It’s been a few years since Showtime aired “Penny Dreadful” and I admit that the re-appearance of the franchise in a sequel of sorts took me a bit by surprise. This new series takes place many years later so let’s take a look at the first teaser clip from it.

The Premise: When a grisly murder shocks Los Angeles in 1938, Detective Tiago Vega and his partner Lewis Michener become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of the city.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: This looks to be interesting and I guess I will be keeping my Showtime subscription just a little bit longer. I was planning on cancelling once “Ray Donovan” had ended but now I have this to tune into. As you know I keep it brief during teasers but will speak more once a longer clip is revealed. You folks don’t have to wait of course and can chime in at your leisure. See you next time.
