The last episode of Penny Dreadful (Showtime) included some wonderful Tarot moments. Season 2, Episode 3. Patti LuPone as the witch is truly outstanding.

What can I say about this episode other than Wow? Just Wow! So good, so moving... Couldn't stop thinking about it when I went to bed.. Eva Green and Patti Lupone.. It doesn't get much better than that...
This is exactly how I feel about the whole series and this episode especially...As I person who has watched the series from the start as mostly a guilty pleasure (so gothic! so melodrama! so camp!), I have to admit that this episode was actually one of the finest pieces of television I have seen in general. It was perfectly assembled and executed, beautiful and moving from start to finish. The tarot moments were just icing for me.

My great grandma was a village midwife / herbalist / layer out of the dead (a witch in other words ) and I didn't find out about her until a few years ago... Women around the world are still treated as they were here.. Frightening stuff...
The tarot part was wonderful too.. I wish the deck was a nicer one though..
It's pretty dark and definitely strange - not for everyone. This one episode is a masterpiece.This series sounds great , I think I will go straight for the box set .
