Penny Dreadful Season Finale – “And They Were Enemies” Review. Know Your Master.

<i>Penny Dreadful</i> Season Finale – “And They Were Enemies” Review. Know Your Master. 10

The climax to last week’s penultimate episode, “And Hell Itself My Only Foe,” comes hard and fast in Penny Dreadful’s game changing season two finale, “And They Were Enemies.” While I would have preferred the conclusion to the ultimate face-off between Vanessa (Eva Green) and her devil possessed doppelgänger doll to last a little longer, I appreciate the way series creator and writer John Logan ties things up swiftly. This allows him to utilize the remaining 45 minutes of “And They Were Enemies” to set up what can best be described as a cryptic third season to come. Our adventures, Vanessa, Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett), Victor Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway), and Ferdinand Lyle (Simon Russell Beale), must continue “moving forward,” and some must go on their journey alone.
