15 Best New TV Shows Of 2020 (So Far)
14. Penny Dreadful: City of Angels
It's always a surprise to see a spin off of a popular show which actually works, and this rare tv phenomenon deserves to be spot-lighted when it does rear its head.
Still, it's no surprise that Penny Dreadful: City of Angels came together as well as it did.
After all, this moody mystery is carried by a barnstorming series of central turns by the versatile Natalie Dormer of Game of Thrones fame, with the actor playing a different guise of the trouble-stirring Magda with each passing episode.
She may set off the events of the series, but Magda is also the only constant in an ambitious show whose complex murder mystery plot follows numerous intersecting sets of characters across the 1930's social strata of the titular metropolis.
Add in a supporting cast including the reliably superb Nathan Lane and you've a dark, gothic supernatural mystery not to be missed.
