This is a totally different animal from the previous seasons of Penny Dreadful. This is more like a noir mystery series/period drama with a clear plotline. If you try to appreciate it on it's own merits, like me you might discover it's so well crafted you can't help but be drawn in by the set, characters and acting. I've finished 4 episodes so far and keep thinking about it as I wait for more to air.
The entire cast does an awesome job but Natalie Dormer is spectacular in playing 4 different roles. I think she is hugely talented and is the reason I decided to give this season a shot, given I only made it through the first of the previous seasons.
