Dear lookers of new Netflix series and anyone else who is reading this article,
Still in the Halloween spirit despite it being the second week of November? Don't worry- I'm not here to judge but to provide you with the perfect Netflix series to satiate those spooky feels!
If you like the supernatural and Victorian classics such as Frankenstein and The Picture of Dorian Grey, then you are going to love Penny Dreadful. What is "Penny Dreadful", you ask? Well, the term penny dreadful refers to a cheap, sensational novel brimming with adventure, crime, or violence; which I suppose in a way also summarizes Penny Dreadful, which features a team of badass individuals fighting demons in both the physical world and internally. Monsters, such as vampires and witches the Frankenstein's creation lurk in the era of gas lamps in a fog-filled London setting. While not all of the characters are directly taken from great works of literature, they do provide the backbone to this spine-chilling, mesmerizing series. Plus there's an awesome pun about a werewolf in London (sorry kind of a spoiler alert).
You pay a lot of pennies for Netflix so go watch this Penny Dreadful because you will not be disappointed.
Sincerely a girl who is desperately waiting for these next 2 weeks to go by so that she can finish the series with her boyfriend (distance sucks bc of waiting to finish good Netflix series)
