Eva and Josh together are just perfection. In The show and in real life.

[@barbarablue2571]

yes, i think that they could have had something there if they would have taken the right time.

[@melissasmidt222]

@ Amos Nelly Josh is married to a beautiful and talented women. Additionally, they have 3 children together. Seems like he's found happiness in " real life."

[@barbarablue2571]

​@@melissasmidt222this is Nothing to do. We are talking if they would have met in another time, before his marriage. He can be married with Mamma Noel & have 12 perfect babies than his chemistry with Eva Green has been the BEST of his career. Onscreen & Offscreen

[@TiciTotyTony]

God Bless John Logan for creating such a unique and dark show :D

[@Jezabel0203]

If you like Penny Dreadful I think you would like Allan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I think that's were John Logan copied the idea for this show.

[@TiciTotyTony]

***** Yeah i thought the same also. I seen the movie years ago and thought it was okay

[@thegamingsiren1992]

***** That movie pales in comparison to this show to be honest lol and Actually, if I'm not mistaken...the inspiration is really being pulled from the actual Penny Dreadfuls of that era. They were like the comic books of that time only they were gruesome horror stories like the ones we know today. LoEG is a great movie but John Logan most definitely didn't copy the "idea" to create this show lol

[@Jezabel0203]

TheGamingSiren I wasn't talking about the movie I was talking about the comic. And if you see the characters from the comic book their almost identical from the ones in Penny Dreadful. The main plot of League of extraordinary gentlemen is about a group of misfits teaming up to stop evil forces( these people are classical literary characters) just like in Penny Dreadful. so if John Logan is saying that his idea for Penny Dreadul is "original" sorry but Allan Moore beat him to it first.

[@vesper180]

TheGamingSiren yeah, the show is so much better...that film was disappointing, to me tbh.

[@AoibheannStateira]

Dude... Josh Hartnett with glasses... trying to waltz, with his little man bun. My ovaries have exploded.

[@ceruleanmistress00]

AoibheannStateira LMFAO!

[@bicarbonat1]

+AoibheannStateira He looks like such a dad...which is fitting, given his recent life events :)

[@85Aheadstix]

AoibheannStateira Please... Hemsworth does it far better and with a wet shirt.

[@AgustinaVids]

Eva's laugh ♥

[@sananayeemunnisa5579]

Criminally underrated show.

[@shekinahgonzalez3904]

Can I just say how amazing Jonny Beauchamp is? He moves so boyishly in real life yet when he plays Angelique he captures her grace and her feminine softness so well. All praise, he's an amazing actor.

[@jetziiophelia9757]

Agreed.!

[@susielyons9130]

Still can't believe this show didn't last longer. It was perfection!

[@MsDarkimagination]

Can't wait to see Ethan and Vanessa dance. They are so perfect, Josh and Eva are awesome together :)

[@Auntie67]

Me too, I hope It's going to be in the upcoming episode! I love these two together and Josh wearing glasses looks even more sexy ( if this is even possible)...

[@tatamesquita1]

One of the most incredible shows on history, i feel blessed.

[@refixv8699]

Here I am, today, reminiscing how amazing this show was and I missed it dearly. The Eva Green's Penny Dreadful of course, not the other...

[@mayaamis]

I miss this show so much

[@debrahelicke7204]

Just watched all episodes of Penny Dreadful over the past 3 days. Outstanding. A superior show with fascinating characters. The performances were exceptional for most of the main actors. Don't know how I missed this all these years

[@nitsmagicniteshsurwade1808]

I saw it again all three seasons..and LOVED AGAIN!

[@thoseUNheardRsweeter]

These production blogs are magnificent, they really give us an interesting glimpse into the monumental amount of work people put into every single scene. Thank you for making these and sharing them on you tube!

[@dianafrazer9927]

Josh with that hair, those glasses...I can't

[@traviseskridge4500]

I would love to see Eva Green as Rogue and Josh Harnett as Gambit if they ever make the Xmen. Their acting is phenomenal and chemistry!!

[@wicked_deftlady]

I completely fucking agree with you!!!! Rogue is my girl!

[@barbarablue2571]

The Season 2 of the real Penny Dreadful is the masterpiece of your life, Logan.

[@LOLsaudi]

this is by far one of the best episodes.

[@TheBeaPerry]

eva and josh! HAHHAHA!

[@bellacordeiro975]

Her laugh❤

[@Awakendabeast13]

I just found out it is over there will not be a season 4. Didnt know this show even existed but when i started to watch it i fell in love with the era the complicated characters, think it could have gone on for much longer. I get vanessa ives is the main character but there is so much going on the side. I truly dont get how some shows have 8 seasons and are horrible and this masterpiece is finished prematurely?

[@rebeccagarcia7511]

Awaken dabeast a bit late here but let me just share with you what my acting teacher says. She says that somethings must finish prematurely, or not even get started, so they can remain unique; otherwise, they become another one from the bunch.

[@nyldek]

i agree. this was such a beautiful, gorgeous show, and i wanted more of it. it seems unfair to me they ended it so abruptly! ethan hasn't even seen the resurrected briona! and catriona was such a promising new character, and before anything happens with her, the show's finished! and what about lord hyde? dr. jekyll hasn't even transformed yet! and ethan didn't even get to kill dracula, after dracula hinting that the werewolf was his downfall. that hadn't happened yet! they haven't fought at all! ugh! i'm so disappointed they ended the series prematurely!

[@chriscorley6478]

I will dance with you everyday possible, my dear sweet Eva. 🌹

[@barbarablue2571]

Josh Hartnett was born to shoot with Eva Green.

