Season finale. -- (C) SHOWTIME View Details Critic Reviews for Penny Dreadful Season 3 All Critics (15) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (1) A lush, florid atmosphere that feels fresh, provocative and organically adorned with enough sex and violence to fit right in on pay cable. May 5, 2016 | Full Review… Brian Lowry CNN.com Top Critic Sumptuous and atmospheric - the superb production values, impressive cast and gorgeous framing make Penny Dreadful extremely beautiful to look at, with the language -- particularly Russell Beale's -- an absolute treat. May 4, 2016 | Full Review… Rosy Barnes Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Throats will be slit. Bodices will indeed be ripped. The dead will rise again. And assuming the payoff for all these tantalizing but occasionally frustrating early separations arrives in time, Penny Dreadful should remain bloody good fun. May 2, 2016 | Rating: B | Full Review… Alex McLevy AV Club Top Critic Writer John Logan and director Damon Thomas have vastly expanded the show's scope, and what was already a lavish production is taken to new heights. May 2, 2016 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Scott Von Doviak AV Club Top Critic Penny Dreadful ended when it should and we are glad it did so well. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 11, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Too many characters were brought in only to be wasted. Jun 27, 2018 | Full Review… Valerie Complex Black Girl Nerds "Penny Dreadful" isn't just good. It's scary good, maintaining its place at the top of the horror heap. Feb 27, 2018 | Full Review… Mark Dawidziak Cleveland Plain Dealer The show's sheer density of characters isn't in service of anything except its own story. Instead, it updates and combines its characters as it sees fit. Aug 14, 2017 | Full Review… Alison Herman The Ringer At the start of its third season, the series, guided by creator John Logan, remains as passionate as ever about its characters and their unique circumstances. May 2, 2016 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant Dreadful's Season 3 premiere, was a hell of a ride. Doing what this show does best which is exploring the beauty and poetry behind gothic horror with dialogue that both renders plot and reveals heart. May 2, 2016 | Rating: 8.6/10 | Full Review… Matt Fowler IGN Movies Penny Dreadful's set work is unparalleled, and this season the bright oranges and yellows of the Old West make for a welcome contrast to the washed-out blues and grays of Old London. May 2, 2016 | Rating: B | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald The drama potently blooms to reveal its "gorgeous secrets," especially in its depiction of how women were reinventing themselves in this heady era. May 2, 2016 | Full Review… Inkoo Kang MTV View All Critic Reviews (15) Audience Reviews for Penny Dreadful: Season 3 Jan 28, 2020 Magnificent. Gets better season after season. Eva Green leads a cast who perform "out of their skins". Season 2 Episode 3 'The Nightcomers' is one of the greatest TV episodes full stop. I am in the process of watching the whole thing again for the second time. Join me! Eswaran W Nov 10, 2019 What a heart breaking ending. One of the most intriguing television series I have ever seen. It has extreme thought provoking scenes and dialogues, and man the ending is still haunting me. The final episode on the whole is the ending. Don't forget to watch it start to end the full 60 min. Perfect but tragic ending. Vijay K Apr 25, 2019 Heartbreaking! I'm still waiting for a miracle. alex r Jan 28, 2019 Quality production that shines to the last, fantastic cast, clever plots, great characterisations. It provides not only the thrills you would hope for but also some powerful emotional moments, Eva Green in particular gives a mesmerising performance. bill c Nov 13, 2018 It's a scam, the story is a waste of time, nothing remotely close to scary, Imagine vampires have no special powers Sami%20 J Jun 03, 2018 insultingly bad ending. avoid. Jake R Feb 27, 2018 Completely horrible. Filler boring romance, motives changing but make no sense. The whole thing has turned to shite. H S Oct 19, 2017 I wish Josh Hartnett and Timothy Dalton's characters spent more of the season with Eva Green, as there was such great chemistry between the three, especially Hartnett and Green. I feel as though they got the news that Penny Dreadful was to be cancelled halfway through the season and then they had to wrap it up quickly. I think it could have had at least a couple more seasons, but with that being said, they handled it sufficiently. I still felt wanting more by the end of it, though. Eva Green's performance was masterful throughout, and the episode where it was just her and Rory Kinnear in the mental hospital was absolutely phenomenal. It was just those two characters in a room the entire episode and I didn't find myself getting bored or distracted at all. Gonna really miss this show. Kyle A May 08, 2017 This is the show American Horror Story was trying to be, but failed horribly. Top notch acting by ALL the actors, top notch writing, top notch direction, scenery and costumes; the only bad thing about this series is that it's over after season 3! J. Scott E Feb 18, 2017 excelente y muy recomendable.
