TV this season

avreliaI find myself more and more fascinated by Penny Dreadful. Its first season was good, and I enjoyed watching Eva Green and Timothy Dalton chewing scenery, and everything pretty and terrible, but I was not sure whether to return to it. But I am glad I did, because this season feels more satisfying. I guess it is watching Helen MacCrory as the main antagonist, watching sad, nice Brona becoming Lily who is Frankenstein Creature, Galatea and Noble Savage who is outside of conventions of society and gets to question them. Oh, how fascinated I am! Then there is blind Lavinia who talks with Caliban on the topic most sensitive – relationships between creator and her creations – she of course means her waxworks. Then again – Evelyn, her daughters/subjects, her sister Joan, and again, Vanessa...Well, we'll see how it all will work out.
Other tv-watching bits:
Marvel series.
Agent Carter was brilliant, I loved every moment of it, and happy that it will be back. Not sure what to discuss – I never believed it would happen, but it happened, and it was great. More, please. More spy and detective stuff, more friendship and complicated relationships. Less romance (there was a kind of a promise for season 2 about love, which I am firmly against so far).
Agents of SHIELD. It was fun and engaging and unexpected in many ways. Yay! I am still mourning agent Triplett though. Did expect to like Cal as much as I did by the end – I guess, it was all the pleasure to watch Kyle MacLachlan doing his best crazy act. There are things I am not sure about and keep thinking how they work and what they mean, but that would be spoilers.
Daredevil. Still watching (in the middle) it is a but too gloomy and violent to watch all together. Even if there is no supernatural horrors, regular human horrors are even worse. I like it by itself and I like how it fits in the whole Marvel universe, adding “regular human life” layer. Looking forward to Jessica Jones and others.
Non-Marvel.
Still keep with Once Upon a Time, but wasn't happy with the season 4 and seriously considered stopping. In the first part – Frozen storyline itself wasn't bad, it fitted the OuaT story well, and the casting was brilliant – animated characters did become alive for me, and their interactions felt true, but the resolution was... boring. After all that buid-up nothing happened. Snow and baby parts were good, too – I could relate to Snow pretty well. After the break – nothing.
Sleepy Hollow. Another disappointment. They had so much good will after fun ride of the first season, and such a great cast, and they had to idea how to use it. Oh well. I do hope they will do better in seson three.
And that's pretty much it. There was some stuff I was curious about, but no time to watch...
