1938 Los Angeles is a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega and his partner Lewis Michener become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city's first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart. Written by SHOWTIME
Okay, so I have probably watched the three seasons of Showtime's Penny Dreadful a dozen times or more - with the exception of a few slow episodes sprinkled over the three seasons collectively, it's nearly unimpeachable in my mind. I thought I would give City of Angels a shot, hoping that if it was even half as good, it would be worth a view. I just finished the third episode, and it's boring and disappointing. Ultimately, even though it doesn't have any of the advantages of the original Penny Dreadful series (ie, the characters all tied together from different historical literary worlds, etc...), this could still have been an engrossing series, but this series doesn't even seem to know what it is. I can't figure out what sort of psuedo-mexi-catholic mysticism it is trying to tie back to, and watching Natalie Dormer try to inhabit multiple characters gets annoying - or boring - very quickly. Rather than finishing an episode and looking forward to the next one, I am just checking my watch, hoping it's almost over. It's honestly bad enough that I really doubt I bother with another episode after the third.
