Penny Dreadful Says Goodbye
At the risk of sounding like an ungrateful, petulant child, I have basic trust expectations of the shows I wholly embrace. I’ve been burned so often that the list of shows I’m all-in with has grown shorter and shorter. With most shows, I try to be a casual viewer as…
Penny Dreadful Season 3 Finale Preview: “Perpetual Night” and “The Blessed Dark”
[Warning: General spoilers ahead] We’ve somehow already arrived at the end of the third season of Penny Dreadful because Showtime is doing the last two episodes as an event, which I am seriously hoping doesn’t bode for some sort of announcement shenanigans on Monday morning.
Penny Dreadful Preview: “A Blade of Grass”
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] Penny Dreadful switches gears this week with an exquisite set piece episode that focuses entirely on Vanessa’s recollections from being confined to the Banning Clinic for five months.
Relationships Are Complicated in Penny Dreadful “Predators Far and Near”
Vanessa Ives has sh-t luck with men. We know this. So it seems all well and good when Dr. Seward encourages her to step out of her comfort zone, which sends her off to the local museum, and she meets the lovely, awkward, and shy zoologist Dr. Sweet. You had to…
Penny Dreadful Preview: “Predators Far and Near”
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] While I fully realize TV shows are not written expressly for us, or for me (I KNOW, RIGHT?), I do get disheartened when I’ve gravitated toward a particular arc in a show and that’s the one arc that TPTB decide to move away from. Case in…
Penny Dreadful Season 3 Premiere Preview: “The Day Tennyson Died”
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] We’re finally in the home stretch of our Penny Dreadful hiatus, with the third season set to return to Showtime this Sunday. I’ve already seen it, and it’s SO GOOD. Y’all know that I’m super spoiler-averse, so consider this a very light fairy dusting of the fabulousness…
The First Look at Penny Dreadful Season 3
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] We’re almost here! Penny Dreadful is the show that nearly broke me last summer, and I’m so glad they’re almost back. If the premiere is any indication, this is still one of the most beautifully crafted series running right now–from the words to the sets to…
Penny Dreadful “Little Scorpion”
Apparently, to know Vanessa Ives is to want to protect her from harm and evil. She’s got her cadre of protectors — although Sir Malcolm isn’t doing the best job right now, because he’s under the influence of Evelyn Poole. Lyle, while still technically beholden to Ms. Poole as well,…
Penny Dreadful Preview: “Little Scorpion”
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] This week’s Penny Dreadful is hands down my favorite episode of the series so far, and it does not at all help my Eva Green and Josh Hartnett problem. I’m guessing it won’t help yours, either. After last week’s two steps forward one step back between…
Penny Dreadful “Glorious Horrors”
Is it weird that I like Rusk? Like, really like him? He’s a serious threat to Ethan, but I feel like his interest in what happened at the Mariner’s Inn and whatever he thinks about Ethan’s role in that massacre, it makes Ethan all the more motivated to remember what…
Alison Sweeney Talks About What’s Next for Hannah and Mike After Carrot Cake Murder: A Hannah Swensen Mystery
[Warning: Spoilers for Carrot Cake Murder.] Everybody OK after that Hannah Swensen Mystery twist? Thankfully, our favorite crime-solving couple is still on speaking term, even if they’re on a break (hopefully not that kind of break). Most importantly, we already know this isn’t the last film in the series. No…
Counting Down to From Season 2

Thank Me Later: Will Trent
[Warning: spoilers ahead.] I’m on record as loving and losing shows over at ABC so I’m usually very reticent to pick something up on the network until it’s been renewed, and I seriously hope I’m not jinxing it, but I took a chance on the deeply odd and very sweet…
Dennis Heaton Talks The Imperfects
Longtime readers at TV Goodness will know that Motive is one of my ride-or-die series, and as such, I am fiercely loyal to its creator, Dennis Heaton. He followed up that fantastic reverse procedural with Netflix’s The Order and is back on our streaming screens with The Imperfects, which dropped…

John Griffin and Harold Perrineau Talk From Season 1 Finale
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] How are we doing, #FROMily? In case you missed it this morning, the very good news is that that cliffhanger will be followed by a second season, which was gifted this morning ahead of the linear broadcast of the finale. I always legitimately appreciate when we…
Elizabeth Saunders Talks From
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] One of the things that makes EPIX’s From such a fun ride is the abundance of Canadian cast members. Elizabeth Saunders, who plays Donna, is a favorite from her turn on the third season of Mary Kills People [streaming on Global TV in Canada and Roku…

Shaun Majumder Talks From “Book 74”
[Warning: Spoilers for tonight’s episode.] Tonight on EPIX’s From, Father Khatri made a bold move, kidnapping Sara instead of turning her in, and then recognizing her as a vessel for some big messages. That startling realization speaks to him on multiple levels–as a man of faith, a man trapped in…

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”
Who can you trust? If this episode of The Catch was any indication, the answer is just about nobody.

What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
Supernatural episodes are almost always funny but thanks to the dialogue and a certain man speaking said dialogue, I laughed a lot during “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” You know, when I wasn’t busy fearing for Sam’s life or wondering what in the world was going on with Dean and…
What They Said: The Flash, “Legends Of Today” and Arrow, “Legends Of Yesterday”
Two nights of Arrow + The Flash = what more could we ask for?! I don’t know what it is about blending these shows, but I can’t help but feel that every time they come together, they somehow become greater than the sum of their parts. And that’s saying a lot…
What they Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Graceland “Little Bo Bleep”
Shoot outs. Fake outs. And long-awaited revelations. “Little Bo Bleep” was a jam-packed episode that wrapped up some loose ends and totally frayed others. Â It finally gave us one Sarkissian in jail and pulled back the curtain on Briggs’ master plan, but it also set up Jakes for a world…
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Poldark “Part 4”
“What have I told you, I don’t require my wife to crochet and sip tea, but I do require her to remember she’s not a beast of burden.†No, I’m not talking about The Rolling Stones! I have to admit though, just for a second, the lyrics popped into my…
