<i>Penny Dreadful</i> – “Glorious Horrors” Review. Sealed With a Kiss. 7

The romantic interludes from last week’s steamy “Above the Vaulted Sky” linger slightly as “Glorious Horrors” opens. From breakfast in bed to a bit of vanity, our beloved characters venture out for a seemingly “splendid” day only to have it marred with bad news and ill wishes. Meanwhile, danger is afoot in London and our friend John Clare (Rory Kinnear) finds himself in a bit of a predicament with his new employer.

In keeping with the tone of Nurse Jackie’s final season, episodic writer Heidi Schreck and director Brendan Walsh hit it out of the park with “Serviam in Caritate.” The audience learns a lot about several characters’ backgrounds, which explains a great deal about some of the things they do.

The Whispers Series Premiere – “X Marks the Spot” Review. The Most Important Game.

<i>The Whispers</i> Series Premiere – “X Marks the Spot” Review. The Most Important Game. 16

If you’re looking for a good mystery to tuck you in on Monday nights, The Whispers is the one for you. If you have trouble with kids in scary movies and those weird talking toys, you may have some issues watching The Whispers. As the synopsis on the show’s website tells you, the series is about a so-called “imaginary friend” and only certain children can hear the entity known as “Drill.” But it’s much more complex and intriguing than the simple synopsis makes it out to be. As I watched the first three installments, I devoured them one right after the other. The story draws you in like a moth to a flame. A piece of the puzzle dangles in front of you waiting to be placed, but with each piece connected, a new, even odder piece arrives.

<i>Outlander</i> Season Finale –“To Ransom a Man’s Soul” Review. What an End to a Beginning. 19

As a season finale, “To Ransom a Man’s Soul” hits the let’s-see-how-deep-we-can-go nail on the head. We can only surmise what adventures await Claire and Jamie by the end of season one.

Penny Dreadful – “Above the Vaulted Sky” Review. Afraid of the Dark.

<i>Penny Dreadful</i> – “Above the Vaulted Sky” Review. Afraid of the Dark. 20

Pardon me while I take a very cold shower. The arousing ending to “Above the Vaulted Sky” almost makes you forget what happens at the beginning of the episode…almost. There be wicked deeds and “tenacious” activities going on in merry old London. As our adventurers, Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Vanessa (Eva Green), Ethan (Josh Hartnett), Sembene (Danny Sapani), Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway), and Ferdinand Lyle (Simon Russell Beale) shore up Sir Malcolm’s residence to reinforce it against a future attack by the witches, using any and all means necessary, the vivaciously deceptive Evelyn Poole (Helen McCrory) toys with her dolls.

Nurse Jackie – “Managed Care” Review. Vultures All Around.

<i>Nurse Jackie</i> – “Managed Care” Review. Vultures All Around. 21

Writer Abe Sylvia penned an extremely emotional episode with “Managed Care” and director Jesse Peretz expertly brings Sylvia’s vision to fruition. From Zoey (Merritt Wever) and Carrie’s (Betty Gilpin) fun new relationship, to a cancer patient’s unwillingness to fight for his life and the revelation tying him to Dr. Prince (special guest star Tony Shalhoub), I switched between grinning and a tear or two trickling down my cheeks.

<i>Bitten</i> – “Dark Arts” Review. More Unfinished Business. 22

If something looks too good to be true, it’s because usually it is. So, it doesn’t surprise me to learn Aleister’s (Sean Rogerson) story line is far from over after the events in “Bad Dreams.” In “Dark Arts,” Aleister returns with a vengeance; but like most things involving the homicidal warlock, there’s a catch.
