Season finale. -- (C) SHOWTIME More Critic Reviews for Penny Dreadful Season 3 All Critics (15) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (1) 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 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 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 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 ScreenRant 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 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.
