All ten episodes of the award-winning medical drama series' second season, set in 1901, is available in this collection. Dr. John Thackery (Clive Owen) continues to perform cutting-edge operations, including an electrical brain stimulation and a devised procedure to seperate conjoined twins, while battling a heroin addiction that is becoming increasingly dire. Meanwhile, the gifted Dr. Algernon Edwards (Andre Holland), who has ascended to the role of acting chief of surgery, continues to face racially-charged disrespect while dealing with the reappearance of his strong-willed wife, Opal (Zaraah Abrahams). Subplots include Nurse Elkins' (Eve Hewson) search for personal and professional fulfillment, a fiery, near-death experience and various other events in and out of Knickerbocker Hospital with grave consequences. All ten episodes are directed by Academy Award-winning director Steven Soderbergh.
I enjoy this series. Well done and always has interesting plots. Well acted and has a little of everything. Drama, romance, horror, and interesting twist.
This bone chilling release from the horror series Penny Dreadful includes all eight episodes of the show's first season, following characters in Victorian England through many terrifying, sexually disturbing horrors.
