PENNY DREADFUL: CITY OF ANGELS
sho.com
We first talked about Penny Dreadful in April 2014 and was excited about the television show and its concept of fictional characters like Frankenstein and Dorian Grey being in the same universe. I liked the show enough to buy the first two seasons on Bluray.
Instead of continuing the Penny Dreadful series, the showrunner and creator John Logan decided to do a spinoff show called Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.
The new show has nothing to do with the original Penny Dreadful series, so I’m wondering why bother keeping the name in the first place. Penny Dreadful: City of Angels instead focus on Mexican folklore and based in Los Angeles during the late 1930s.
Even though critics praises the new series, I found it really hard to watch the pilot and really understand the story.
About The Series
On another Showtime note, their fan-favorite series Outlander concluded on Mother’s Day (May 10). The series started off incredibly strong, and deservingly-so as the concept of a woman trapped in 17th century Scotland.
As the series continues, leaving Scotland and going to France and then America… it just felt like the later seasons were a completely different show.
While I will always love the first season of Outlander, I’m afraid I can’t recommend the later Seasons to anyone else.
I did tune in to watching the series finale, despite not having watched Outlander Season 3 to 5. I think if I had watched the entire show from beginning to ending, that I would’ve felt more strongly or satisfied by some of the character’s deaths.

About The Series
1938 Los Angeles is a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega and his partner Lewis Michener become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city's first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart.

WESTWORLD
hbo.com
HBO has been struggling to find its new hit show since Game of Thrones ended (and it ended badly). Westworld potentially could have been the next-Game of Thrones, but unfortunately Season 2 of Westworld was not good.
What was compelling about the first Season of Westworld was the mystery of who’s a robot and who’s human. It was fun to guess and it was fun to see if we were right. Unfortunately, Season 2 decided to set itself in Samurai World and had a complicated three timeline story that ultimately wasn’t exciting or worthwhile.
Again, Westworld returned with Season 3, and again, the story is completely different from the original show. In Season 3, some robots escaped the park and is in the human world. Despite the Cyperpunkiness of it all, I found it hard to really like the show. I think it’s just the storyline.
If you were interested in checking out Westworld, I highly recommend Season 1 and just avoid the later Seasons.