[@lynnscotland826]

I’ve watched this program about four times love it xx

[@bluejadeblue]

i miss this show so much,,, i rewatched last year and the style is just so incredible.

[@monstrousgaara]

I love this show! Everything is done correctly and I never see any mistakes within the show! Thank you!!!!

[@LadyPisces96]

Loved this series and definitely fell in love with Eva Green here, fantastic actress 👏🏻

[@edaoguzzz]

I miss this tv series a lot !! It worthed to last longer!

[@Lexi-eg6yj]

Those impeccable waltzes were one of the things that made this show even more memorable and exciting for me. I absolutely loved them and how they increased the dramatic effects for each scene- adding an extra romantic, sentimental touch to the storytelling of dark tales in a bygone era. Penny Dreadful is an unmatched favourite of mine in many, many aspects.

[@i.m.7710]

Tim dancing! 💖

[@SpencerMusicSchool]

the best show ever on tv. Oh to waltz with Ethan! You will find me sipping absinthe at Dorian's

[@brerinhauz]

JOSHUA DANIEL HARTNETT PERFECTION. His complete name.

[@essymuffins]

I love seeing the behind-the-scenes aspects of shows. It shows how concept translates to what we see on the final edited scene. Btw Dorian's fancy ball scene was absolutely stunning...and I bet it was logically challenging to film. Yet the final result was fantastic! I love the attention to detail in this show.

[@sisterheresy]

Best episode so far! Beautiful and with so much going on

[@dobby6841]

So true

[@luisalmeida1391]

Everybody is going to be talking about this show for a long time.

[@moorch5359]

Loved this series great acting beautiful people.Love Billie

[@shadowseer07]

I loved the ball! I wanted it to last forever!!

[@r.n.holmes5625]

I love the ball. The color and the layout is gorgeous and rich and gothic in a almost soft and seductive way the chorogrify was perfect ....my spellcheck is on the fritzs again😓

[@victorkempe5661]

I also wanna dance with Billie Piper and Eva Green

[@incloudines]

I love these Production Blog videos

[@jetziiophelia9757]

This is such a dark and beautiful episode.

[@Katianie9]

I love the amazing attention to detail

[@Katianie9]

They went through all this detail and amazing attention to accuracy and everything else....JUST TO HAVE THE WORST ENDING OF A SERIES EVER. THE ENDING OF PENNY DREADFUL RUINED THE WHOLE SERIES.

[@user-ll8gk7uu5i]

missing all of you. wishing for MORE.

[@wicked_deftlady]

Why must my heart break every time I watch, read, or hear anything to do with Penny Dreadful and Game of Thrones?! 💔🥀😭

[@vlw1784]

I'm gutted it has finished!

[@leandro0rsantos]

wonderful! the athmosphere, it's like I can feel I was that period

[@marinesmauro]

I love when soundtracks that I like are used in other productions that I also like, specially those particular kind of obscure soundtracks. Infamous 2 FTW!!!!

[@alexisnewell3672]

This is random can only watch on utube 😕 fab choreography n series n my beautiful Fav Billie Piper...❤😘

[@BeepDerpify]

These production videos are absolutely fantastic!

[@centref0lds1]

I loved this scene and the show is amazing

[@dani.892]

what an awesome season it was...what a great show

[@eleanorigami]

Certainly the best season of the whole series ONLY because it has relatively happier tone than the other two.

[@ardyjeen6144]

I miss this show...

[@kandiceh7849]

One of my favorite episodes! Especially when the blood rains down 💉

[@Michy.peachy]

LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE SHOW!!! T^T

[@LucasDias-ff7ms]

[@cinthiadavila8345]

[@megbro10]

[@nurtenyilmaz3]

Fun fact: John Logan and Tommy Tonge are married. So cute :D

[@bryan7938]

Tommy…..brilliant

[@churchcandle1]

Loving season 2 better than the first by far.

[@julioriquelmesanz6278]

Maravillosa la coreografía

[@xDrikenx]

so sad that dorian wont get with vanessa

[@jennngrrr]

me too.

[@ingridsantos7815]

Nop. It's sad she had to die. I expect get a hunter like she once had

[@robinson2589]

Once I found out this was Josh hartnett's new show I had to watch, I was late of course. Only started watching on Netflix a few months ago. Showtime spends loads of $$ & can only afford 3 seasons. Like The Borgias. Omg loved that show.. but this was great i just hated to see Vanessa die. But also this show was creepy n the trusts that it told. All that devil talk and possession is very real.

[@zaviaplummer7988]

thanks for the spoiler mate

[@baloooodotcom]

Hey guys, can anyone tell me the name of the song that plays durring Dorian and Angelique`s waltz? please!

[@JRTprints]

What's the name of the piece of music that Dorian & Angelique dance to?

[@Art_is_life]

❤

[@dadoody]

So sad it was cancelled

[@cutter7119]

01:54 Who invited Brian May on set?

[@paco1922]

Return please

[@barbarablue2571]

Angelique was a Cinderella for one night only

[@MrTway88]

I liked Penny Dreadful, but why did the series start with Satan and end with Dracula? seemed a little backwards to me.

[@random_meta]

I thought it started with dracula and mina 🤔

[@arinsabrina]

Choreography for dorian grey's ball... Hmpf... God, I'm such an immature!

[@matthewhines9787]

Sooo...the choreographer is obvi a total top right?...no?

[@ezrealxshsh5460]

First

[@beautifullion69]

Why did Josh need to rehearse? Ethan didn't even go to the Ball:)

[@missangelique27]

beautifullion69 For the next episode. ;)

[@beautifullion69]

Ah, I see! I thought he may have done it out of camaraderie:)

[@Masttor]

I think that might be for episode 7, look at 1:28
