I became a fan during a show she was in called Camelot that was OK but she was excellent in and then Penny Dreadful. Besides the Bond movie I'm not sure if I've seen her in anything else. I've been meaning to watch Kingdom Of Heaven and The Peculiar Children movie.

She's a supporting character in the Peculiar Children movie so Wait until it's on Netflix.

those scenes where eva green is channeling her powers (like when she was in the asylum) are genuinely scary

I also was skeptical that they were making dracula the villain for the third season but the mythology they gave him is pretty interesting.

Been an exhausting week so I'm only 4 episodes in.

One more episode to go. Are there any shows that manage to make werewolves look good? The witch and vampire design (or at least the design of the human thralls) was excellent. But the wolf makeup looks dumb.

Otherwise I'm so depressed this is almost over. The end of the Lily storyline was pretty powerful.

season 3 needed one more episode, i think. Vanessa's fall was just a bit too quick

I could buy it, in the end. But she needed another episode to feel isolated from everyone and to have had a stronger relationship with Dracula prior to confronting him
