Penny Dreadful: City of Angels on SHOWTIME

I'd realised that I have not raved as much of 2016's "Penny Dreadful" at all here on POPCORNX, than I had on my now inactive ILIKETEEVEE fan-blog, but perhaps it is as fitting to start anew with a brand new incarnation of "Penny Dreadful" - which has since moved from a period Victoria-era England, to 1938 Los Angeles! And while we've seen a teaser poster (featured below) and some stills, released today is the first trailer, which showcases the glorious yesterdays of a country I've only known/seen thru media ...
"A spiritual descendant of the original Penny Dreadful story set in Victorian-era London, Penny Dreadful: City of Angels opens in 1938 Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with social and political tension. When a grisly murder shocks the city, Detective Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto) and his partner Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane) become embroiled in an epic story that reflects the rich history of Los Angeles: from the building of the city's first freeways and its deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, to the dangerous espionage actions of the Third Reich and the rise of radio evangelism. Before long, Tiago and his family are grappling with powerful forces that threaten to tear them apart. Penny Dreadful: City of Angels will premiere on Sunday, April 26 at 10/9c only on SHOWTIME."
