Penny Dreadful's pilot was excellent. Looks like Showtime could have another major hit since Dexter.

And for the first time



Mary Shelley would be proud.

Manhattan, the second original show at WGN America after Salem. Started airing July 27th.

Historical fictional show about the Manhattan project. Produced by West Wing veteran Thomas Schlamme, creator Sam Shaw wrote some episodes for Masters of Sex.

Just saw the 2nd episode, for a heavy drama the pacing is good. Just like Rectify. This one's a keeper.

Just saw the pilot for Legends, interesting start. Part 24/Homeland and part Pretender.

Surprisingly coming from Cinemax, its not trashy at all like Banshee(And I like that show too). Very minimal nudity and profanity. And well done too. Love the early 20th century set.

Following it, can watch for Sean Bean, he carries the whole show. The rest of the character's and plot setup is pretty much the same spy stuff seen in 24 and Homeland since its the same producers.
