I saw the first couple episodes of Penny Dreadful

Has anyone been watching that?

I... neither greatly liked nor greatly disliked it.  I mean, given the sheer awesomeness of the premise, I would have expected to either really love it or have enough visceral NO not to want to see it ever again, but I didn't really have either.  So sort of... meh?  I mean, the character motivations make very little sense to me (I could get specific with anyone who wants to talk about it, but I don't have strong enough feelings on the subject to go full on rant) and there's a kind of general bad horror movie logic to it, where a lot of little things happen for no particular reason just for cheap scares.

So, I like the cast a lot- especially Billie Piper, who I've missed seeing regular-like- and since I'd heard that Dorian was gay and he seemed pretty into girls in the episodes I saw I'm guessing he's maybe bi?  Which is cool?  (By which I mean it would be awesome if he was because I've never seen a bisexual male on TV before, but I will believe it when I see it)
