Anyone else see the first episode of this new show ?
It's set in Victorian England and is a kinda' Gothic style Horror fantasy featuring Vampire's, Dr.Frankenstein and his 'monster', Dorian Grey and much, much more!
Just as a side note, the show was executive produced by John Logan and......... Sam Mendes of all people!
There's a great cast as well. Here's just a few of the people who are in it;
Eva Green is the main female character in the show who's a strong, take no sh*t , heroine type.
Josh Hartnett is an American 'hired gun' type of character.
Timothy Dalton plays Sir Malcolm who's a hardened African Explorer come investigator type.
Billie Piper plays an Irish immigrant who's come to London to escape her 'dark past'.
Rory Kinnear plays Frankenstein's Monster!!!!
..........and the list goes on.

I think it actually airs officially on the 11th of May but apparently it can be viewed online in the US on Showtime's Youtube Channel and on Showtime on Demand, Hulu and many other sites.
I'm in the UK so i downloaded it as it's very readily available online and i'm pretty sure you could also use something like Hotspot Shield if you're in the UK to change your ISP to an American one and then watch it somewhere like IGN.

I actually just tried switching on Hotspot Shield and it does indeed enable you to watch the full first episode (totally commercial free!) on IGN from the UK that way. Apparently you can use the Hola extension in your browser to watch it from the UK too.

While it bordered on being a touch on the cheesy side at times i found it very entertaining all the same and will definitely watch a few more episodes before making a definitive judgement.
Overall i couldn't help thinking that it had a distinct feel of that 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' movie but i thought it wasfar better!
It's got a warning for 'Graphic Violence', 'Nudity' and 'Adult Themes' before the show just in case you were thinking of watching it with the kids!
The production values were excellent as were the creatures and the special effects were very nicely done too.

I'd definitely recommend giving at least the first episode a try if you're into this kind of thing. Anything but 'Dreadful' i thought.
