Comments on: Penny Dreadful Season 3 Rumored to be the Last for the TV Series Because of Average Ratings! https://masterherald.com/penny-dreadful-season-3-rumored-to-be-the-last-for-the-tv-series-because-of-average-ratings/41215/ Wed, 15 Jun 2016 23:18:19 +0000 hourly 1 By: Jon https://masterherald.com/penny-dreadful-season-3-rumored-to-be-the-last-for-the-tv-series-because-of-average-ratings/41215/#comment-216606 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 23:18:19 +0000 http://masterherald.com/?p=41215#comment-216606 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.

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?

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
