Horror drama series attract many viewers these days – especially the bold ones, never the fainthearted. They seem to be trying not only to kill time but also to be enlightened by dangerous endeavors, as this genre comes in different forms. Come to think of it, there are plenty of them, but all are equally thrilled with so much mystery, especially the darkest ones. “Penny Dreadful” meets all those qualities, with an almost never-ending series of suspense.
“Stranger Things”: another interesting drama
This is not only a horror drama series like “Penny Dreadful”, but also science fiction. It has a touch of investigative drama utilizing so many supernatural elements, from having psychic abilities to witnessing peculiar events that the audience could not have expected at some point. Such a combination makes it even more compelling to the younger audience. The majority of the cast is young, meaning that young viewers can easily identify with the characters.
Does that sound very uplifting? So it seems. On the other hand, darkness lurks. One should never let one’s guard down. Focusing on the bright side might only make the audience more vulnerable to what’s about to come. Remember that it can only get stranger as one episode finishes after another. Surprises are constantly unfolding, leaving the viewer questioning what’s actually happening and what may happen next. Isn’t that strange?
Hannibal
Many know who Hannibal is but not everyone can confirm his existence. That’s something that always makes viewers curious about what his story maybe, along with the other characters playing significant roles with him. He can be the good guy or the bad guy. He simply embodies various personalities depending on how he’s portrayed in a certain context. That’s quite exciting! The thing here is, there’s something about it that’s beyond horror, so expect something grim.
The suspense may be limited within the series itself because it only has three seasons, but that may be a good thing because it’s worth watching. Those who want to binge-watch will find it easy to do so. At the onset or at various points in the series, some may sympathize with Dr. Hannibal Lecter – but the question is, will it last? Is it going to be like the drama itself that was cut a bit too soon?
Sleepy Hollow
This show may be confused with the film of the same title, which also satisfies the principles of this type of entertainment, but the cast and series itself sure are different. The film itself is utterly mysterious, while the drama series can be humorous – although there is a series of murders and other types of crime to be solved. There are some twists and turns, transporting the viewers to different realms of their imaginations.
The characters may not fully comprehend just how supernatural the events are, although they may tend to hold on to their superstitions. One thing is for sure: their mission is to put an end to the unwanted happenings, but how to do this can only be revealed along the way. This series is entrancing for its audience, making them willing to see the characters through and find out how it ends.
