‘Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels’ is an overstuffed sausage that squanders a great cast


‘I see a bright future for you... so bright, you will move to Miami and hang out with a guy who likes to wear shades.’

There is a spellbinding moment in the most recent episode of new supernatural series Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels when Nathan Lane’s grizzled veteran LAPD detective Lewis Michener spins a huge yet convincing load of horse manure to get a murder suspect – obviously not a killer – to admit to five horrible slayings.

It is a marvellously acted, scripted and shot scene, in an episode that mostly revolves around the interrogation of that suspect and the leverage he holds over Michener’s partner Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovato).
