Apr 26, 2020Judging from the first episode this show has some potential. I mean the story seems promising but what made me love the original penny dreadful was the atmosphere which is clearly missing in City of Angels. Also, I dont know why but the dialogue felt a little off. I hope it gets better.

Nathan Lane adds a bit of zing as Vega’s partner, an old hand with a big heart. But Dormer’s Magda should rule proceedings as an agent of chaos, whispering evil into the ears of men. Instead, she’s underpowered. A show like this needs to commit either to being a horror or a riot, and it does neither.

The show's motto seems to be, anything you can do, we can do worse.

This sprawling canvas, with its Chinatown vibes and snarling cartoon villains, hardly needs Magda and her doppelgangers' obvious supernatural tricks to muddy the waters. [27 Apr - 10 May 2020, p. 10]
