But based on their conversations, Ethan and Hecate have a lot of things in common including being forced to serve masters they do not want even at their young age.
They also run into Sir Malcolm Murray and Kaetenay, played by Wes Studi, before Inspector Rusk arrived and dragged all of them to Jared Talbot, who happens to be Ethan’s father.
During the final moment of the episode, Jared Talbot aimed a gun at Ethan and pulled the trigger, leaving it as a cliffhanger for the next episode.
Ethan is one of the main protagonists of “Penny Dreadful” so most of the viewers already knew that he would come out of the predicament alive. And so he did.
Episode 6 of “Penny Dreadful” is entitled “No Beast So Fierce” and it finally featured Ethan squaring off with his father Jared.
The episode also featured Vanessa Ives meeting a new ally in Caitriona Hartdegen, played by Perdita Weeks.
Caitriona has been talking about the first vampire and referred to him as a seducer. She said that the creature has taken on several identities over the years.
Vanessa then tells Caitriona that she is looking for Dracula in London. Eventually, Vanessa was able to convince Caitriona to help him find the first vampire. She wants redemption and the only way she can do that is to finally defeat Dracula who previously tricked her too.
penny dreadful should be renewed for a forth season. it is by far one of the best casted and acted series on tv today. penny dreadful, ray donavan and shameless are the reason i have showtime. how about we get excited over a season 4 premier date instead of dread that the show might not make it. glass half full people.
It is the BEST show currently on TV…..It would be a shame if it doesn’t get a proper ending…
have you even seen the ratings for other showtime shows. Penny has basically no lead in either. And this is premium cable. not regular network where a show airs only one time. On showtime you can watch it always. You really have no clue what you are talking about its ratings is basically the same as last year also
If they don’t renew, TV is dead to me. Why is it the smart, cultured, brilliant shows with the best writing and acting are always the shows that can’t survive while garbage like Game of Thrones with no original thought carries on and people can’t stop talking about it? Maybe the issue if networks and studios continue to market to the lowest common denominator and have driven away smarter audiences; why not start to reverse this and bring them back? I never had difficultly finding brilliant television in the 90s when SUBSTANCE was the driving force in making a show successful instead of tits and ass and cheap shock value tactics.
Penny Dreadful is extremely high brow, drawing from traditional literature; the show takes on a whole new level and is filled with Easter eggs if you’ve read the novels the characters are pulled from, and the poetry constantly referenced. Top that with Logan as the sole writer for the series, presenting an unmatched consistency in the writing never seen on tv, and the best cast ever assembled, topped with the perfection that is Eva Green…but people aren’t watching, because audiences are too stupid. You see this even in books which are greatest dumbed down and simplified in order to attract low grade knuckle draggers to literature.
Can we please stop dumbing down society and start celebrating INTELLIGENCE again? Wouldn’t that be nice?
This is the most disappointing news. Homeland and Penny Dreadful are the only reason I watch Showtime. Once they are both gone, I doubt I will watch again. I don’t know who you are listening to, but it’s not people with an appreciation for amazing acting and great storytelling.
