The characters in the Victorian series Penny Dreadful are lost, self-searching, and torn between different interpretations that only moments of crisis can reconcile. These two values: a society in decline and a generalized problem of individuation, treated with a grand, formal quality, mark Penny Dreadful out as one of the most striking modern television series.
