Less mystical than its predecessor, yet refreshingly not simply repeating a formula.

City of Angels should appeal equally to fans who loved Penny Dreadful for its moody theatricality (me) and people whose favorite musical is Guys and Dolls with a dash of West Side Story (coincidentally, also me).

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels tells a cohesive, well-plotted and multilayered story. It projects the dreamlike sleep paralysis on a real screen.

It's Natalie Dormer's world, and we're all just living in it.

City of Angels isn't merely good, it's divine.

It's unclear if, and how, the show can recollect the Pandora's box of horrors it's released. But Penny Dreadful: City of Angels so far offers an entertaining promise to figure it out.

This sprawling canvas, with its Chinatown vibes, violent ethnic conflicts and snarling cartoon villains, hardly needs Magda and her doppelgängers' obvious supernatural tricks to muddy the waters.

Surprisingly tame for a show about racial strife, Nazis, and supernatural beings.

In setting, tone, and several fine and evocative performances, City of Angels cements itself as a fine entrant in the horror-on-TV genre.

[Natalie Dormer's] four performances are a real tour de force... But they're undone by Executive Producer John Logan and his writers' room, whose favorite direction is over the top.

Nobody is going to criticize you for not taking the mythology of Dracula seriously enough, but there's a wealth of Mexican-American religion and folklore that's being treated with an uncomfortable superficiality here.

Had the series pared down its plotlines the characters could shine more, their motivations crystallize, instead of feeling like they're 20 characters in search of an exit.
