	Media	Author	Review
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[3th Season Review]: 'Penny Dreadful' season 3 is still so much better than it should be."
		Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"[3th Season Review]: Fresh blood and sharp ideas make for delicious, smart-pulp fangoria."
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"[3th Season Review]: Elegant and erotic in its savage yet sordid beauty, the third season of John Logan's stylishly literate monster mashup never loses focus."
		Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"Staking out a distinctive place within the genre isn’t easy. 'Penny Dreadful' tries to do so with a combination of literary allusion, fine acting, patience and fearlessness, which, at least for the first two episodes, clicks deliciously."
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Logan (...) and director J.A. Bayona (...) keep things intriguing and fresh, fearful and entertaining. The characters are so vastly different from one another but mix well."
		Lori Rackl Chicago Sun-Times	"The series is artfully shot, superbly acted by Eva Green (...) and boasts an impressive pedigree (...), but it lacks the compelling quality of the pulpy fiction that spawned its pejorative name. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"'Solid performances by most of the cast, appropriately lurid special effects and a competent, albeit humorless, script."
		Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly	"It's a Frankenstory made with borrowed bits and recycled parts that could evolve into its own vibrant creation."
