Re: Do you need to watch the original Penny Dreadful show to understand City of Angels?

[(Anonymous)]

I've only seen the original Penny Dreadful, but from the interviews/sneak peeks it seems unlikely. It is it's own stand alone series. This takes place in the 1930s of LA? or somewhere in CA or the Southwest, and the supernatural elements used in this seemed to be based off of (Mexican it seems)/ Latin American tradition. It also deals with issues of race (the new guy on the force is the first Chicano on the team? Buddy cop with the Jewish veteran cop to stop Nazis/fascism?

So, if you've seen the first Penny, they are completely unrelated. At least in certain elements. I do hope certain thematic elements are continued here. It made the characters and their struggles interesting. OG Penny Dreadful was situated in the Victorian era/post Civil War? and interwove a number of stories -- Frankenstein, Jekyll & Hyde (really wish they had gone further with that bit), the American Werewolf, Dracula and the Devil, etc.

I think you're fine without the original, but if you ever have the chance just for a good story, you should watch it!
