…citing many of the reasons why I never migrated away from physical media.

I know why they're making a comeback, I just think it's kinda funny. Here's an old style portable cassette player or boom box but with Bluetooth.
Not long ago I saw a video of an Irish father presenting his teenage daughter with a Walkman and asking her to figure out how to operate it.

I'm watching Penny Dreadful for the first time. I hope the rest of the series is as good as the first two episodes. If so, I'm disappointed that there are only 27 episodes.

I don’t know that one.

I don’t know that one.

It was on Showtime about a decade ago.

Yes.
REALLY DAMN GOOD.

I have all three seasons on dvd. It's on my list of series I rewatch in rotation. I've probably rewatched it four times so far, and I still love the hell out of it...

In fact, I'm going to start rewatching it again soon since you brought it up.

I don’t know that one.

It intertwines a lot of the popular horror characters of the Victorian era into an interesting new story - I won't go into who shows up since Aeson hasn't watched it yet, but the waters run deep. And all of them are interesting and different takes on the characters than what you've seen before.
As I said, the list of characters is long and so is the talent. Timothy Dalton. Eva Green. Josh Hartnett. In later seasons, Patti Lupone and Wes Studi. Even Brian Cox makes a brief appearance later on. And If you know anything about UK theatre and cinema, you'll recognize at least a dozen other actors.
If you like classic Victorian horror, Penny Dreadful is something you need to see.

I have a question for you.

Spoiler

Did Frankenstein's monster reference Shelley? I swear that's what I heard, but I don't know what exactly was said.
