I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it more. I've probably seen too many horror films to find anything that isn't real-life based scary, and I certainly wouldn't look for profundity in something called Penny Dreadful, but I see your point.
I did love that the regulars included James Bond (and Dalton has aged incredibly well), Vesper Lind (Eva Green) and Bill Tanner (Rory Kinnear), and even the great Helen McCrory, the villainess from season 2, was also in Skyfall (as the head of the hearing).
Just saw the documentary Tea with the Dames, about an afternoon (and career summarizing chat) shared by old friends Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Joan Plowright and Eileen Atkins. I hadn't known that Atkins had been married to For Your Eyes Only (and Last Crusade, and Empire Strikes Back) villain Julian Glover. And only in checking IMDB did I learn that Glover is still alive and acting (if I knew he'd done a lot of Game of Thrones, I'd definitely forgotten.)
And regarding Rome, much as I would have loved for it to have its planned four-season run, the way they compressed all those years into one final season was pretty amazing.
