That’s the last season of that show I watched because I knew they wouldn’t top it (and I’m sure glad I stopped there).

A literal lost plot thread!

The photography over the credits was much better than the CG bird animation, though.

“Blasphemer! BLASPHEMER!!”

One thing I noticed about the (great. Damn Veronica Falcón is so good and has excellent chemistry with Matthew Rhys) scene with Lupe and Mason is Lupe spent the night. In the first episode, they made a point about how she never spends the night, even when Mason told her she could sleep there. Don’t know if it meant…

That hummingbird is a male Anna’s Hummingbird, which can easily be seen in Los Angeles with the help of a feeder like the one E.B. hangs. The sound people even got the distinctive buzzy/clicky song correct. The thing about an Anna’s though is that you need the exact right light to see its stunning red head, which is…

Really am liking this show more and more with every episode.

Except, the how of it says so much about the character. It would have been entirely out of place for him to act off-the-cuff, or to cause a mess, or to take a painful way out. He wanted to put his best foot forward, to do his best to make it pleasant for himself and for whoever found him. (I asked my mom why she…

I took an urban history course in my undergrad days and read about how in the 1300s you could smell Paris 100 miles away.

Lithgow is having a hell of a late career renaissance. He’s at the top of my list of actors who I’d like to have one last, break through role that nets them a (well deserved) Oscar.

Many of those shots were enlarged photos of the actual buildings that used to be on either side of Angels’ Flight. On one of them, you see Mason looking out of the window at the trolley, and then you can see the tenements behind it, and they cleverly animated the laundry hanging from a balcony to look like it was…

As withe everyone else here, I thought the series premiere was outstanding. And for the production, Penny Dreadful gives us one city block of period Los Angeles. Mason feels like it’s the entire city. Breathtaking at times, especially how the Angels Flight funicular was shot.

I know!  I'm glad Vince managed to write a female character that didn't get years of hate from assholes.  What a character, she's the real beating heart of the series. 

I loved how they used the fish tank in that (incredibly tense) encounter with Lalo. The symmetry of it: Saul is the fish- rattled almost to the point of death by Lalo’s insistent poking.

no, more like when he was talking about the world changing in an instant and my home has become an unrecognizable ghost town in the space of a week

I’m just glad I get to enjoy more of the S-Club-7-playing-awkwardly-from-car-radios Extended Universe.

So, at the very end, when Vince sees Frankie, and is led to the train by his brother. Was that saying that he was about to die?

It sure looked like an escorted walk to the underworld to me. 

I really enjoyed the series overall as well as the finale, though the closing walk went on a bit long. I agree with the previous poster that the only time I ever really cared for Abby was when she was telling off the city developer guy.

I was glad that, even off-camera, Eileen was able to complete her film. Speaking as…

I wasn’t really happy that the ending focused on Vincent, but his walk through a world of ghosts made me very sad. I never expected to reach my forties, and neither did so many of my friends. We were all in our twenties in the mid-90's and just as the Deuce chronicled one New York that isn’t there anymore, it made me…

I wanna see the Deuce spin-off/Wire prequel, where Black Frankie mentors young Avon and Stringer as they rise to prominence in the West Baltimore housing projects.
