Re: Can someone explain the logic of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels to me?

[(Anonymous)]

Dime Novels and Pulp Magazines were both American and had lurid and sensational tales (which seems to be the only connection between the two shows). Is there something I'm missing?

I think it's exactly this. If you were a fan of the previous series (which I was) you may want to watch this, as it follows the same theme -- taking certain recognizable "public domain" characters (albeit from a different tradition and a different setting) and setting them in within a particular context and giving them life.

They really could have called it something else, but honestly, the name rec is important and Pennydreadful conjures more gothic (and thus supernatural) imagery (at least for me) over the Dime Novels & Pulp Magazines (I automatically think overly dramatic and lacking depth stylized a la Casablanca or Maltese Falcon -- "manly/rebel detective, damsel in distress, and science fiction"). It also sounds catchier.
