Interesting developments

The appearance of Madame Kali's witches restart the action in this episode after some dragging out of the storyline this season. Helen McCrory (RIP) makes a mistake in her lines when she mentions the relics in the room by mispronouncing Memento Mori as "momento mori". For some reason, that was kind of jarring for that scene, making the character seem ignorant.

Still, the witches are scary and the scenery in and around Madame's mansion is very well done. On another plane, the Creature's latest situation isn't very interesting to me. He is having to take another menial job while waiting for his bride to be brought to life. That's sort of ho-hum, IMO.

As usual, the settings are good and if Victorian era London is your thing, you'll like this latest stage of the storytelling. One thing I liked was the wax effigy of Queen Victoria, which was just like the portrait used on the coins of that stage of the Victorian era, called the "Jubilee Head" coin portrait.

Takes of well
jetkot2 November 2017
Iconic characters introduced in SEASON 1. I was not sure how will they continue. But it gets better. Harry Treadway is fantastic as Dr. Frankenstein and Rory Kinnear as Frankenstein's monster is brilliant too. He speaks with flair and says the famous lines "What is Dr. Frankenstien without it's monster". EVA Green looks gorgeous and the special effects are awe inspiring. The jumpscares keep you excited. The scenes have been shot really well. The long shots of the brooding city keep you glued to the screen expecting something to go wrong. Josh Hartnett adds the icing to the already delicious horrific horror story.

The Bride of Frankenstein is born

Warning: Spoilers
Frankenstein revived the girlfriend of the American wolfman. Vanessa was attacked by a group of witches and she calls them the Nightcomers. Frankenstein's creature found a job at a wax museum and he is one of my favorite characters.
