Speaking of Penny Dreadful“Her character, Evelyn Poole, is still one of my favorite villains.” As a witch, second season, she is a powerful and ruthless antagonist without mercy. Seeing her go from foot to foot with Eva Green in the presentation of the second season is a moment I will never forget:
McCrory was a skillful actress who lacked grace and talent.
