Storyline

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.

User Reviews

It's weird how many negative reviews there are

I am a big fan of Penny Dreadful so was excited to see the first episode of this series. I read a few reviews here first and my excitement was dampened, so when I watched the first episode I wasn't expecting much. Well, it's actually very good. It's a great cast, and a great story with really good writing. It was a bit long but I suppose it would have seemed too rushed had they cut the episode shorter.

Don't pay attention to the negative reviews, give this a chance. I'm glad and I did and am really looking forward to the rest of the series.
