Penny Dreadful season 2

Thanks to Anthony Pollock over on Soda and Telepaths for inviting me back to discuss season 2 of Penny Dreadful on his podcast.

Despite my bingeing the wrong season – and I outline why John Logan’s US-set revamp of the horror series Penny Dreadful: City of Angels disappointed me – and a quick digression on Rachel Pollack’s run on Doom Patrol, Anthony and I have a wide-ranging conversation about the ideas and themes of Penny Dreadful.
