You know watching Penny Dreadful I have to say its good to have Josh Hartnett back as an actor. He went away for awhile because he didnt like the Hollywood spotlight. He was actually up for Superman at one point as well. Anyway, he has a very gentle soul that you rarely see in actors nowadays but he manages to be tough as well while adding mystery. His character, Ethan Chandler, is like Clint Eastwood but with a bleeding heart. His romantic journey with Brona Croft is both heartbreaking but heartwarming. Overall this show is really well written. it blends classic characters like Dorian Grey and Frankenstein with a clever story that interweaves with those classic stories. But its nice to, at the heart of this, have a regular guy doing the best he can with all this going on around him. The show really covers the humanity of all of them though. I look forward to see how this season concludes. :)
