The best character of Penny Dreadful...


... and the only reason this show has me hooked, is the mighty and engaging witch Evelyn Poole (McCrory). Though she's scary as hell .

A pitty she made the decision to serve the demon and to practice satanic rituals. Hope there is a chance for her to become "good" (such power should no be wasted on evil anymore!!!).

I agree with you, she is a hell of a charismatic villain! But so cruel...

She and T-Dalt have great chemistry and I also like her interactions with Simon Russell Beale aka Mr. Lyle. I like what she brings to the show esp. now we know more about her and why she works for the devil, it adds depth to her character.

She bugs the crap out of me. The second we saw her in the gun shop when she was still "innocent" i said... "she talks like a snake. Thats a bad lady."
