Chop Sunni posted:Awesome. Spoilers for the identity of the spy. The spy worked for the EIC, not the Crown. He did not know the location of the gunpowder (only that Delaney had more of it, which he was procuring on behalf of the USA). He had Carlsbad's real identity but there was no reason for him to give this up to to the EIC as it was only of interest to the Crown. I liked this series. I agree that they sort of abandoned their initial premise, and some of the plots went nowhere (I still don't understand what Delaney's half-sister was about...feels like the show couldn't find anything for her to do and then abruptly got sick of her and threw her in the river) but Hardy is magnetic, the dialog would occasionally just arc right off the screen, and the period detail and gothic atmosphere were enjoyable as hell. Also Tommy from Snatch turning into a convincing tough guy! I theorize that this show's fandom and Penny Dreadful's fandom are almost 100% overlap, since they hit a lot of the same notes.

KilGrey posted:I loved this show. I don't as tied to every episode. I can't wait for the next season. I'm sad the chemist died though. I really liked his character. I don't think he's dead. Last shot is him whispering to the (former) prostitute and just of ambiguously staring. I am 90% sure they left the fate of the actress and the chemist in limbo so they could either write them out or bring them back as needed. He was a cool dude. My wife pointed out they could have easily just done an episode that followed him around. He was clearly one of the greatest minds of the age but he used it to chase tail and get high. A modern man if there ever was one.

Uh...it could be mostly soot and a little singed epidermis. Yeah, that's it. Anyway I've had a couple weeks to sit on it and this was pretty good. I definitely think it petered out a bit and sort of traded in the gothic mysticism for a more conventional heist/revenge tale but I'm looking forward to season 2.
