But May is 8 months after it aired in the US. No wonder tpb is the channel of choice for so many.
Sky subscribers deserve better.
You are making it sound like Sky had it all along and delayed it a long time. They just bought it now. Who knows why they bought it now instead of before. Maybe no UK broadcaster wanted to buy it at the price that was asked before, and now the price has come down.
It took Sky a while to get "In Treatment", which had similar pedigree and involves the same writers and similar critical acclaim.These shows involve very small audiences so perhaps the costs do have to be considered well. Whatever, Im thankful for the opportunity to see it.
You forgot to mention Golden Globe winning Best Drama The Affair starts tonight with a double bill with Golden Globe winning Best Actress Ruth Wilson in the lead role.
2 Brits in the lead roles - Dominic West and Ruth Wilson.
Interesting work.
You can see the lineage from "In Treatment" making its distinctive mark.
And I can see why it got awards.
Great performance by Ruth Wilson too. She has such a range of acting.
Couldn't warm to this, after two episodes last week - irritating Family, the hanging & choking one, more so....two sides to the story, is boring when they cross over - and the crime being investigated, who cares - is it the Dawson Creek guy, I hope so, can't stand him - But I'm guessing it's the Maid, with an exploding coffee machine....the skinny Daughter did it.
The Swimmer at the start had the right idea.......Run!
It's a Showtime production; and Sky don't have quite the exclusive rights as they do with HBO/Cinemax.
Although Penny Dreadful is a Sky/Showtime co-production.
I thought it was good and interesting, but god do all US Premium network shows have to be this much sexually explicit, nowadays?!
I've watched eps 1 & 2 so far, but I'm not 100% sure whether to continue TBH.
Yes, it's very well acted and the story telling is quite unique, but I do get slightly bored watching it if I'm honest.
Ruth Wilson is fantastic though, you can't take your eyes off her when she's on screen. She can say more with one look and without saying a word than most actors can with a 10 minute monologue.
I would continue personally, yes. I did stop watching after about 3/4 episodes. But it was Ruth Wilson that drew me back. It's slow in its pace and it has an unsual way of storytelling. For me that was a drawback. But i am glad I went back and continued because it was one of the most stunning shows of 2014 for me. It all depends if you have patience or not. A lot more shows these days are very slow in pace and don't kickstart the action until later on. It's all down to personal viewing preferences.

I've always liked Ruth Wilson.

There wasn't enough Pacey Witter either
It's on Now TV (part of Sky)

Any advice? Do I carry on watching?
Way too slow for me, got bored very quickly. Not a fan of Ruth Wilson either, looks-wise and acting ability-wise. Just cannot see the attraction.
do you know, I thought it was just my tv! good to know others are experiencing it too
I get deafened when the ad breaks come!
Im enjoy it so far, caught up on the first 2 episodes at the weekend as I forgot it was on
