instead of just being vignettes of varying quality throughout the series.
Frankenstein vs His Creature
Frankenstein vs The Undying Playboy & The Whores o' London
Frankenstein vs Dr. Poo-in-Loo
I stopped watching in S2 when everyone starting going gay.
I hope they all burn.

That's all I remember of the season. The rest is a blue of Ethan in America with some girl.

>Dorian and whores kill some prominent clientele
>inadvertently draws the ire of an Illuminati type group
>they send Jack the Ripper to slaughter the whores by night
>Frank and his monster get draw into the conflict while treating a whore who survives
This shit writes itself.

No, it was pretty awful.
But at least it was an ending. And I liked some aspects of season 3, even if as a whole it's a trainwreck.
why is miss ives literally poochie?
