Digging the tee, but it's the background decor that's catching my eye. I had no idea you were such a big fan of Showgirls! ❤️

Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, I regret ever doubting you because this is way beyond my expectations. Confessions II strikes all the right chords; it's fresh but also intimate and profoundly reflective. I didn't foresee crying on the dancefloor, but here we are, and I'm thankful.

Agreed. Her performance was outstanding. She truly impressed me. Especially when she switched between Lily and Brona in the same scene. That's no easy feat. The heartfelt monologue about losing her baby in the S3 finale touched me. Simon Beale, who plays Ferdinand Lyle, is also one of my favourites.

Indeed. The entire cast is incredibly talented. Absolutely no duds among them. Boggles my mind to think Eva Green didn't win any awards for her performance. She received several nominations, though. A Blade of Grass, from Season 3, was one of my all-time fave episodes. Eva and Rory really delivered.

Empress Elisabeth of Austria, also known as Sisi, wore a mourning veil and mask after her son Rudolf tragically committed suicide during the Mayerling incident in 1889. Fanny Scheiner created this piece, which is available to view at the Kunst Historisches Museum in Vienna. #FashionHistory

And I agree that the story's vibe is strongly related to its location. It's tricky! I'm not sure if we'd have gotten the happy ending with Vanessa and Ethan together that so many fans desired; I believe it would have been a bittersweet ending.

But she is somehow connected to Amunet. It was evident to me that they will do something with the Egyptian theme in future seasons. Especially since we had the character of Ferdinand Lyle, an Egyptologist himself. I'm sure season 5 would have reunited all of our characters back in Victorian London.

I agree to some extent. However, I believe they needed to explore the Egyptian plot because it was such an important aspect of Vanessa's character from the very beginning. She's supposedly the incarnation of the goddess Amunet, although the spirit within Vanessa at the séance said she's much older.

According to some of the actors, the audience was dwindling, and the show was extremely expensive to make. Season 4 was to be, in part, set in Egypt, with Ethan Chandler, Ferdinand Lyle, Sir Malcolm Murray, and Catriona Hartdegento on a quest to save Vanessa from Dracula/Lucifer. Wasted potential.

The third season started out well. However, things went swiftly downhill after E4, imo. Many fans are unaware that Showtime cancelled the show just as the third season was set to begin filming. John Logan was forced to do last-minute rewrites and come up with an ending. Hence why it felt so rushed.

Penny Dreadful, a.k.a. the best Gothic horror series ever made, celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. Sorry, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, but you don't even come close. We were robbed of five seasons by Paramount. I won't forgive or forget. www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/best-got...

The Best Gothic Horror Series Ever Made Needs More Recognition, Every Frame Is Art

Once confined to Showtime, this big-budget gorgeous gothic horror is now on streaming, and it's still worth watching today.
