I hear it's pretty good, but I don't get Showtime. I'm no Otis, y'know.

jeezus ...I mean the word "dreadful" is right in the title.
Sounds like a pretty big hint to me.

Seems pretty well put together as far as sets and atmosphere. Also feels like there will be several levels to the story (beyond finding Bond's daughter). It's not cheesy, has monsters, set in old England, I'm in for a while.

It's certainly as odd mix. I saw from Wiki that Dorian Gray is also a main character. I'm not sure how he fits in with vampires and monsters, but why not.

this is what i was thinking too. i'm ok with it on those terms. i like that it has all of this jumbled because they wouldn't be enough to stand on their own. it gives it no shortage of places to go.

Everything I've seen so far (promos and whatnot) make it look pretty terrible.

A whole lot of not good packed into that 1st 40 minutes.
Wouldn't be able to tell you about the last 20

Watched the 1st episode---the Johnson to nude women ratio was about 10 to 0 and is not a good way to start things.
Some of the dialogue scenes were too long---it needs more action. I found myself trying to stay interested.
I will give it a chance, but it is on a short leash.
The Frankenstein guy looks like Aaron Lewis the lead singer of Staind.

Same here. I'm hoping its the old bait & switch to draw the woman folk in.

Gave this a chance based on solid critic reviews. First episode was terrible, second episode was much much better. That seance was pretty damn cool and unlike anything have seen on TV before. The ending was pretty neat as well. In a cast filled with famous names, I felt the best acting was done by the Frankenstein monster who barely spoke.

Hartnett was on Fallon tonight, he described the premise of the show as being set in 1891 London, and involves a bunch of characters from classic horror literature, supposing they all lived in the same place at the same time, as real people - Frankenstein, Dracula, Dorian Gray, etc...He plays a myserious American character, who we don't know why he's there, and why he sticks around while all these supernatural scary things are happening, and you have to watch to find out...

Had potential but not enough ideas. After the second episode, which was great, it never seemed to go anywhere. The most intriguing storyline was Frankenstein and his monster(s) and that basically got tabled. I stopped watching.
Eva Green is pretty hot though. If she was nekkid for all that possession stuff, I'd watch religiously.

showtime is horrible.
we somehow got a free year for complaining constantly to Time Warner.

I actually like this series. I love these type of period pieces.
