[raisedbyanother]

A spiritual descendant of the original Penny Dreadful story set in Victorian-era London, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels opens in 1938 Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. 

When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto) and his partner Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane) become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city's first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart. Penny Dreadful: City of Angels will premiere on Sunday, April 26 at 10/9c only on SHOWTIME.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels

Plot:

1938 Los Angeles is a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega and his partner Lewis Michener become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city's first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart. -Showtime

*spoilers*

The Good

The acting is superb. There are so many different speeches and conversations that are held in the film. From so many different walks of life.

There is such a depth to all the characters that makes each one more of a vast ocean.

When we see Peter Krupp/Craft talk to his fellow Germans about how Hitler is not Germany. And that he doesn't want to leave his children a legacy of bloodshed that was left to him by the first World War and that is why he doesn't embrace Hitler.

Fast forward to episode 10 and we see how his family is attacked and his boys are now traumatized and he feels no choice to embrace Nazism as way to protect him and his family.

The Speeches made by Natalie Dormer? Amazing. I am not even Mexican and it made me want to stand in solidarity.

The plot is interesting and we see how otherwise good characters are forced to make horrible decisions. No one is good here. And I love how morality is Grey. And not black and white

The Bad

Critiques.

They gave up on the storyline of Raoul (oldest brother of the Vega family) after the 2nd episode. All the other characters...

Especially even given the the nazi hitman has a duality of his character. Being gay, trying to find others to find a society where he can be who he wants to be free to love who he loves. But is still also a huge fucking bigot and kills indiscriminately and has a hatred for Jewish people and all those not white. Is given a storyline. A depth to his character.

But after Raoul gets shot. And wakes up 2nd and 3rd episode?

Nothing. We just see him sit at home wide eyed and slow. I get on the account of being shot in the head messes up your motor skills etc. But also was very lucid at the beginning of episode 10.

So there was and is potential for him to grow and have a storyline.

The writers just gave up on developing him. And there is such promise there. And I know the actor has the range to deliver. I like him.

Supernatural elements?

Given the fact I watched the original Penny Dreadful 3 seasons and Eva Green is such a phenomenal actress. There was always a state of perpetual dread, the infamous London fog, and demonic or vampirism creatures always lurking every and anywhere. With demonic pensions sprinkled in and Satan.

There was a huge let down in the supernatural elements for this show.

And I blame the mis-characterization of the writers. A person who has watched Penny Dreadful and seen how abruptly it ended so to speak, would be excited to see Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, thinking at the very least it would be in the same supernatural universe. Because this is set right before the start of World War II.

Are going to be somewhat or very much disappointed with the lack of supernatural elements.

Outside of the scenes with Santa Muerte and the Beast (Natalie Dormer). The one or two scenes Maria Vega interacting with the demonic "child" of Elsa. There is essentially nothing supernatural about this film.

If you took out the supernatural elements of Santa Muerte and The Beast.

This show would still continue greatly as a historical fiction drama.

Again I blame the mis-characterization of the title. A better one would be From the Creators of Penny Dreadful comes: City of Angels.

No fan of the show would be leaving such critiques that they are leaving on IMBD.

But it still is the first season. So there may be more supernatural elements to come.

Other critiques I have seen are from Mexican people on the portrayal of Santa Muerte. And being that I am not Mexican.

It is not my place to comment or place any opinions about the portrayal of Mexican cultures and religions.

The ugly?

For those who have watched the original Penny Dreadful and are coming in to watch the City of Angels hoping for it to be the same in the amount of supernatural suspense?

Will be sorely disappointed.

Both these storylines are set at two very different times and two very different eras and countries.

This could be ugly for those who are not looking for "political TV show".

But given the fact it is set in America during the 1920s? It will be political.

Everything about America's history is political. You can't throw a rock without landing on slavery, Jim crow, no rights for women, or a person of color being hate crimed just for the color of their skin.

In terms of gore? There is a flash here and there but nothing to serious.

Like I said prior. Very little supernatural elements.

Conclusion

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is promising. The drama, the depth of the characters, action etc. All of its there.

Except...

For the supernatural. That's literally it. Because the title is misleading fans of the show.

For newcomers? This show will be absolutely fantastic.

But..

because the showrunners or the writers of this show have gone with this title. They have a lot to make up for with the supernatural and the gore.

If or can that can be incorporated? I truly don't know.

But it is still the 1st season. And if they are able to amp up the supernatural elements and gore in this TV show then they have a real good moneymaker on their hands.

I for one, am very excited to see what they do next and the direction they are headed.
