Penny Dreadful Preview: “Above the Vaulted Sky” 

[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] After last week’s ambush, this week’s Penny Dreadful, “Above the Vaulted Sky” picks up with the team reinforcing the house in all manners holy, occult, and modern. For the first time this season, there are also (Showtime-level) romantic pairings across the board, though not the one…

Penny Dreadful Preview: “The Nightcomers” 

[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] Eva Green brings her A game (but then, when doesn’t she?) to this week’s Penny Dreadful as she spends almost the entire episode in a master class opposite an unrecognizable Patti LuPone. If Showtime is paying attention, this will be the Emmy reel for both women.

I’m not going to lie, that part is a little disappointing. On the upside, the gang’s all…
